It is pretty similar to mine, except that I would have to have some of the British Mod/Two Tone bands:<BR/><BR/>UB40 "I am a one in ten"<BR/>Specials "Ghost Town"<BR/>Madness "Our House"<BR/>The Beat (Birmingham UK band) "Mirror In The Bathroom"<BR/>The Jam "That's Entertainment"<BR/><BR/>Also Ultravox "Vienna" (not mod or two-tone)<BR/><BR/>I loved that music when I was in my midteens and it was one way that I remaind different to my friends, who mostly prefered either pop/rock or classical.<BR/><BR/>Now I'm going to have to get some of these from iTunes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-1140588155447900392006-02-22T01:02:00.000-05:002006-02-22T01:02:00.000-05:00Hope you had a good birthday. and she too! great 8...Hope you had a good birthday. and she too! <BR/><BR/>great 80s list.

I took three years of high school German and still could only understand half of it. German has a habit of coining huge mega-long nouns. Cyndi probably doesn't deserve two slots but I liked "Time After Time" as a song about nostalgia and couldn't short shrift "Girls Just Wanna..." which is one of the iconic songs of the 80s.yellojkthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592683505688819187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-1140495466826168942006-02-20T23:17:00.000-05:002006-02-20T23:17:00.000-05:00Late to the party (as usual), but with a few minut...Late to the party (as usual), but with a few minutes to spare that it doesn't have to be belated. Happy Birthday to you both!<BR/><BR/>A minor quibble: Cyndi Lauper appears twice on the list. For my money you could drop "Time After Time" and replace it with Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me With Science" or the original German version of Nena's "99 Luftballons", which blew the doors off of the English version. Actually, that whole album was pretty good, even if I didn't know what she was singing.<BR/><BR/>Also: The Thompson Twins' "In the Name of Love" was far superior to the dreck of "Doctor Doctor". But that's my lame-ass opinion. I have others but I'll shut up now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-1140481650429323512006-02-20T19:27:00.000-05:002006-02-20T19:27:00.000-05:00Happy birthday to you and the Mrs.!!

What was it about May? ;)<BR/><BR/>Love the 80's list - I was a big Duran Duran, Thompson Twins, Tears For Fears and all the English bands. Although I'd have to take Katrina and the Waves off your list. Can't <I>stand</I> that bloody song. I'd also agree with Mrs. Yello that U2 did some of their best work prior to 1990. The Joshua Tree album has to be one of their best.Mooselethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16874418427786990740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-1140478420481781042006-02-20T18:33:00.000-05:002006-02-20T18:33:00.000-05:00Thanks for stopping by my blog.You weren't a day l...Thanks for stopping by my blog.<BR/>You weren't a day late, my B-day is the 21st. :)<BR/>Happy B-day to you and your wife.<BR/><BR/>A couple more 80's songs that I love are:<BR/>Don't you Want Me Baby (Human League)<BR/>and Burning Down The House--was that Talking Heads?<BR/>I loved Prince's music in the 80's.<BR/><BR/> My children even think it was the coolest American decade to date.

I don't think "80s music" when I hear them, I think "great music". My wife is a bigger U2 fan than I am and likes that they have a "Best of 1980-1990" album because that is the era of their music she prefers over the Achtung Baby/Zooropa stuff.yellojkthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592683505688819187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-1140455368638171572006-02-20T12:09:00.000-05:002006-02-20T12:09:00.000-05:00Happy Birthday to you both!I've got to say, that i...Happy Birthday to you both!<BR/><BR/>I've got to say, that is probably the BEST 80s music playlist I've ever seen.
