80's and early 90's music

Hey guys I'm trying to put together a list of mid to late 80's music on into the early 90's. Some of the stuff I've heard and liked I don't even remember who it was or who it was by. So I'm looking for you guys to help me come up with some tracks to check out to see if I remember them. Don't post anything like PM Dawn or Run DMC, etc. I have that covered already I'm looking for the stuff that may have popped up on the top 40, sounded cool but was never really heard again. Some of the songs I've found recently are Klymaxx - I Miss You, Breathe - Hands To Heaven, Sheriff - When I'm With You. Some of the stuff I'm trying to find may have not been on the top 40, I was just using that as an example since I found those on the old top 40 lists.

So if you guys remember any cool songs or might know of something I should check out please post it.

i'll look at that list now... stay tuned.

wow, thats a big list. and no, be, i was not put in the hoosgow. I just thought it to be appropriate.

"the globe" - big audio dynamite
"one more try" - timmy t.
"crack rock" - the dogs
"alice everyday" - book of love
"tom's diner (dna mix)" - suzanne vega
"change" - cathy dennis

i got more, let me run to the store for some cigs.......

hey same deep u got the toms diner album? with all the different remixes??/

yes, on cassette. i dig about 3/4ths of it.

samedeep got me thinkin....

DAMN..

here's a short list for the 1 and twos...

Dominos-donald byrd
rock, scate, roll, bounce,(more specificly..the "GET DOWN" break)<---damn i forgot who did that vaugn mason i think


ummm...

Mount airy Groove-pieces of a dream

and doood...
the ultimate...must hear LOUD AS ALL HELL IN A CLUB...

Genius of LOVE<----the Tom Tom Club


the champ...-the mohawks

take me to the mardi gras-bob james

and big beat..-billy squire


but you didn't need me to tell you that last 4 did you
:bowlaugh: :bowlaugh: :bowlaugh: :bowlaugh:


b

Yep, that was crazy old Vaughn. :)

genius of love rawks :bowdown:

I can't stand the Genius of Love song... played out to the xtreme. I have to change the station if I hear it on the radio. :ugh: :barfkiss:

luckily i don't listen to the radio. yes, genius of love, is the shit in clubs. specifically the 12" version.




p.s. hiero that tom's diner album isn't really a remix album. it has one of the dna mixes that were all over the radio back then, and then it's a bunch of cover versions or parodys done by other people, or things that are somehow related to it. it also has the excellent dna mix of vega's "rusted pipe".
it's a neat album tho.

damn...i'm sorry you feel that way chris...because you are depriving yourself of some great vibration...


i know they play it alot...but there's a reason for that....i mean ..i feel the same way about heartbeat...and good times...but when i hear em...i force myself to listen...they deserve at least that much respect from me..in my opinion..

i mean shit...people used to say that about set adrift...some people still feel that way...

but yeah...i feel like it's one of the greatest songs of all time...like billie jean and kiss

my two cents
b.

Damm...y'all be keepin me feelin old.

Genius Of Love, Heartbeat, Good Times, Billie Jean and Kiss all rolled up together couldn't even sniff the drawers of about 100 '70s songs that I can think of. :fawkdance: :wiggle:

start a 70s post coz..i like all that 70s kool jazz and funk! definitely sum bootsy..

Yeah, those two are definitely a couple of my favorites too. I just can't listen to the Genius of Love any more. Here's me at a club when I hear that song ----> :squintdance:

I don't know about Billie Jean, but Kiss... ! Oh yeah. Prince is just tooo amazing. Gotta love him.

love
Elizabeth

c'mon elizabeth, Billy Jean rocks hard. I love that song, what a song. I am not so sure of kiss though, hmmm. It seems like we all like 1 or the other of these 2 songs...xcept for be

I like Billie Jean...I like Genius Of Love and Heartbeat even more, and Good Times is a classic! Still all together they aren't worth 1 beat of Love Is The Message...

And Kiss SUCKED!!! :wiggle:

hmm i like billie jean too.

i'm with liz & Coz unfortunatly i'm just not a Kiss fan.

Prince is good, Liz did you know he's about to put something new out?? I saw he preformed at one of the awards & was suppose to be on Leno last night.

prince was dope on leno.. musicology :dancingcool:

Ummm...I believe that we were all referring to Prince's song "Kiss". :ughdance:

I know I was...

I can't BE-LIIIIEEEVE anyone could not like that song. The beat and Prince's voice are too cool. He's got such a feisty attitude. :)

Elizabeth

That song bored me to tears. :)
