Love this one by Alphaville, I was 3 when the 80s ended, but love the decade of music.
This one makes me emotional
Forever Young By Alphaville
-
Ahhh, yea, the 80's were great. Good choice

Forever Young By Alphaville
Awwww thank you for posting this Jessica! I was around 18 or 19 when this came out, and yes....it does make me feel 'Forever Young' to hear it! I grew up in the 80s and I LOVE '80s music. It was such a fun time in my life. Merit earned for you too. As soon as the damn site will let me! >:(
-
Ah the 80's or as i call it the soundtrack of my life from sixteen to twenty six the music defined me!
-
Another of my favorites from the 80s. A jukebox classic
Tiffany I Think We’re Alone Now
-
Love this original version but I also love the cover by Girls Aloud in 2006!
-
I had a big crush on Tiffany back in the day! ;D She reminded me a lot of a girl I used to party with quite a bit.
-
Love this original version but I also love the cover by Girls Aloud in 2006!
Yes the original isn’t played very often, I liked the Girls Aloud version too
That’s nice to hear Vile8r a crush?? I don’t think Tiffany done much after this track.
-
Wilson Philips Hold On. This song got popular again after featured in the successful comedy “Bridesmaids”
I remember it as child and when I was older this song use to pick me up out of a bad place. Loved it and one of my favorites
-
My ex was a big Wilson Philips fan. I used to have to listen to it quite a bit with her. Wasn't all bad. ;D
-
You have great taste in music
-
I have to say you and I seem to be musically inclined so far! May?be we should introduce you to some of our favorites?
-
This is my idea of a sophisticated make out song. Brian Ferry was hot!!!
This is Slave To Love
Also a good alternative cover by the talented Roisin Murphy not losing its culture at all.

I love Bryan Ferry's voice!
-
Brian Ferry is an iconic singer but I really want to thank you for the introduction to Roisin Murphy. I'll be borrowing this one when I play a dj friend on another site in a cover version topic!
-
Meanwhile, I'm over here like...
-
It’s loud Ghost, one for the boys I think, or Vikings before they go on a rape spree.
-
Who doesn’t like this one.
Men At Work
Down Under (1983)
-
Oh hell yes.
-
They were one of Australia's best export One of the best reasons to surf Australian radio stations!
-

There’s nothing wrong with loud. Loud is good. Here’s one that’s a little tamer then
-

Men At Work
Down Under (1983)
Good memories from the summer of '82!
-
This is just such a power ballad. Paul Young and Every Time You Go Away(1984)
A huge hit in the US by all accounts. Love this one.....
-
He totally disappeared from North American Radio and Music Channels after "Everything Must Change" . A total pity because I love both songs nd his greatest hits Cd!
-
Paul Young always had great songs, and it was a shame he disappeared into pop music oblivion. One of my personal faves from him was 'I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down.'
-
One of the British female icons of the 80s was Kim Wilde
This is one her classics and I adore it.
You Came (1988)
-
Who doesn’t like this one.
Men At Work
Down Under (1983)
Always loved this song but the first time I've ever seen the video of it! Was this normal in the 80's? I feel so young with all these wonderful bits of music.
-

This is one her classics and I adore it.
You Came (1988)
Rip off I'm not allowed to see the video! Love Kim! also loved how she was spoken about by one radio DJ as being the Barbie Doll come to life who could sing!
-

Must check out that one. He still does these 80s stars tours here with Howard Jones, T’Pau and Midge Ure the odd time
-
Well this is from my older sister’s playlist, this is another Transatlantic hit, with
T’Pau Heart And Soul
-
Another great song from the eighties. Really love their "China In Your Hand"
-
This one is another favorite and one of my favorite bands from the era
Many will know it from the film The Breakfast Club
It’s Don’t Forget About Me , by Simple Minds
-
One of my faves. Loved that song when it came out. Still do.
-
I swear the eighties has some of the best music ever!
-
It's kind of funny. In 1986 I went and saw Simple Minds in concert. At the time I was a real metal head, more into Judas Priest, and Ozzy and Iron Maiden and all those kinds of bands. But I had versatile tastes and I really loved their song, 'Alive and Kicking'. I bought that album, 'Once Upon A Time,' which i still consider one of the best albums of the '80s and I played it a lot. It was damn good! And the concert was awesome! Jim Kerr is a great singer and a real showman in concert. I had friends who ridiculed me for going to that concert but I have NEVER regretted it!
-
Probably the biggest girl group out of the UK in the 80’s. Had a few US hits too.
This Is Love In the First Degree by Bananarama
-
Love this video, love the song, and Simon Le Bonne. I love you!!!
This is Rio by Duran Duran (1982)
-
Love anything they did.
-
Generally speaking I’m not a fan of covers, but I really think Disturbed’s cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence” was just so phenomenal...
-
Never a fan of Duran Duran- used to make fun of their lyrics constantly! Loved Bananarama thought thrie remake of "Venus" was the best sone they ever sent to Canada!
-
A bit away from the usual classic 80s that’s featured in this thread.
But this one makes my eyes fill up, simply beautiful
It’s Lynyrd Skynyrd Tuesday’s Gone.
-
Can never go wrong with some good ol' Lynrd!
-
Such a beautiful song Vile8r!!!
Ok back to the 80s a one hit wonder I thought of in the games room.
My word......it’s catchy!!
This is Tarzan’s Boy by Baltimora
-

Oh wow! You really know how to transport me back to the '80s! Visiting your thread is like jumping in a time machine!
-
Now Tarzan's Boy you could have keep under the pile. I fully understand why he was considered a one hit wonder in England and over hear!
-
Sorry!!! It is catchy though ok another I mentioned in the games room.
The Passions I’m In Love With A German Filmstar
-

The Passions I’m In Love With A German Filmstar
I so love the early '80s British new wave/pop.
-
New wave must have been a breakthrough then!
Ok another Simple Minds one. This is a less plaid but powerful anti war track
It’s Ghostdancing (Scottish accents are sexy!!)
-
"I'm In Love With A German Film Star"- musically great, lyrically left a bit to be desired to me. Maybe after a few more plays it'll grow on my
Ghostdancing- not available to Canadian Viewers, which rarely stops this one found the cd cut to listen too have to say a great song that neveer made it to Canadian listeners!
The Sixties and the Eighties had to be the best times for Brit acts in North America!

What do you mean, "a great song that never made it to Canadian listeners?" I had this album back in the 80s on cassette and that track was on it! 'Once Upon A Time' is one of my favorite albums of the '80s! This was one of several great songs off that album! Thanks for posting it, Jessica!

Not sure about Western Radio stations but the big station at the time here only played "Don't You Forget About Me" and then only when Simple Minds were within their broadcast range touring!

Oh, we had a station from Edmonton that played quite a bit of 'Simple Minds'.
-
Glad you both liked Simple Minds.
Now another song by a UK artist which was more of a hit in the USA than here,
It’s Wang Chung, Dance Hall Days such a retro vibe to it.
Videos a bit odd. Enjoy.

Whenever I hear the name of the band it brings back memories of Wang Chung make at come canned Chinese meals. Damn now I want chow mein and more eighties music!
-
Omg someone mentioned tiffany and girls aloud?! Sorry but almost as sad as liking Justin Bieber...
Personally I'm a big Rod Stewart fan...love the old crooner....

Hey let’s not say things we can’t take back!! Lol We can forget Justin Bieber.
Like Rod the Mod
Just for you then Rod Stewart Rhythm Of My Heart, love this one actually.
-
Great song by one of the great holdovers!
-
Ok a bit away from the usual 80s
This is a tune close to my heart
My Teenage years I played this on repeat
It’s Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
The video is creepy, terrifying and epic
-

Soundgarden is epic, period! One of my FAVORITE bands of the '90s and gives me even more reason to want to marry you! ;D Just kidding! And Black Hole Sun isn't even the best track off that album ( in my view anyway ) but yeah Chris Cornell (rest his beautiful soul ) and the boys were in top form on this song. Many people thought Soundgarden was 'selling out' on this song, but I don't believe so. I look at it as the musical maturing of one of the finest bands of the 1990s.
-
They sure are Vile8r!! More of that coming up.
Today back to the 80s with this US hit and power ballad
Wasn’t a hit in the UK don’t know why!!
It’s St Elmo’s Fire, by John Parr
-
Even here in North America he wasn't really that much of a star four charted song and he disappeared from the airwaves
-
So in Iola’s brill dossier post, I mentioned I like 60s music, yes I do my mum is a woman of the era and a hippie, so used to it.
This is The Righteous Brothers
You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling
-
That is a 60s song that always makes me think of the 80s, ironically! LOL. Because of the inclusion of that song in the 1986 Top Gun movie.
Good pick, Jessica!
-
How about a lovely classic from 1975 for this lazy Sunday?

Speaking of Lola
A great song, love a lot of the Kink’s stuff.
-
Right to hell with it straight into the pinnacle of late 60s rock
This is Jefferson Airplane at Woodstock, with Volunteers
Grace Slick.......what more can I say, one of the coolest women of the time.
Love her outfit, her hair and her voice. Peace out!!!
-
Love Jefferson Airplane. Great music.
-
Never a big fan of Jefferson Airplane until the early 2000, then I started to appreciate them and their music!
-
Grace Slick.......what more can I say, one of the coolest women of the time.
She really was! Everytime I hear 'White Rabbit' I always think of the movie Platoon.
-
Platoon!! One of my favs!!!
Today and the frame of mind I’m in it’s a gem from the 70s
Marvelously artsy and chilling it’s Kate Bush with Wuthering Heights
-
That brings back memories of getting home from school, my sister having tha playing and me questioning who the retard singing was! I got hit more times over that than playing baseball!
-
I love Kate Bush's voice. Like you say, very haunting.
-
I'm in a head banging mood man! Yeeeeah! Lol xxx iola
-
Actually like Black Sabbath, my brother would be a big fan.
Ok this one just gives me the tingles, and the video is from a classic film and one of my favorites Easy Rider.
It’s famous but this thread is mainstream.
It’s Steppenwolf Born To Be Wild!! This is where my deep forbidden love for bikers comes from I’m sure
-
Love it a true classic from the end of the 60's! if you want to hear the sing killed big time Go to youtube and search for Kim Wilde- Born To Be Wild
-
Going back to bands I listened to in my uni days.

Love that song. Living in that Era was the best.
-
Never cared for Sabbath, brother thought they were gods,i just thought noise!
-
So staying in the 60s with one of that dear and far out lady who is my mum’’s favorite group and what I heard growing up on a daily basis.
It’s the Doors Light My Fire, the musicians are just beyond exceptional. And Jim Morrison!!! Well!! I was born the wrong time.
-
Now there was a band with an iconic lead singer who commanded the stage with just his voice alone!
-
I love the video and advert...
Hate Phil Collins though
xxx iola
-
A great advert Iola always made me laugh!
Right a blast from 1997, it’s The Verve and Bittersweet Symphony
Everything from the true lyrics to the world wonderful video captivates me and nostalgia is kicking in.
Some say it was ripped off from The Rolling Stones can’t confirm this .
Anyway Enjoy xxx
-
According to Wikipedia the song sampled the Stones's "The Last Time" and that to settle the claim Mick and Keith were added to the song credits!. Super distinct song the did well over here on the charts. Personally always thought it was a whiney song!
-

Ok back to the 80s with another new wave fave of mine, this is Flock Of Seagulls and Wishing,
https://youtu.be/opkzgLMH5MA (https://ravishu.com//youtu.be/opkzgLMH5MA)
-
The lady has good tastes
-
Don't think I've heard that since the eighties! Flock were two hit wonder over here in Toronto! Between the two this was the better on, I Ran being the other option!
-
Haven't heard this song in years! Thank you for posting!

-
Agreed Roxette was a damn good band, a perfect blend of Eighties vibe with The 90's attitude!
-
The saviour of Brylcreem in the 1980s . Art of noise . Moments in love .
-
Who didn’t like Roxette!! thanks guys for the videos!!!
-
An 80's fave of mine...
The Promise by When In Rome (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HI_xFQWiYU)
-
That’s a good one ravishfan haven’t heard it in awhile.
Today I’m in nostalgic Britpop mode so this is a track I played on cassette religiously as a 10year old in the Summer of 96,
It’s Oasis Champagne Supernova.
-
Another good one Jessica :)
-
So keeping up with 90s Britpop!!
Another favorite band of mine that led to an hook up, at a festival in 2009’
It’s the Manic Street Preachers and Design For Life.
https://youtu.be/TfEoVxy7VDQ (https://youtu.be/TfEoVxy7VDQ)

A great song and brings back good memories of the '90s. One of my personal faves from Oasis was 'What's the Story, Morning Glory?'
Too bad those two wanks, Liam and Noel couldn't get along. They made good music but couldn't stand each other. Maybe their mother needed to step in and give each one a kick in the ass! "Now get out there you two and play together nice, or I'm taking your instruments away!" :emot_rotf.gif:
-
Very true Vile8r Liam I think was worse, and Noel seems to be doing well with his High Flying Birds.
I do doubt they will ever play again as Oasis , but I guess they did always want to be the Manchester Beatles.
Glad you like them definitely a band from my childhood.
-
Oasis was always so full of themselves in my opinion
Manic Street Preachers- Caught them live Ontario Place back in 1994 thought they sounded better live than on cd!
Bot decent songs but i never understood the term BritPop-should have been BritRock to me
-
I agree it was far more of a rock sound.
Right this one, for some reason I listened to a lot on my way to college, and I associate it with my first car, before I got into a crash, it’s Depeche Mode and Personal Jesus
-
Two people have been at me for years trying to get me into Depeche Mode for over ten years and I have to admit that they have gotten me to buy all the cd's I can find. But I've never liked "Personal Jesus" i prefer "People Are people myself!
-
Having a touch of insomnia and listening to few oldies haven’t heard in ages
This is the Korgis Everybody’s Got To Learn Something
-
Thank you for the introduction to the Korgis- they never made it to North America (At least not Toronto!) love she smooth sound will look for more by them! I take it your mom would play that while you were napping, since the song is now 39 years old and your....! ;)
-
I first heard it at the Live 8 concert on tv back in 2005 I didn’t think it was that old but I like it smooth as you say
My mums very much a Bob Dylan fangirl and 60s music lol
Glad you like it.
-

My adoptive parents met, by accident, at the RoseBowl, where Depeche Mode were recording (and performing, obviously) “101”, back in 1989. Both were English kids, having finished uni and travelling while taking time out - they had never ever met before. They say they noticed the other during “Stripped”, shortly after it started and got closer and closer, in the crowd, ending up singing together through song after song, until they were both hoarse, whereupon my mini skirt-wearing mother (cringe at the thought) climbed on my dad’s shoulders to get a better view of Dave Gahan , who my dad was trying his best to look like. When she commented on his appearance and confided that Gahan “makes me moist” (seriously, they told this story at my 18th birthday party, to all my friends! Jesus!) my dad knew he was “in there”! :o :emot_weird.gif:
Two years later they were married, and six years after that, in ‘97, they bravely (foolishly) adopted a surly, young but large orphan kid from the Dark Continent.
I was never much of a fan, to be honest, growing up. But, upon being told by the story, by them, and realising that I would not be with them, or where I am today without their love of (and, in mother’s case, lust for) the band, I sat and listened to the recording from that concert. It’s fucking superb, I have to say - even if I am biased, thanks to their role in my life - and I still listen to it, in the car, sometimes or if on long journeys!
Their more “recent” stuff has been equally good, if not better. I have “Wrong” as a ringtone on my phone, still, for a certain person (and the video is amazing). ;)
Tars
-
What a cool story Tars!
-
Agreed lovely story Tarkas xx
-
Lovely story, nah! She just wanted to “boink” him she says, any chance she gets (to embarrass me - or try). Her own bargain basement Dave Gahan, except now balding and potbellied. ;) 0vomit0 ::)
-
Today thinking a bit of my late father and he’d bring us for dinner in a country pub when I was little and this song reminds me of such sweet memories, the smell of beef and onions, tobacco, and the sound of people talking loudly and glasses clinking while my sister and I played with our dolls. Probably so wrong now, but they were the times
It’s James Sit Down 1991
-
Never heard of that or the band before, guarantee I'll surf youtube to learn more!
-
That’s an anthemic song, one from my youth, for sure. Many memories...
-
Not familiar with it, but I like it :)
-
So being brought to Metallica by the other half at Twickenham in two weeks time
Bit heavy for me and it’s the third time a partner has dragged me to them however some of their stuff I’ll listen to and here is one start softly and get harder isn’t that right?
Metallica Nothing Else Matters
-
Much like you Metallica never really made an impression on me! For me they are a take it or leave it type of band!
-
Agree, they never were my go to group, but I do like this song.
-
Tonight I’m sharing what I consider one of my most favorite music videos
It’s power at its finest with a typical Meatloaf stage show
It’s I Will Do Anything For Love( But I won’t Do That)
-
In my opinion one of the greatest star of Theatrical Rock in the history of the genre. Only Meatloaf bring Jim Steinman's to life with such flare! By the end of a song or video you feel emotionally wrung out!
-
I saw Meatloaf in concert way back in 1989. Still to this day one of the most energetic shows I can ever recall seeing. The man was just nonstop! Excellent concert!
-

Really jealous of the bands you got to see in their prime
Does he even perform anymore.

Yes he does. He was on a tour just 2-3 years ago I remember hearing.
-
Friday I shall be there listening to him
Bon Jovi Bad Medicine live at Wembley London 1995
-
Saw then live in Toronto, never really understood their appeal , some song good (Living In Sin) some pabulum! (Wanted Dead or Alive)
-
In that holiday buzz so sharing a song that makes me feel like holidays and is one of my all time happy songs!!!
It’s Ace Of Base Life Is A Flower
-
An underrated band here in North America one critic in Toronto called then a poor man's Abba!, which I thought was rather cruel!
-
A unique singer and I can’t think of many melodies as beautiful, made for being outside relaxing, gardening or pondering , glass or bottle wine is optional
-
A melodically beautiful song that is perfect anytime anywhere for any reason!
-
Well surely to brighten up anyone’s day it’s the Beatles and the song that makes me sing out loud as it stays in my mind for the rest of the day
Can’t get over how adorable Ringo was
The Beatles, Hey Jude
-
A true classic that is so easy to pervert!
-
I love the Beatles and it's not that I would say I hate this song, but if I was given a list of songs by the Beatles to rate and this was on it, it would be towards the bottom of the list. Has just never been a hugely appealing song to me. Was like McCartney & Lennon were writing a song and all of a sudden couldn't think of any more words so Paul just said,"Hey, let's just repeat the title 500 freaking times and stick in a bunch of la la las!" And John just said, "Sounds good to me, mate! I'm tired and it's time for tea!" But that is just my Canadian two-bits! :emot_rotf.gif:
I can't deny it IS a very catchy tune and everytime I hear it on the radio I always catch myself singing along. ;D
-
Always reminds me of this (https://laughingsquid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/hey-jude-flow-chart.png) when I hear it.

Think you’re right. McCartney didn’t like it.
Best of the Beatles would be in my opinion A Day In The Life

Oh Jessica! You truly did climb inside my head! 'A Day In The Life' is one of my ALL-time favorite classics of the Beatles as well! "Strawberry Fields' is another big fave.

One band that I loved growing up and still do are Nirvana, the whole songs over the years have spoken to me and Kurt was really just a genius.
My first time seeing Nirvana was when I was 5 and my sister was 9 and Dad would put on Top Of The Pops
It was his famous Smells Like Teen Spirit, but unknown to us Kurt was messing up the song over being told to mime it
My dad laughed and said who the hell is this
I actually liked this then
This one is one of my favorites and in my school years I’d just purchased the CD of the best of Nirvana which was simply just a black album called Nirvana. I was 16
It was actually the first time I heard this one and I played it on my disc-man non stop on the bus to school.
Nirvana Where Did You Sleep Last Night
-
Never was able to get into Nirvana or the grunge genre for that matter
-
During the recording of their album 'In Utero', some suit from the record company told them he didn't like the songs and insisted they start over. Of course, being a knee-jerk record company exec, he just wanted another 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' and Kurt had flat out told them that wasn't going to happen, he wasn't going to just do a a carbon copy of 'Nevermind'. Kurt told the record company if they didn't like 'In Utero', he'd burn the master tapes and screw 'em! The record company backed down and left them alone after that.
-
This is one of my brothers favorite songs.
It is so catchy and just reminds me of happiness long ago.
As he played it in his car. He is sick at the moment and while i think he’ll be ok
I just want to play it for him. Even here in this darkness!!
Journey- Anyway You Want It
-
Another song I grew up to was this one. At a young age I thought this man had such a lovely voice and I still do.
Shame he was taken just as he was coming back and I’ll make it a double
Sorry Cyndi I love you but this version was better
First Roy Orbison- You Got It
Next Roy Orbison- I Drove All Night
-
I love Roy Orbison. He had such a unique voice. And it's SO weird that you should post 'You Got It'! I JUST listened to this song two nights ago on Youtube, thinking to myself, "I haven't heard that song in a long time!" And now here it is again! LOL!
-
Three fantastic songs from my late teens to mid twenties. And is it just me or would "Any Way You Want It "make a great title for an anthology of stories here!
-
This is one of my favs not just the 80s but all time.
She had style, class and sophistication. No prancing about half naked, just singing with real beauty.
It’s Kim Wilde and Kids In America
-
I agree with most points she has class, style and sophistication Is a real beauty and a fantastic singer but I want her to prance about more than half naked like she does in my dreams! November 28, 198 at 7:36 PM was my first introduction to Miss Wilde and she captured my heart immediately!
-
A Band that are slightly forgotten but in the mid 90s they were huge here in the UK
The M People. Heather Small had a deep husky and truly outstanding voice.
This is a song that lifts me all the time and during my dad’s defeat from cancer it really spurred me on in life as it was one of the last modern songs he loved
So as we know there is a few of my author friends here suffering a bit right now with bad news, bad memories and depression so this is for them it’s
The M People- Search For The Hero
-
Thank you for the introduction to M People. Love the message in the lyrics of the chorus. Very powerful!
-
As someone who is one of your author friends suffering I want to thank you for this. I had not heard this before but it made me smile and for awhile the world wasn't so bad. Once again you prove that music can heal and I thank you for it.
-
No problem and glad to share it a big hit here In England but don’t think it traveled far
The words are poignant and raising.
Next one is a track I’ve heard at every family event. Every “knees up” as we say here.
The ever catchy and toe tapping Communards and Sarah Jane Morris “Don’t Leave Me This Way”
I don’t know if it was a big hit anywhere else but it was huge in England.
A great jukebox, wedding dancing song.
-
They never made out of small status here in Toronto and vicinity this was their only hit on the Chum Chart in Toronto!
-
Beautiful Song always gets me.
Going Back by Dusty Springfield
-
beautiful song with a great message that should be heard in today's times of need!
-
Keep loading this one on the jukebox in the bar
Love it so much and one of Dad’s favorites
So you know it’s an oldie
The Hollies, The Air That I Breath
-
Damn that was a blast from the past that was needed to hear. Love the comment about how the singer/songwriters of the 60's/70's were far superior to today's modern musicians! I agree with that comment!
-
This is one from my early childhood.
Probably the first thing on Tv that gave me nightmares
That witch is bloody freaky even today!!
It’s Shakespeare Sister and Stay (1992)
-
Another one hit wonder over here in Canada! pity because they actually had talent compared to other acts!
-
A bit late but only fitting for the event.
UB40 made this for the English Rugby team in 2003 after their triumph in the World Cup
Come On The Lions!!!
UB40 Swing Slow, Sweet Chariot (2003)
-
Blocked to Canadian Viewers!
-
Just heard this on the radio and forgot all about the Power of Annie Lennox
Eurythmics- Must Be An Angel
-
The music of my twenties, remember it more than the things I was doing back then! This was the song that was playing when Tammy first asked me out! Thank you for the memories that the song does bring back!
-
It’s a pleasure to bring a lovely memory like that back for you.
Actually reminds me of my sister in a good way which is rare lol
-
Love this! Very hard lyrics that could belong on a real life story here
It’s heart wrenching actually but very hard hitting and original.
Suzanne Vega- Luka
-
This song never really did anything for me. Huge for my sister Joclyn, one of the reasons she became a family /Women Lawyer!
-
Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart were musical geniuses. I really loved their music in the '80s and this particular song was one of my favorites.
-
Though I find Led Zeppelin slightly overrated (don’t kill me)
This is one I loved listening to in my college years.
Very progressive and just an orgasm for the ears
It’s Kashmir
-
According to Zeppelin themselves, Kashmir is the pinnacle of their music. I would agree. It's damn amazing.
-
Zeppelin is one of those bands that you either love or despise. For me it's Kashmir and Stairway To Heaven and that's it. I perfer the cover by Bond without the whiny vocals by Plant!
-
LOL how ironic. I am a huge Led Zeppelin fan, but I won’t dispute that some of their music is hugely overrated. It’s not all as good as so many people make it out to be. That being said, ONE of their songs I DON’T like is Kashmir! The song has just never appealed to me and I find that Plant’s voice just seems to drone through it. I’ve never considered it to be one of their better songs yet so many people love it. Oh well, it’s a matter of tastes. Another song of theirs they should have never recorded is D’yer Maker. Hard to believe the same guys who wrote Stairway to Heaven also wrote that one!
-
In the Uk it’s Remembrance Sunday.
This is song that is more Irish/Scottish but they fought in the same bloody war and we are all comrades really
My dad discovered this band of a friend back in the 80’s and my mum still has this very record at home.
There are many versions but this one has captures the right emotions and fills my eyes every time I hear it.
RIP all our are fallen hero’s.
It’s The Men They Couldn’t Hang and the Green Fields Of France The content speaks for itself.
-
What a great version of the song. I've never heard it or of the band before but i'll remedy that today. Already sent the link to the Canadian Veteran council suggesting they add the song to the Remembrance Day Celebrations. That song truly represents the total allied efforts in the Big One!
That you for presenting this song, worth a merit!
-
That is a very cool song. I've never heard it before, but it certainly brings a tear to the eye, thinking about the sacrifice of our soldiers in the Great War. Thank you for sharing, Jess.
-
It is very tearful and I’ll admit I can play it without a little weep.
It’s the part where it says “a whole generation who were butchered and damned”
Ok keeping Scots at the forefront this is one of my hidden gems.
It’s a song by a band called Deacon Blue, who didn’t travel very far
But this song is very powerful, and I always play it if I’m feeling bad about myself. Not it mention the sea theme.
Saw them live in 2011 In Greenock for the Tall Ships Festival and they played this, very fitting for then and to everyone who feels a bit down this is for you
It’s Deacon Blue Dignity
-
Never heard of the song nor the band and that's a great pity since they both were great, The type of song school guidance councilors should play in their offices! merit will becoming when I can!
-
Yes, never heard of them, but quite liked the song.
-
They didn’t travel far but a shame as they are very talented.
Ok I’m in that mood now, for something a bit mainstream and classic.
Love this song! Have a great weekend peeps xxx
Jimi Hendrix Hey Joe
-
Never denied that Hendrix was talented but never cared for his stuff at all!
-
Oh sorry.......
-
Years ago when I bought an album called The Very Best of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, I heard this song for the very first time and immediately fell in love with it.
-
I think it’s his best Vile8r! People say Purple Haze, or All Along The Watchtower, but this is the one for me!
So keeping Christmas going, going to put up a tune that I love and wouldn’t be Christmas without even though it’s sad as it’s an anti war song. It’s dreary and not everyone’s cup of tea but makes me reflect on those who don’t have it east this time of the year for whatever reason. I’ve spent one Christmas away from home and it was hard so I can imagine how hard it can be for many.
It’s John Lennon and Yoko Ono
Happy Xmas
-
Out side of "Imagine" His most famous solo work protesting the Vietnam war!
-
My contribution—an alternative Christmas tune for those of us who like it a little heavy and have a twisted sense of humor :)
-
I actually liked it, had a skinhead British vibe to it!
Thanks for sharing xx
-
Happy New Years folks! What else to play but these
New Years Day by U2
Happy New Year by ABBA
All the best for 2020
Jess xxx
-
The two most known songs about New years!
Commented In Describe It with a song title that ABBA was the only thing that needed to be blasted off a balcony at midnight!
Merit for posting such relevant music on the day!
-
I agree with Graham! Good post Jessica!
-
Really fallen in love with the Script an Irish band but probably bigger here In the UK than in Ireland.
Just love the words, the video and it’s everything that spells just a song about being in love.
Just summing up my life right now......enjoy!
The Script Millionaires
-
You most certainly have some good taste in music.
-
My taste is mixed lol.
Music is more than just music to me it’s where my emotions lie and I map my life out with songs that have touched me.
Right now this next one is very important to me. Back In 2009 I was in dark place. A year had passed since my rape and I was just miserable and desperate. I had no value and why I kept a brave face to my family and friends. I was very low.
I was sleeping around, taking drugs and losing all interest in being me.
Then my friends and I went to this festival, The V Festival, up the country I was really only there for the drink, drugs and maybe a another bloke to tangle up with. All these things were achieved. However there was this song and I’ll play it now
It touched me like nothing else, and when I sang with the crowd I felt tears come down as it was just so emotional but it also gave me a message. To get better later on that festival in a tent I revealed what had happened to me the year before to a close friend and she was the first person I told It was hard but it was a start on the right track. This is my survivor anthem from all badness and I play it once everyday. Usually in the mornings. To most people it’s another British band with another catchy rhythm. To me it’s a savior. I changed a lot after this performance and today on YouTube I played it again and again.
Now it’s time to share with you guys
It’s Elbow One Day Like This and you don’t have to like it but just know it’s my special song and always will be.
For the Canadians If this works not the concert I was at but you should get the magic
This was at Glastonbury 2011
This is the studio version
Enjoy xx
-
That is a great slice of life story, Jessica. How you hung on and climbed out of it is admirable . Good song too. I think music speaks to us in many ways, and we always remember those songs that took us through a dark place as you so well explained.
-
Love the Script- super underrated over here!
Elbow- live was blocked to Canadian viewers but got to hear the studio version. A great song that makes it easy to see why it's so special to you.
Great presentations Jessica
-
This is one I haven’t heard in awhile and loved it when it was out.
I thought it was cool back in my school days.
Underrated band, had moderate success here in the UK.
It’s The Dandy Warhols
-
I've seen them live at the Guvernment Club here in Toronto-always thought they were American!- know whose music I'll be on the lookout for from now on! Just in case you post a story today I'll hold off giving a merit for now!
-
Very jealous Graham! Liked them
Ok this is for you Vile8r and you only.
SimpleMinds Belfast Child 1989

Its a good video Vile8r, really captures the loss of innocence practically living in a war zone
Ok I have posted Soundgarden before but I bloody love them. Taken too soon. One of rocks most prolific and powerful voices. Not to mention hot as hell! RIP Chris Cornell will be 3 years this year
It’s Soundgarden Burden In My Hand
-

I bloody love Soundgarden too! LOL. I have been a fan of them since probably about 1989. When their album Louder Than Love came out. I just thought that was the coolest name for a band and when I heard Chris Cornell sing I knew, this guy is destined for greatness!
-
Chris Cornell was hot stuff and an exceptional singer. Taken way too soon.
Ok next one is close to the heart. Another talented singer taken from us.
It’s Dolores O Riordian from Ireland and her band the Cranberries
This is just so emotive and makes me all nostalgic. Didn’t really remember it coming out but definitely one I’ve played over the years. A background track to my life.
It’s The Cranberries and Linger.
-
Much like all songs that make it big it was overplayed to death that only now one can truly see the beauty and hidden message in the song! Great choice Jessica!
-
Back in the '90s, I really wasn't a Cranberries fan, and a lot was attributed to like what Graham said, because they were so overplayed on the radio. But now 20 years later I have a lot more appreciation for them.
-
Liked some but not all Of their work.
Another Irish band that really only had one hit over here I’m told Is the Adventures
It’s so beautiful, powerful, poetic and poignant
I feel this is a very underrated band.
It’s The Adventures and Broken Land 1988
-
I kind of vaguely remember these guys in the 80s, but not that well. Still though, a great song!
-
Can't say that i remember them, damn sure that MuchMusic didn't play them! Really nice song that makes me want to search for more of them!
-
One of my all favs from a man who came from up the road in a place called Dartford not too far from where I was born
How can not anyone see that David Bowie was the most beautiful person in the world or it might just be me.
I didn’t understand this song when I used to listen to it as a teenager but now I do and having gone down a slippery slope with drugs in the past and self pity this song really speaks to me as it was a song reflecting his own demons and drug abuse
It’s David Bowie Ashes To Ashes
-
Another artists who depending when your first experienced him was a love him or forget him. Most never knew what an all around performer David was!
-
Back in 1980, when this first came out, I didn't even really know who the hell David Bowie was. I thought "Oh it's another one of these new wave guys coming out." I saw the video for Ashes to Ashes and concluded he was a bit of a weirdo. Then I heard Space Oddity on the radio and when I found out it was an older song and realized David Bowie had been around for a long time, I had a whole new perspective. My friend's older brother let us listen to his album of Ziggy Stardust and it blew us away. After that I loved David Bowie and had a new appreciation for his music. Over the years I have come to learn what a talented artist he really was. This was a perfect choice of a song from him, Jess, as it brings back memories of when I was a teenager too and just learning who David Bowie was.
-
It’s a great one Vile8r and I just wish the ending was longer but I found this
I forget those in North America probably didn’t get the same exposure as he had here one of the greats and was so sad he passed away in that legends cull of 2016
This is an 80s Classic here for anyone in that mood. Love the video, not into anything else they done
But this a good one
It’s Level42 and Something About You
-
I LOVED Something About You from Level 42. Thank you for the memories, Jess!
And that extended version of Ashes To Ashes - also very awesome! Great post.
-
Nothing like even more Bowie to listen to!
Level 42 's best song next to "Lessons In Love" brings back good memories from my youth! 80's had some of the best music ever!
-
Heard this on the radio this morning and forgot all about it
Another song from my childhood and certainly a lockdown anthem in its own right
It’s John Secada and Just Another Day
-
Haven't heard that once in such a long time! one of his better songs and does have a great bearing in today's climate! Merit for posting it!
-
Going back to 1998 and I was 12 and this was a huge hit here in the UK
Cher was just in her own class with her powerful power ballad songs
This had more of a dance vibe but still a decent track
It is Cher Do You Believe.
-
This was the song that help re-establish Cher as a power in the music industry. For me I prefer her early solo songs but can appreciate what this song did for her career!
-
The next one is back to Ireland, and it’s a song I’ve only recently embraced.
A band called Aslan only knew one of their tracks but they seem to be known as local legends from Dublin and have a U2 vibe to them
It’s Aslan and This Is
-
In Ireland they are super well known, unfortunately over here in Toronto they are a club band who rarely gets any any airplay on the radio. Pity because they are quite good!
-
I forgot all about this song.
Love the movie and haven’t seen it since I was a young girl as my sister put in on repeat
It’s a song that one day we can all play as we finally see the end of the madness in our world
Robbi Robb- In Time
-
I hope that the lyrics actually come true one day But i for one don't see it anytime soon! Great presentation Jessica Merit given freely
-
Hi All it’s been awhile.
Back to the 80’s and haven’t heard this in so long but it was on Capital Gold on my way to work.
Such a good feel to this tune
It’s Level 42 and Lessons In Love
-
Definitely loved them - not all but this was one of their greatest
-
A pure classic the eighties that not a single gold station or 80's station hasn't overplayed just like when it first premiered on Radio worldwide! Merit awarded once more
-
I’ll be short and sweet with this one
Kind of know the tune and it’s catchy but how have I not see this video before?.
Bringing back memories of the MayDay Festival which is a great day out.
Men Without Hats Safety Dance
-

Men Without Hats Safety Dance
Some fine Canadian techno-pop! These guys were out of Montreal originally, but since the group re-formed in 2010, are now based out of Vancouver. Always liked the video for this song. Brings back many memories of my teenage days. Thank you Jess!
-

There second best song in my opinion ("Pops Goes The World" is their best to me) Remember lusting after the girl in the video. Never really liked the song when it first was forced down our throats but have to say now it's growing on me! Will add a merit when allowed!
-
As today is Halloween....I present a great song from the 80s...the Theme to the movie The Lost Boys, entitled “Cry Little Sister”
Cry Little Sister (https://youtu.be/mrMLMV6E4CM)
Additionally, the singer Marilyn Manson recently covered this song, and it is to appear on the movie The New Mutants—
Cry Little Sister (Marilyn Manson cover) (https://youtu.be/BG5sFUROGX0)
-
Oh that was a great tune and never heard the Manson one thank you for sharing.
Really should have posted for yesterday but my favorite Halloween songs
Is quite obvious
From one of my favorite films of all time one I watch every year and it’s sequel isn’t bad
Let’s not mention the 2016 version please
It’s Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Jr
-
Well you had to prove your lack of taste soon and this one screams lack of taste! Will merit you when possible even though this one bites!
-
I don’t know about the UK, obviously, but this is certainly true here in the U.S.

Sorry Graham I do like the Ghostbusters as long as we can agree the 2016 movie was at awful I’ll let you pass on your dislike for it lol
Not yet Ghost at this stage we’ll be happy to be able put up lights for Chrimbo
But to get everyone in the mood.
My fave Christmas song by Chris De Burgh
Spaceman Came Traveling
-
Sorry Graham I do like the Ghostbusters as long as we can agree the 2016 movie was at awful I’ll let you pass on your dislike for it lol
2016 Movie wasn't awful! it was an abomination that should have stayed in the cutting room garbage basket! please stop trying to give it a better rating than it deserves! ;)
once more this proves that you are a woman! Very few guys will like a Christmas song! i mean can we have Guy Fawkes Day, American Thnksgiving, me back on my feet properly before we play that crap please!
P.S.
In case you haven' figured it out- BAH HUMBUG!
-
Bah Humbug then enjoy the snow lol!
Right so I’ll make this one short. It’s a remake of a classic by Candi Staton
“You got the Love” powerful with a good uplifting beat
I’m putting this out there for survivors.
Of a horrific experience, of grief, of an illness, of an accident, of lockdowns even of one night without booze! If you are a survivor this song Is for you. Brought me hope when there was little enjoy xxxx

-
Ok, so it’s not actually music, BUT...
Jess my darling, this video popped up on my Facebook feed titled “The Most British Argument Ever”, and, well...I just had to share it because I’m now kinda sorta picturing you this way :emot_rotf.gif:
The Most British Argument Ever (https://youtu.be/u0Z7EPh8oLU)
-
CLUNKER! :emot_rotf.gif:
-
Lol thank you Ghost. Yes that’s a typical argument and the word is Plonker!
Gordon could shout at me all day though.....
-
This one bring me back and a feature on British Radio for many years always reminds me of I getting ready for school for some reason on a cold winters morning.
Or the fact my parents played it to death in the car on cassette
This song has actually inspired my writing in some places
Wasn’t into Mike Oldfield but this was a belter and a pretty song.
It’s Mike Oldfield and Moonlight Shadow
-
Original uploader hasn't made it available to Canada, of course that doesn't stop me! A great song of all time that brings back many good memories of the 80's. merit shall be awarded for bringing the memories back!

I’ll see if this works for you Vile8r

HAPPY THANKSGIVING
To my American cousins across the pond, you need some love and it’s been a turbulent year for you with everything else on top of the pandemic
So I hope you enjoy your turkey dinner this year.
Being a lover of all things American as a child/teenager will put out some favorites from the States I’ve loved over the years
Singing into my hairbrush for you guys Xxxxx
Pink Don’t Let Me Get Me
An anthem of my teenage years
Debbie Harry I Want That Man
A Jukebox classic to dance around hand bags on the floor. Which I’ve done many a ladies night out!
Loved Debbie Harry she is an underrated icon.
Jane Wiedlin Rush Hour
Makes me think of America and bubblegum cheesy 80’s pop at its best
Madonna Dear Jessie
Of course this needs no introduction to why I loved this song as a young girl from the Queen Of Pop and still do
And of Course no American Toast would complete without the King
Elvis Presley Can’t Help Falling In Love
Enjoy xx
-
Well, Jessica, I'm Canadian as you know, so not celebrating Thanksgiving. But LOVE your musical selections!
Don't Let Me Get Me is like one of my top five fave Pink songs! I just love the video!
Debbie Harry, well always had a big hard-on for her! LOL! Beautiful woman, AND a great voice!
Jane Weidlin, wow! Haven't heard her in years and I always liked Rush Hour. She was such a cutie.
Madonna, always a fan of hers too, although Dear Jessie I will admit is a song I'm not too familiar with. But I liked it.
And then Elvis! Yes! And you just happened to pick one of my favoritest Elvis songs. It's beautiful.
-
I’ll see if this works for you Vile8r
I remember this song! At first I was racking my brain, because I knew the title sounded familiar but I was having a hard time to recall the actual song. Yes this was an excellent track from Mike Oldfield. Another song by him that I always really liked was Family Man from his 1982 album, Five Miles Out.
-
Pink- a staple of north American radio and a main stay of my CD collection!
Debbie Harry- cared more for "Blondie" than her own career, the best female singer of the entire late seventies to today that barely ever received
recognition!
Jane Weidlin- never got the respect that she deserved as a solo artists or a member of the Go-Go's
Madonna- can't say I heard of the tune- not one of her North American famous tunes. Could also be that Madonna is overated!
Elvis- a classic that should never be sang by others in my honest opinion
overall a perfect collection but it does nothing to get that image out of my head of you singing into your hairbrush. That has triggered something perverted (in me no way!)that just just dying to come out!
Great selections for anytime of year that will earn you a merit when I'm able to award one.
-
Thank you for my hairbrush story! I can no longer sing into a hairbrush anymore without thinking of your story lol!
Glad you all liked the music even though it was Canadians who commented and not the Americans
I love you guys so it’s all cool. Debbie Harry is certainly a heroine of mine.
Madonna I’m not really a huge fan of Madonna but obviously I liked that song as young girl it was like a Disney movie
Right this one is from a band I only started to appreciate in my late teenage years
It’s Pearl Jam and Alive. Just really hits me in a nostalgic mood.
-
I would say I'm sorry but tis the season not to tell lies and I for one might just be a good boy for a while- catch me after the new years to see it that remains!
Sorry never have seen what the big deal was with Pearl Jam/ Sure they can play and sing but they never did anything for me so far! Still earns you a merit
-
It's late for thanksgiving, but you music choice was so good. Pink I only got into recently, while Debbie Harry as Vile said was always a teenager's fantasy and a great muso. Early Madonna was revolutionary as an 18 year old boy - bra visible on the outside of clothes??? and then Elvis... Hmmmm
-
Don’t know why but drinking a glass of wine, an open fire and having the chats with my mum makes me want to play the Supremes
Loved her look and just the look of the time
The Supremes Where Did Your Love Go
Also an honorable mention and my Mums favorite version
Soft Cell and the very electric and glamour Where Did Our Love Go (1981)
-
Ah back when music talent had to sing to earn a hit! A fun time growing up until we get this synth pop trash that the singer should be publicly flogged with the power cord for destroying a classic of Motown!
-
I am going to disagree with CHG, as I LOVE Pearl Jam! Well, early Pearl Jam anyway. After about their fourth album, I began to lose interest in them, but they are still on my bucket list to see in concert someday. AND Eddie Vedder and I share a birthday! ;D
But I WILL agree with him on Soft Cell, LOL, they do sort of murder the Supremes. But the original Supremes, oh yes! Can't go wrong with those girls. And the HAIR! emot_omfg.gif
-
Pearl Jam Rock!!
Right been off the grid lately but will return with some music.
Love this one by the Pointer Sisters.
They used to play it a pub near my college back in the day
Or rather someone used to put it in the Jukebox but got us dancing after certain amounts to drink.
It’s the Pointer Sisters and Automatic

Isn't it amazing that the beginning dance was really just a workout that moved to the music. Not going to lie I though that the lead singer on this was a guy, man someone really needs estrogen shot badly! Always loved that song! Merit awarded for posting this!

Wow! There's a song from the past!

I didn’t really discover Crowded House until I was older. I knew Weather With You but that was it
Later on well into my 20s a boyfriend actually had this on CD in his car and I really liked it and I happen to know someone here who will see this who loves this song. Let’s just say this is for you, and I enjoy the song as much as you do
It’s Crowded House and “Fall At Your Feet”

When that first came out here in Ontario the big comment was "Doesn't the southern hemisphere have any excitement in presentation?" But there is no denying that in this case simplicity is best. A great song that speaks to the heart, the kind of music we need today! merit when the site allows!

As today is Memorial Day in the U.S., a day to honor and remember those who went overseas to war and never came home…an appropriate and deep song about not only the cost, but those who did come home and remember our fallen. And for my brothers and sisters whose names I shall never forget…
Until Valhalla.

Now ladies and gentleman one of my favorite songs of all time.
It’s no secret I love Queen. Love Freddie Mercury and we’ll never see another like him.
I like Bohemian Rhapsody ( the song, don’t get me started on that “biopic”)
But I feel it’s overplayed over the years, and I don’t really listen to it much as some Queen fans do.
This is my favorite by Queen it’s Innuendo and what a belter. It’s dark, poignant, theatrical, and has an insane flamenco guitar session in the middle.
It was one of the last tracks by Queen with Freddie, and it’s darkness covers what the band themselves felt and the questions we ask against the inevitable
Enjoy xxx

For me Queen was a band who transcended the idea of placing then in a category. They had the ability to play any kind of music in their songs. At no time did they ever beat the listener over the head about what they were going to hear. i can' believe that people who listened to the music didn't checked out more of the various styles they heard thanks to the invention of the internet! merit four I'll pass along when possible!

That is a good one, Jessica. Nice pick.
