I agree. "Thriller" was one of the truly great albums of the 1980's. Ten songs, SEVEN of them went top ten.

GPK 01-01-2007 08:49 PM

WAIT.....WAIT...WAIT....STOP EVERYONE....


"hello.....is it me your looking for??? I can see it in your eyes...I can see it in your smile..."

I concur on Tainted Love.. Still a favorite..

Of Knopfler's songs on 'Sultans of Swing' I think there are several I prefer to Money for Nothing.. including Sultans itself. But Walk of Life and So Far Away are better IMO... Knopfler and Emmylou Harris (whom I adore) have a TERRIFIC new album out together.

More memorables:

Eurythmics: Most of their 80's catalog

Elvis Costello: Veronica.. Everyday I Write the Book..

Joe Jackson: Look Sharp (album)

AND...

New Order: Bizarre Love Triangle

if you guys are going to talk dire straits...you cannot leave off 'romeo and juliet'...although I think the Indigo girls did it better in the 90's

I think he was really abusive to her in that song. Singing, "Hello, is it me you're looking for" to a blind girl.

saucon17 01-01-2007 08:55 PM

I can be nobody said

"Summer Of 69" Bryan Adams

"Something About You" Level 42

GenuineRisk 01-01-2007 08:56 PM

XTC's "Skylarking" was also a great album of the 1980s.

Though of course, no band could ever be greater than that Supergroup of 1982-1984, Asia.

it was the second concert I ever saw.

'80s, Kev. '80s. Understandable error though, I know you're aching to put your disco shoes back on and all.

Best concert I've seen was R Kelly at NJPAC last year. Unreal. Came on an hour and 45 minutes late with no opening act....But he brought the place down...And then I'm sure he had some underage issues back at the hotel, but he isn't the godfather to my children, I just like his music.
