I hope you're kidding...both about her ability to sing and her ability to be awesome about all things.

And we forgot that dean of Blue-Eyed Soul, Daryl Hall. And the little guy with the moustache who stood next to him in the videos.

Come on, everyone. "Private Eyes!" (clap) "Are Watching You!" (clap clap)

Don't think we can. Has to be actually performed by the singers themselves.

Which one is gone? Milli I think. Sad.

GPK 01-01-2007 09:27 PM

Cutting Crew

"Died in your Arms..."

GenuineRisk 01-01-2007 09:27 PM

And how about the old chestnuts that charted again in the 1980s, thanks to being used in movies:

"Twist and Shout" (Ferris Bueller)
"Unchained Melody" (Ghost)

And the Monkees, of course, who had a top 20 with that crappy song "Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere." Not that I went to their reunion concert or anything.

Three times.

Shut up; I thought Peter Tork was cute.

Yeah, him. I thought he looked like a short, brunette, moustached version of the tall guy who stood next to Paul Simon in all those pictures from the 1960's.

Sightseek 01-01-2007 09:32 PM

Here are the results from a Poll that were taken:

I don't think anyone mentioned Madonna, but she pretty much seeps into every decade.

Growing up in a house with a teenage brother and sister in the 80's I heard each song about 10,000 times.

The song that sticks out most to me is.. “Hey Mickey"

randallscott35 01-02-2007 08:40 AM

I'm On Fire, Hungry Heart, Born in the U.S.A could be ones.

They broke up in 1980 and re-united 14 years later.

then i have to go with Henley as a solo and maybe The End Of The Innocence or Heart of the Matter.2 great songs.I don't know what year it was but the first album by the Traveling Wilburys in my mind is a classic.
