Your best 80s songs

Milli Vanilli- “Baby Don’t Forget My Number”

Def Leppard- “Pour Some Sugar On Me”

Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder- “Ebony And Ivory” Classic duet song.

Nice haven’t you heard about “Milli Vanilli”? They were German/French. Yes or no? Like “Blame It On The Rain” “Girl You Know It’s True and “Baby Don’t Forget My Number? 😀

I’ve never been particularly fond of any of Frank Farian’s productions. He’s the man rsponsible for bands like Boney M, Milli Vanilli etc. In fact he’s also the male vocals on all Boney M records, Bobby Farr who performed in their videos wasn’t. The big scandal was, the two chaps from Milli Vanilli that performed one stage weren’t the two singers that sang the records. When this came out Farian had to hand back his Grammy Award (or something to that effect). Sadly one of the stage performers committed suicide because of all this.
Frank Farian also produced a one-hit-wonder called Far Corporation. Their only hit single was a cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to heaven”. Yes! Someone actually covered “Stairway to heaven” and got away with it. In fact the “…and it makes me wonder” that can be heard in the background is also Farian.

Video featuring Graham Chapman. Maiden meets Monty Python, it doesn’t much better than this!

Hmmm the 80’s
I was a DJ and heard it all. It was all good in the right places. But then I spent most of it drunk as skunk so the memory might not be accurate.
Went to see Carol Decker and T’Pau again the other day. Just as I remembered in my dreams. Yes Carol, Sweet Dreams.

Motorhead – Overkill… Okay it’s ’79 but hey, it still kept the ’80s music scene ‘interesting’.

Milli Vanilli- Blame it on the Rain.

Yes but I prefer Smooth Criminal. To be honest I much prefer the music of the late 50s/60s/70s to alot of what was put out in the 80s.

Hah I see I do like “Bohemian Raphsody” by Queen from the 70s and Elvis Presley- “Suspicious Minds” 70s.

Cool list, don’t you like Michael Jackson Beat It?

Everything is down to the individual taste.

Absolutely true…

Everything is down to the individual taste.How many groups/singers release a greatest hits album but only a few of them actually were hits and good.Interestingly you also have groups such as Pink Floyd who tended to be more album based rather than releasing singles.
Like most groups they had wonderful stuff and some mediocre stuff.
From one extreme to another-how many had Jean Michel Jarre http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HJ2Q8GQwts

I would be interested to know how small a minority I am in of those who found the “Four” far from “Fab” but just a band who wrote a performed a handful of pretty good songs, brilliantly produced, a great many more mediocre songs brilliantly produced, and even more dross.
