Poll question: BEST NUMBER 2 HIT of the EARLY 1980s? (Part 2)

[BigBigBear]

1. Nena !

She rocked my world this way and that.

[shawmut]

2. I voted for Donna Summer

I mean, Laura Brannigan. :)



Good god, what the hell happened to Kool & the Gang between the mid-70's and 80's. It's like hearing two completely different bands ... with the latter one being total crap.

[flamingyouth]

3. Go-Go's!

I loved them in junior high!

[amandabeech]

5. I like to put on the Go-Go's

when I'm feeling really juvenile or when I'm feeling down. Their music was often just a lot of fun.

[sarahbellum]

4. oh no! the decade the music died.

and it's gone downhill ever since.
although that's not fair. music's had its peaks and valleys.

[x-g.o.p.er]

6. Anything from Culture Club

should be disqualified

[liberalhistorian]

9. OMG. more people are

actually voting for that insipid POS We Got the Beat?????? Okay, who are you people, and what planet are you living on????????

I still LOVE Waiting for a Girl Like You, it remains my favorite Foreigner song.

[U of M Dem 07]

11. Can't help but vote for Bob Seger

:)

[amandabeech]

16. I like Bob Seger a lot,

but "Hasten Down the Moon" isn't one of my favorites.

He might tour for the last time this year. Here's hoping.


Amanda-- U of M Dem a long time ago

[NightTrain]

17. THE DISTANCE is a great album!

Particularly after the oh-so-disappointing AGAINST THE WIND. :puke:

[U of M Dem 07]

19. He might be touring?

That would make my year! Is there a website with information on it or anything?

[Kat45]

12. I don't really care for any of those songs.

I hate a few of them, and a few are ok. I guess I'd have to go with Greg Kihn; that song was ok and it had a good video. That Bob Seger title doesn't sound the least bit familiar, but his songs were so ubiquitous on the radio that I can't believe there's one that I don't know. :shrug:

[NightTrain]

15. Ah-ha! Someone else remembers the "Jeopardy" video.

It *was* pretty cool, wasn't it?

[jus_the_facts]

13. We gonna rock down to...ELECTRIC AVENUE...and then we'll take it higha....

....OUT IN THE STREETS....vaaaaaroooooom!!!! :headbang:

[Ricdude]

14. out in the streets...

o/` out in the daytime, in the dark side of town. yeah. o/`

Classic video, stepping off the couch, into the flooded room. Those weird guys on the motorsycles...

[jus_the_facts]

18. There.....there's......a lot o'work to be done....goood gawd.....
