80s ballads
 

I just wanted to remind anyone who opens this thread about 80s ballads, as I still think they are awesome.

Currently listening to Eddie Money.



What's your favorite 80s song?

Jim - vid not avilable in my country :(

Kyrie - Mr Mister.
I can admit I still love this...

..can't I?
The key change. It's always the key change. Or the bridge.

Wax - Building a Bridge to your Heart
Ballad? Mebbe not. But pure 80s.

I used to sing along to :
I'll take you any was I can tonight
Come back and satisfy my appetite
You gotta know you mean that much to me
To get you back you know I'll do anything
(HORN!)

I was a virginal 15yo but I knew exactly what was meant and I craved it...

Cheesy, but cool as hell. I could do without Springsteen, but that's just me.

Ewwwwwwwwwwww.
Sorry, Shaw. It makes my teeths hurt.

In return, the one below makes the hairs on my arms stand up.
No really - it's on Christmas compilations (profits still going to charity) and it stops me still every time. Some things we never grow out of...?

I accept it might have the same effect on you as yours does on me.
Especially as you won't recognise many of the peeps (as I didn't in yours).
But then my neice & nephew would be hard pushed to name more than one in either :)
Philistines

I could amuse you by trying to name them (We Are The World I mean)...
Having watching it three times I've realised I might be able to put MORE names to it than I can to Do They Know It's Christmas... but in Bob Geldof's defence he simply sent out a call to whoever was available that Sunday.
It's possible even he didn't know some of the people who turned up :)

Really Sundae? I love We are the World....awesome song. Especially the chorus by MJ.....Lionel, Stevie Wonder, Steve Perry, Bob Dylan, Ray Charles?

Maybe it's cause its all Americans, but all American music legends :)

I loves me a metal ballad.

I adored Do They Know It's Christmas, despised We are the World for it's band-wagonness (and it was an insipid song).

I watched the documentary that ran on MTV over and over, could not afford the VHS at the time. My sister had the LP.

I used to be able to name everyone on it, can't any longer. Getting older, you know.

I like those 80's songs SG. I love the rock and metal ballads the best.

I almost posted ,'Mama I'm Coming Home', or No More Tears, Or 'Changes' but decided on this one.

I love Ozzy, Lita Ford is awesome too.

OK here's my attempt at Band Aid after one viewing, in order:

Paul young
Boy George
Phil Collins
George michael
Simonle Bon
Sting
Brian Ferry
Bono
Paul Weller
John moss
?the rest of Duran Duran
? & ? two blond blokes
Midge Ure
Bananarama
Pepsi and Shirley
Sir Bob
Gary thingy from Spandau Ballet
Rick Parfitt
Marylin

howzat?

I'm a few years older than you, though...

...to my surprise I did about as well with the knock-off.

No Brian Ferry, according to wiki

I love that one, sky. This is one It reminds me of:

I love Bowie Kerosene. I have that movie. I would love to have the soundtract. Mostly, I would just love to have Bowie.
