ArtieRollins Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Thomas Dolby is a great musician and producer but I think he has always been rather underrated when it comes to being an artist and song writer.Screen Kiss is a beautiful yet tragic song that oozes with atmosphere and One of Our Submarines might be one of his finest tunes.Both The Golden Age of Wireless (1982) and The Flat Earth (1984) are pure 80s classics and Thomas deserves more credit than just being labeled as yet another forgotten "one-hit-wonder" of the 80s.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIBJw6WrrHk Edited July 1, 2014 by ArtieRollins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators James Posted July 4, 2014 Administrators Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) Don't think I've posted any Stray Cats here before, but they're my favourite band from the 80s. I absolutely LOVE Rockabilly music. Their cover of Buddy Holly's "I'm Looking For Someone to Love", featured on the episode 'Love At First Sight'.

ArtieRollins Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 The beautiful and talented Suzanne Vega.Shame that all the norwegian radio stations for the last 27 years seems to think she's only written one song, Luka and ignores the rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry B. Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) Great choices guys. I would add one on my favorite songs *ever*. Mr Mister's "Stand And Deliver", form Go On..., 1988. The song was written for Tina Turner by masters of songwriting Richard Page, Steve George and John Lang. It was used for the movie with the same title featuring Eddie Olmos and Lou Diamond Phillips (who also performed on MV). The movie is amazing as the song is. Strongly recommended.And if you never heard the album, go get it. Don't even think about it. Enjoy Edited July 9, 2014 by Jerry B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny-Burnett Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Don Henley from his 1984 album Building the Perfect Beast.

Sonny-Burnett Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Winwood, from his 1988 album Roll with It. One of his best, even if it was used in a beer commercial back in the day . "Don't You Know What The Night Can Do?" Hear the night music playing? Don't you know what it's saying?We should feel it together foreverFeel the beat and just hold on to the sweet midnight flowingFeel the music inside you, I'll be there tooNow's the time that our dreams are finally coming trueFeels so good we're cryingNow's the time when it's down to me and youSpread these wings - we'll be flyingDon't you know what the night can do?Don't you know when it's touching you?Don't you know what the night can do?Time to show all your feeling, all the night is revealingLet the rhythm enfold you, let me hold youAnd we turn into music, now we never will lose itWhen the rhythm and night ride, no heart can hideThere are times that never ever come again, memories there for makingWhen the night comes, we better let it in, all this love for the takingDon't you know what the night can do?Don't you know when it's touching you?Won't you help me to let it through?Don't you know what the night can do? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
