80's Top Ten

[TrueFaith77]

(Am I missing something or is "Gypsy", "Edge of Seventeen", "Trouble" and "Holiday Road" missing from a lot of these lists? )

[GarboSpeaks!]

^^I could add plenty of FM/SN hits from this genre, but for me the 80's is the 80's. A lot of the music we are all putting here. Lots of "alternative", synthed music, etc. There was plenty of soul/R&B, and R&R, but for me the 80's are really that 80's sound that our lists mostly comprise.
The fact that the Mac, and it's members were all contributors thru-out the 80's was icing on the cake, but for me, FM is the 70's, and all this stuff is the 80's. But yea, omitting them from my fav list is difficult I especially love Trouble.

What a great decade it was for music!

Indeed it was.

Today marks seven years since Ric left us. Though I have to say that my favorite Cars song is Drive, sung by Benjamin Orr, who also left us, in 2000.

I wish it was still 2009, like this thread.


Seriously, I do.

Why not 2014? Regardless of what might have been going on behind the scene, you know, between those two, we got Christine back.

And although he looked very thin, I was happy to see John recovered enough to go on the road.
