Alex-Dukes Posted December 28, 2011 Report Posted December 28, 2011 Sorry, Hoss. I did not know. Thank you. Quote
HossC Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Posted December 28, 2011 Sorry, Hoss. I did not know.No worries Alex - we've all done it . Quote
HossC Posted December 30, 2011 Author Report Posted December 30, 2011 I've certainly got no problem going with the B-52's. Sorry, the video is only a still image with out-of-sync lyrics, but it was the only studio version I could find on YouTube. You can still enjoy the tune . Quote
HossC Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Posted December 31, 2011 With the dawning of 2012 upon us there was one song that sprang to my mind (well two actually, but is three words long, so I couldn't use it in this thread ). From 37 years ago: This song spent three weeks at the #1 spot in the UK charts in, you guessed it, February 1975!. Quote
HossC Posted January 2, 2012 Author Report Posted January 2, 2012 Another Pilot song from the '70s: The song appeared on the soundtrack of 'Happy Gilmore' and 'Herbie: Fully Loaded'. In 2009 it was covered by Selena Gomez and sampled heavily in the track 'Magic' by Flo Rida. Quote
Garrett Duke Posted January 3, 2012 Report Posted January 3, 2012 I apologize if I used this one already...love this song. Or any other Kenny Chesney song. Quote
HossC Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Posted January 3, 2012 I can't believe I haven't posted this before:Cars - Gary NumanThis track seems to make its way onto '80s compilations despite coming out in 1979. I was too young then, but did eventually see Gary Numan play live in the mid '90s. The distinctive opening has been sampled many times, in songs like (which also fits this thread ). Quote
Garrett Duke Posted January 8, 2012 Report Posted January 8, 2012 Another song off of their first album...sung by the youngest member Joe McIntyre - the video is performed after they reunited so Joe is older than 13. HA HA. As I said, brings back memories- probably listened to that album a hundred times or something like that. I apologize for all the NKOTB music, just been in the mood the last couple of days for NKOTB music so that is what comes to mind I guess. Please don't kill me for it. Besides, I can't help that I have great taste in music, right Hoss? Quote
HossC Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Posted January 8, 2012 Sam has sung backing vocals for artists like Small Faces, Spandau Ballet and Pink Floyd, but this was her most successful solo single. Quote
HossC Posted January 13, 2012 Author Report Posted January 13, 2012 Here's a great chill-out tune accompanied by some beautiful images from nature. Quote
Garrett Duke Posted January 15, 2012 Report Posted January 15, 2012 "Choices" George JonesLove this song... Quote
HossC Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Posted January 15, 2012 This track samples the Bill Withers track 'I Can't Write Left-Handed' that I've just posted in Musical Chairs.Demons - Fatboy Slim feat. Macy Gray Quote
HossC Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Posted January 24, 2012 From their seventh studio album 'Savage':Shame -EurythmicsApparently this album didn't do too well in the US, and although this song was the second single in the UK, it was never released as a single in the US - shame!. - Oingo BoingoI guess the UK/US thing works both ways. I don't think Oingo Boingo had much or even any chart success in the UK. I'm familiar with their theme for Weird Science (although I didn't know who it was by), and Danny Elfman's later work, but that's about it.There's something about the backing of this track that really reminds me of the intro to . That's Stress the UK neo-psychedelic rock band (Wikipedia's description) from the late '80s/early '90s, and not to be confused with other bands of the same name. Despite supporting Lenny Kravitz on tour they never had great success and only released one album. Quote

HossC Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Posted January 26, 2012 Here's one from an Irish band - I don't how well known they are in others parts of the world. Quote
Garrett Duke Posted January 29, 2012 Report Posted January 29, 2012 This is an awesome song by my favorite Christian band...Mercy Me! Quote
HossC Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Posted January 30, 2012 I mentioned this song a few months back because it was part of a great AV mashup. Here's the whole song: As well as winning a Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording it has appeared in a commercial for Budweiser Select and NBC's Sunday Night Football. Quote
