A sense of longing?

Does anyone else here miss the eighties? You know, except for the hair and the clothes. Some of the music was pretty ok don’t you think? Sure most of the bands of the eighties didn’t make it past one or two albums and you would be hard pressed to find any of them today but still it was alright, wasn’t it? So what if Boy George is picking up garbage, I mean everyone has a bad day sometimes!

And who can forget Men At Work, oh yes so most of the world has, well I haven’t! Who else, oh yeah, what about Rockwell? Now he was a hoot. Spandau Ballet made me want to slow dance with my broom. The Thompson Twins set the standard for hair doos for the longest time.

Sure INXS tried to make a comeback but without Michael it just wasn’t the same. That and they made themselves into a freakshow by having that stupid reality show to find a new lead singer.

Think, think, oh Big Country, now there was a hit machine. Dexy’s Midnight Runners with their somewhat nasty “Come on Eileen”, wow what a song that was! Frankie Goes to Hollywood, nah they sucked. How about Berlin, mmm that sultry “Take My Breath Away” rowr. The Pet Shop Boys, whoa baby they rocked the house. Wham/George Michael, well what can you say about them and still keep your sense of pride?

Yeah thats has my sarcasm level up pretty high. I think I will go talk to the president now!
