A favorite.
heh heh....Gotta love those barely talented Prince proteges from the 80's. Couldn't sing. Or dance.
But, goddammit, they were HOT and they TRIED like hell.

Anyone notice how some of these are applicable to today's goings on?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Tom Cruise with a leather jacket wincing his eyes in front of an American flag with a blonde girl on his shoulder, this is the 80s as far as I'm concerned.
People listened to these songs while getting the job done and making money in the 80s
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

"Centerfold"
Both of those are on my shit-list for the decade ... lordy, I hate 'em.

Both of these are, too.
Funny thing though -- in their guise as the Jefferson Starship, they opened the 80s with a couple of cool songs, "Stranger" and "Find Your Way Back". Odd how they took a colossal shit in only five years ... I hope they got some good scrilla for their souls.
See, I quite like Centrefold and almost anything from Bowie.
I agree with you on the other two.
On my "good" list I will also add:
Bruce Springsteen
Billy Joel
Cyndi Lauper
Dire Straits (until Calling Elvis)
Genesis
And a number of others.
I'll come back to you with a shit list.
They're there, I just try not to remember them...
