Oh, and I forgot a bunch! You've opened floodgate of my guilty pleasure. I apologize in advance for this creme de la crap:

Run Run Away - Slade
The Warrior - Scandal
We Belong - Pat Benatar
Seasons Change - Exposé
We Run - Strange Advance
Mary's Prayer - Danny Wilson
Just the Way It Is - Bruce Hornsby and the Range. Really, his songs are all the same and oddly I feel tender when I hear them. I'm sorry, people.
A Good Heart - Feargal Sharkey
Girl You Know It's True - Milli Vanilli
I Want You Back - Sherry Kean
Say Say Say - Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson
They Don't Know About Us - Tracy Ullman. I just liked the video as a kid when I saw Paul McCartney in the car with her at the end.

2008-05-18T23:06:00.000-07:00

I've got no beef with 80s music, per se but I'll certainly listen to all kinds of assy dreck behind closed doors. For example:

Oh Sheila - Ready for the World
Let's Hear it for the Boy - Deniece Williams
The Rain - Oran "Juice" Jones
all three singles put out by The Jets
Tonight - NKOTB. I'm sorry. It sounds a bit like the Beatles and I like that. I'm sooo sorry!
Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley
I'm Too Sexy - Right Said Fred. Say what you want but if you leave enough time between listenings, it's catchy and fun again.
Automatic - Pointer Sisters. I like that one of them sounds like a dude. It amuses me.
Take Me To The Top - Loverboy
Bye Bye Mon Cowboy - Mitsou. I actually prefer Mademoiselle Anne, but no one's heard of it and in the video she's hot in drag.
Let's Get Physical - Olivia Newton John
Father Figure - George Michael
Stranger Than Paradise - Sass Jordan.

In my CD player right now: Greatest Hits of Rick Springfield, the double album.

I'm mostly a hair metal chick as well.

Echo & The Bunnymen; Lips Like Sugar Kisses (love,love LOVE that song!)
Alison Moyet (anything...she's fab!)
Van Halen's Diver Down Album (Senior Year Memories!)
Blondie, Go-Go's. And, if nobody was around & the windows up, Janet Jackson (Miss Jackson if you're nasty!).
I miss the 80's!

2008-05-16T22:30:00.000-07:00

The Cure...anything and everything and I still love them-oh Robert Smith, I go all mushy when I hear him sing "On candystripe legs the spiderman comes..."

Real guilty pleasures:
Abba
Barry Manilow (I named our pup Lola and sing Copacabana to her)
Kajagoogoo
Frankie Goes to Hollywood (Relax)
DEVO-yes, I totally saw them in concert and love them...Whip it good!

2008-05-16T17:22:00.000-07:00

I was a hair metal fan...but when no one was paying attention I listened to Waiting for a Star to Fall, Girls just want to have fun and almost anything by INXS, but Never Tear us Apart was a particular favorite, and Jessie's Girl by Rickspringfield...sigh I miss the 80s.

2008-05-16T16:13:00.000-07:00

Dudes, I've been in this nebulous eighties HAAAAZE all day wherein songs from that decade just randomly ENTER my HEAD and they just sort of glide INTO each OTHER and refuse to LEAVE.

Like, Snap's "I Got the Power!" morphed into Mars Loves Women's (??) "Pump Up the Volume" which THEN turned into "Pump Up the Jam", by Technotronic, which then turned into "Lost in Emotion", by Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam!

Sidenote, because I am addicted to this post and cannot force myself to do anything actually productive at the moment: who else remembers that "Buffalo Stance" song? Remember Neneh Cherry? Not like I'm listening to it right now or anything.

oh, and email shot jax. I'm curious now!;)

Yeah, bit of a brain fart there on the J.J./J.W. mixup, LOL! I swear, I was totally singing "Asta la Vista, Baby!" in my head... LMAO!

Mrsrhododendronson, I would like to thank you for making me squirt pop out of my nose. Mmmmmmmm, lychee...

Ernestine, you have no idea. If she occasionally caved into our pleas for some different music, she'd always, ALWAYS dance to Madonna's old tunes. Holliday, Lucky Star, and Erotica, in that exact order...

I just unearthed my old 'Art of Noise' CD... thanks Ent.

2008-05-16T14:47:00.000-07:00

Oh man, my iPod is probably at least half from the 80's! Prince, Anthrax (everthing from Among the Living), Slayer (everything from South of Heaven), Death Angel, Bangles, Billy Joel, Blondie, Bon Jovi, Boston, The Cars, Depeche Mode - that's just up to the D's!

How about....
"Come On Eileen" Dexy's Midnight Runner's

"Whenever I Call You Friend" Kenny Loggins

"Betty Davis Eyes" Kim Carnes

Violent Femmes! WHAM! Tora Tora! Faster Pussycat! Testament! Savatage!

Yes, I am a massive 80's music dork and apparently proud of it.

2008-05-16T14:21:00.000-07:00

My husband bought one of those turntables that you hook up to your computer to convert albums into CDs
and to download into ipods & mp3 players. he has been very busy with our 80's music. We have hundreds & hundreds of albums we refuse to let go of--they are so much more fun than a CD.

2008-05-16T14:19:00.000-07:00

Oh, and I'd just like to thank WEIRD AL for ALSO recognizing the genius of many of these tunes and appropriately parodying them and thus keeping them relevant forever and ever.

Because I'm fat! I'm fat! You know it!

Like a surgeon, hey! Cut for the very first time...

I lost on Jeopardy!....baby!

Bless his heart.

2008-05-16T14:13:00.000-07:00

Oh, I don't even count things like Prince, Madonna, Joy Division, The Cure, etc. -- I still love all these artists intensely, and they're totally not guilty pleasures for me.

Unlike "Tell it To My Heart," which is another song I just thought of. WTF happened to Taylor Dayne's ass, anyway?

Jewels -- I've got that Jane Child song on my I-Pod. Cornrows! Nosering! That lady was so hardcore.

"What Have You Done For Me Lately" is actually a Janet Jackson song -- and ANOTHER guilty pleasure of mine, along with "Nasty." And ALL of Rhythm Nation 1814, which she released at the tail end of the eighties, I think.

I've always thought that if I were a stripper, I'd disrobe to some Portishead, but, ummm, I guess The Bay City Rollers would be okay, too! Whatever puts wind in a man's sail, I guess.

2008-05-16T13:54:00.000-07:00

How the hell do you strip to "S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y--NIGHT"?!?! Just trying to figure that out is amusing me.

I have no guilt about 80s music, because that's pretty much all I still listen to.

2008-05-16T13:37:00.000-07:00

I used to get so pissed off at this stripper I once worked with. Every single set she danced to was the friggin' Bay City Rollers... Crap!
That Saturday night song? I heard it wayyyy too much!

Funny how all these '80s songs have been creeping up lately. Last week, I couldn't get "Captain of her Heart" by Double out of my head. Had to listen to it over and over and over....

I was a weird kid in the '80s, I was totally into Dalbello (Let's Tango).
Anything by Depeche Mode.
Adam Ant.
A Flock of Seagulls.
Jody Whatley, "What have you done for me lately?"
Ooh! Jane Child "Don't Want to Fall in Love" (Or was that in the '90s?) (FREAKY HAIR!)
Hi! Hi! And Culture Club.

ok, that's enough out of me. I could just keep going...

2008-05-16T13:33:00.000-07:00

My entire record collection is one, long, guilty pleasure. Mostly of the "hair metal" variety.

2008-05-16T13:03:00.000-07:00

I was a metalhead. Ozzy and Slayer and Ronnie James Dio.

I hated Journey at that time, but I really kind of like them now.
