This thread won't die.
Over a week ago I said to myself "this thread should have ended on it's own volition by now"
All threads on any boards eventually die, very few threads are legendary.

80's were the best for most things. Thread shouldn't die. I'm digging some of these video posting of songs I completely forgot about. LOL..

Interestingly, the Psych Furs song Pretty In Pink was on the soundtrack of the films Pretty In Pink and Some Kind of Wonderful. Flesh For Lulu's I Go Crazy was also on the SKOW soundtrack.

Good tune!! I used to watch SKoW regularly in my youth when I worked at the video store. I never really knew who sang that song. But as soon as I heard it, it made me think of the movie. Great movie! Pretty in Pink as well.

1981

Love this album from start to finish still today

A solid 80's love song for a single dude back in the day. One of my go to songs when dreaming of meeting that perfect woman that doesn't exist. LOL.

I loved horror flicks as a kid, even though most of them didn't really scare me much. I saw this movie below from 1983 when I was 13ish and it SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME!!! Any of you guys seen it? What did you think?

^^^...I'm a horror movie buff myself, John! Horror movies from the 70's and 80's were the best hands down! Didn't rely on cheesy gore (slashing overdone ad nauseum)...and didn't rely on garbage CGI effects with horrible acting...it was the actual plot, theme, content, and ambience of the movie sprinkled with the right blend of suspense and terror that kept you on the edge of your seat and made it a great horror flick....I mean look at this all-time classic werewolf transformation from the iconic horror film "The Howling" (1981)...no cgi, no computerized animated bullshit cartoonish crap, just some old school kick ass special effects with make-up artists who were light years ahead of their time!

Nice to look back, but were adults now.

My very first real girlfriend as a teen in NJ was a *gigantic* Journey fan.
She'd get wet under the belt just thinking about Steve Perry.
All us other Jersey boys called him Rat Boy.
Man, when I was a kid going to HS in NJ, we had some monster home grown acts.
Springsteen, Blondie, Bon Jovi, and on and on were Jersey acts.

My mom and dad grew up with the greatest of them all, Sinatra, then came the OG Frankie Valli.

The greatest looking 90 year old living today.

You know who knows more about Falsetto than Frankie Valli?
Nobody, that's who.
Nobody did what Elvis did and never will again, Michael too...
... and Frankie was the best ever at what he did too.

Opus 17 anyone?

^ Every chick I dated loved Bon Jovi. I was like that dude looks like a chick! lol.

Steve Perry had the voice though.. Crazy pipes!

**khicks26** · 08-17-23, 06:51 PM

Everyone I knew thought Steve Perry ruined the band. First two albums were without him. The original banded formed out of Santana.

**khicks26** · 08-17-23, 06:56 PM

But I still do like this song.

I personally think Carlos Santana is a top five of all tine guitarists.
Jimi, Kath, Brian May, Santana, fill in the rest...

Not where I was going but OK. Tommy Bolin, Rory Gallager, George Lynch, Randy Rhoads. Countless others.

i never cared for Journey, now having said that I think they were one band that produced some of the most epic of all what they call 'Rock Power Ballads"

I was just thinking about some of the epic power ballads from the 80's..
Poison, Skid Row, Heart, GnR, my God...

Listen to the Next Album, its not the Journey you're thinking of.

^^^ Frankie Valli was good back in the day Stevie but that wasn't in the 80's. They had a couple really good hits!
