toy; the rubix cube

memory: Okay, this is weird because I don't really remember that much from the 80s. I was born in 84, so can't really remember all that much from then. However, I did go through my little 80s period where I absolutely loved the 80s. No, I didn't start dressing in 80s fashion, I just loved the music.

I have a lot of things I love about the 80's....so in no particular order, I'm just gonna post my favorite things-

*Ferris Bueller's Day Off
*Back To The Future
*Flashdance (sorry...I know...I just love the movie)
*Metal/Rock bands!! Guns N' Roses, Black Sabbath, Twisted Sister, Metallica, etc.
*So many one hit wonders! Video Killed The Radio Star, Tainted Love, Everybody Wants To Rule The World, We're Not Gonna Take It, 867-5309 Jenny, Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This, I Ran (So Far), so many hits!
*New Wave
*The definition of Punk! The Clash, The Ramones, The Sex Pistols...

Okay, that just brought back one of my memories. I liked Falco. I desperately wanted the Falco 3 cd. I couldn't find it in the store, but that still didn't discourage me. I just kept bugging my parents for them to find the cd for me. Never did find Falco 3. I have the Remix Hit Collection. It's okay, considering that's the only Falco cd I could find. Still, they really screwed up the songs by doing these long remixes and it just spoils the whole song. Yeah, so when am I getting my Geek Award for admiting the whole thing?

Ah, you mentioned a Tears for Fears song, Karly. I have a few TFF cds. Where did Curt and Roland go? I know they split up and Curt formed another group, but I heard they got back together and were gonna release more stuff as TFF. What happened? Was that just a rumor or did they really release more stuff?

I have no clue...I love them. They had some hits, but Everybody Wants To Rule The World was the biggest. I also heard that rumor, that they would be getting back together. But I guess it never happened...? Too bad, too. They were great.

Yeah, they were great. Hmm, maybe I need to browse around online and see if I see any news about a new TFF cd. I'm sure they have quite a few websites about them. Let me check.

The Golden Girls
Back to the Future

Okay, I found a small piece of info.

Tears for Fears

The forthcoming TFF album, Everybody Loves A Happy Ending, is shaping up as "more guitar and orchestra based." A few song titles include Call Me Mellow, Who Killed Tangerine, Closest Thing To Heaven, Killing With Kindness, and Last Days On Earth. Cross your fingers for a Spring 2003 release on Arista Records.

I don't like old threads bumped up because, for the most part, the posters are no longer members.

I think a better idea is to create a new thread with the same topic. That makes more sense to me.

Indeed.

Sorry, no smoking gun. I stated that I don't like old threads bumped up and it's a better idea to create new threads. That is how I feel.

However, there is no rule against it as I stated to Jen, so she has every right to do so.

No contradiction. Both true statements.
