Jack Jack 415 Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Wow ! That was really something . Lindsey at his best . I listened to the original for the first time in a while, it really pales in significance compared to his solo acoustic performance. Another one from Toto "Hold the Line" followed by Phil Collins and Philip Bailey with "Easy Lover" Those were awesome. Missed them both off my mixes, had to add them in. Any other ideas for 80's classics? Quote
Macca 17,132 Posted May 10, 2012 Author Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) Any other ideas for 80's classics? Well here's another Fleetwood Mac song from the late 80's . A lot of people liked their early stuff around the late 60's , early 70's but "Rumours" remains a standout album . Let me have a think on the 80's rock . So much of it really . Maybe we can have an 80's theme for a few weeks ? Or longer ! Others can post their fav's . Christine McVie remains one of my favourite female rock artists Macca's 80's 1.0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThbMaq8hDEo Edited May 24, 2012 by Macca Quote

Jack Jack 415 Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 No time like the present ! Haha, great stuff. I'll start off with one of my favourite bands. Their live album The Cure Show I'd rate as one of the best live albums going around. Jack Jack's 80's 1.1 And never has a comb sounded so good! Quote

Jack Jack 415 Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Here's another of my favourite bands. Mark Knopfler would have to go down as one of the most talented songwriters going around, he not too shabby on guitar either. For any other Dire Straits/ Mark Knopfler fans out there, if you haven't heard his solo album Kill To Get Crimson then do yourself a favour, it's brilliant. Jack Jack's 80's 1.2 1 Quote

Nascent 9,345 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Nascent 1.8 The very talented Mr Townsend, a former protege of Steve Vai, shows off his amazing vocals on this track (3.20 - 4.15). Not his best song, but probably one of the most accessabile from his solo work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Nnn4gSkprg&feature=related Nascent 1.9 Aussie band The Butterfly Effect. Posting purely because I'm catching their final tour in a couple weeks before Clint leaves the band. Quote

Those guys are all class. Awsome Aussie band. Bit of 'Rose Tattoo' , this song dedicated to the Scorpions ! I'm glad you didn't use his VFL grand final effort. Didn't exactly cover himself in glory on that day. Time for some Enz. Jack Jack's 80's 1.4 [media=] Quote

Jack Jack 415 Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Couple from Chisel Macca's 80's 2.1 Flame Trees is one of my all time favourite songs. Love it. I was listening to this song while driving around the other day thinking this could be the theme song for the season (I had MFCSS in full flight). But then I realised I was just focusing solely on the chorus "That's just the way it is, some thing will never change" So I listened to it a few more times and realised there was a much greater meaning to the song, which put things in perspective. Again I caught myself getting enthralled with an NBA match. I could see the battle, what seemed like gladiators going head to head, the cut a thrust of combat. But standing back I could see it for what it's worth, just a game. Anyway, enough of my midweek musings (maybe I should have started this with "Dear Diary"?), bring on the 80's! Jack Jack's 80's 1.6 And this one's alright too. Jack Jack's 80's 1.7 ] 1 Quote
Macca 17,132 Posted June 1, 2012 Author Posted June 1, 2012 Jack Jack's 80's 1.7 ] Been listening to a stack of new rock in the last week or so , but happy to continue the 80's theme for a few more weeks at least . Might do a 'July Madness' of new rock . I've got about 40 or 50 hit songs from this year to post !! Some great stuff from 'Garbage' , 'You me at Six' , 'Neon Trees' , 'Chevelle' , 'Papa Roach' , 'Chili Peppers' , 'Switchfoot' , 'LostProphets' , 'Marilyn Manson' and the 'Arctic Monkeys' Here's another from 'Simply Red' Macca's 80's 2.2 Quote
