    I love 80s music regardless of genre (obviously that's a general love and some specifics fall outside of it).

    What was funny to me about this is not that '80s music is bad,' but that the list was that it was so ridiculously MOR. Like, damn, did you never even see a Flock of Seagulls video?  To this day, I listen to lots of 80s pop.  A mid-80s Stray Cats show (opening act The Waterboys, as I recall) remains one of the funnest concerts I have ever attended.

    I kind of forgot about Lionel Richie...he had the Midas touch for a while there.  It was when I started running into slightly younger people who were Journey and Van Halen fans when I realized it's all about what pop music was playing when you were a kid, not whether it was good or not - !

    But then, the 80s was not a great decade for pop music in general. 

    I am with luddite, the 80s were a great decade, and much more interesting that present day pop music (a judgment that of course has nothing at all to do with my age). That's not to say I ever want to hear anything on that list again. Thomas Dolby on the other hand was genuinely creative for a while.

    Lionel Ritchie was one of the stars of Glastonbury this year, and his Greatest Hits album has been the top selling album here for a couple of weeks since then. I must admit though that I have not joined that particular bandwagon!

    Of all the ear worms to get stuck in my head for days.....Lip up fatty by Bad Manners!?! Seriously?!

    I could think of much worse when it comes to earworms!
    Eighties ska was really infectious. Maybe you should just 
    dance the worm out of your ear! "Buster Bloodvessel" gained
    even more weight during the 90's, but actually started looking 
    pretty trim about 10 years ago. I got to meet him and he's about 
    as goofy off-stage as on - and appeared to be a really nice guy.
    Bad Manners were opening for The English Beat here.

    Certainly infectious. My guess is I have not heard that song in 35 years, and all it took was looking at my overweight cat being a slob...
    Infectious is bad.

    Yes, but it also means: "...irresistible, compelling, persuasive, contagious, catching..."
    which can certainly be fun.

    Back in the day, I envied my roommate his copy of the extended dance version

    The crossing matron seems to be taking things in the right spirit

    I like their version of the theme from Exodus too.
    (compare that to Eddie Harris' version - LOL)

    I may be pointing out the obvious, but just in case the term is lost on North Americans, that "crossing matron" is known as a "lollipop lady" in British English, due to the shape of her staff of office.
  • DoofyDoofy
    That's great...30+ years later, I finally get the joke!

    So now I finally understand what this thread is about.

    Thirty seconds of autotuned cows. Add a looped cello track and a didgeridoo and it'd be a hit with emusers.

    A bit fishy, if I may say so . . .

    You can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish.

    Just to point out, if there is any sudden "Upswing" of that horn, he is going to be a soprano saxophone player

    That dude looks exactly like Russ Hanneman, the Mark Cuban inspired dill hole on Silicon Valley.
