Songs of the 80s and 90s...help me out here
Cameron:
Thanks, I don't think I would have remembered that.
This has been such great fun today here. I lived for the music in the eighties. I forgot so much but I guess I remembered a lot too. TLC, that was another good one.
Actually my name today, sort of, came from a song I that I loved back then. I may keep it and explain.
This was fun, Thanks Jess,
and great question Dev.
LauraGigs:
Trivia Question: Which 80's artist or group had the most Top 40 hits in the U.S.? (might not be who you think!)
And the answer is . . . Hall & Oates!!! We tend to associate the 80s with big solo acts: Madonna, Michael Jackson, Phil Collins (yecch), or David Bowie – but Hall & Oates (who were in a relationship with each other for a while) actually had the most Top 40 hits of the 80s.
"They are best known for their six #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100: "Rich Girl", "Kiss on My List", "Private Eyes", "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)", "Maneater", and "Out of Touch", as well as many other songs which charted in the Top 40."

Thanks Laura - Don't think a them as a couple or as the top 40 with the most in the 80's - mostly cause I didn't like their music, beyond their first semi-hit "She's Gone". They did reflect their times though, in that all a their songs had a unique sound, so unique that (to me) they all tended to sound the same, yet quite diff'rent from all the other 'unique' sounds of the 'journeys' and 'genesis' of the 80's. Guess that's why I found the one hit wonders of the 80's more interesting, in retrospect.

Yes, that can certainly be true!
Which brings up another point. Jess, you might also want to look at hit movies of the 80s & 90s and their soundtracks. For the 80s, stuff like Less Than Zero, Pretty in Pink, etc. They tend to include significant hits that may have been some of the only hits for their respective artists.
