Songs of the 80s and 90s...help me out here
« on: April 01, 2007, 12:25:22 am »
ok I have figured out HOW to download music...and now I am pulling a blank on what songs I want to buy!  ::) ::)

I liked the pop music of the 80s does anyone remember any names of artists? I remember Madonna was around....Men Without Hats....Wham?? were they in the 80s?? anyway, what songs were your favorites?  I like rock (not so much the heavy metal), country, a very little hip hop...(there was a song about waterfalls??)

Was Eddie Van Halen popular in the 1980's? Or was that in the '70's?

Guess I'm getting old because I can't remember for sure.  ???

Anyhow, I loved Eddie Van Halen!  :D

Adam Ant:

Desperate, but not serious...
Your kisses drive me delirious...

The golden age of Michael Jackson was in the 80s, too.

Duran Duran...another MTV favorite.
