Have to admit i have some grudging respect for those imbecilic tracks that got to No.1 and prevented some banger of a track from reaching the top, like Vienna or what not. I'm sure it happened other decades too but it feels quintessentially 80s and I'm down with it. I enjoy Ultravox. Vienna is grea...

Well, there's Joe Dolce, but I'm not convinced there's that much worse that you'd term at least music! (Not so) fun fact: the distinctive synthesizer bits were devised and performed by Shane MacGowan's old school contemporary, Thomas Dolby. I know this because there was a piece in one of the music ...

The first one has been stuck inside my head for past 20 minutes and driving me insane. The second I'd guess I'd know it if i heard it, sadly. There are much bigger musical crimes than those two.

Must admit off-hand i only know the one song, the real horrendous one, and no way i could be risking my precious ears checking if they have any worse. Waiting for a Girl Like You Cold As Ice I'm sure you haven't escaped hearing those two. That other huge hit aside. The first one has been stuck insi...

] ... Waiting for a Girl Like You Cold As Ice I'm sure you haven't escaped hearing those two. That other huge hit aside. You're forgetting "Hot Blooded". They managed to get a fair number of "hit" songs. I don't understand it but it happened at least in the US. If you listen to whatever generic "cl...

Are Foreigner that good? No, not at all. I think they've managed to entrench themselves in the world of Classic Rock, however, and they had some monster hits.

Thoughts on this year's rock hall inductees: Mary J Blige - solid pick. She helped change the landscape of R&B in the 1990s and her influence continues to be felt. Jimmy Buffett - he created a genre and then kept repeating it for decades. Maybe a "legacy" pick because he just croaked. Cher - meh. S...

Whiney Houston > Phil Collins > Ed Sheeran

Controversial

Is that the name of his new single?

Who were the biggest solo artists of the 80s? Michael Jackson probably is at the top of that list, but I'd put Phil Collins in 2nd place. Madonna's on the short list. Agreed. I think I top-3 could be: 1) Michael Jackson 2) Madonna 3) Phil Collins PRINCE. See Marky's post further up.😉😎

Stealing our jo....em, i think we're talking about the band here, right? Could you imagine two Foreigners. 😯 Impossible. There's only one Mick Jones! Sadly there are two. :disshame: What have you got against Verizon's senior construction engineer? https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-mick-jones-3726...

They are the opposite of good. The epitome of not good. The role model for things not good. Foreigners are great you Xenophobe.

Since working at a record store, I have a visceral aversion to RSD anyway.

I put more effort into the remasters I do than 95% of these RSD releases.
