Subject: Movie soundtrack of your 80s experiences
Written By: stingr22 on 01/17/04 at 00:41 a.m.
Say that they're making a movie about your life as a teenager in the 80s. You get to pick the songs for the soundtrack. Think back to the music you listened to, cruised to, "made out" to, or songs that you listened to when your heart was broke. At least 10 songs - no more than 12. And no more than one song from each artist. What will they be? Here are mine...
1. The One Thing - INXS
2. Is There Something I Should Know - Duran Duran
3. New Year's Day - U2
4. Who's Crying Now - Journey
5. One In A Million - The Romantics
6. Just Between You And Me - April Wine
7. I'll Wait - Van Halen
8. Why Can't I Have You - The Cars
9. It's My Life - Talk Talk
10. Ain't Even Done With The Night - John Cougar
11. The Girl Gets Around - Sammy Hagar
12. Live It Up - Mental As Anything

Sad mistake...was in a hurry while time-wasting on the job. I noticed the mistake later when I was discussing with my old friend who turned me on to both bands
A fun anecdote: Picture two wavers walking into soccer practice in northeast, rural Missouri singing Killing An Arab at the top of their lungs. We weren't quite right back then.

2. Rock Me - Great White
3. I Remember You - Skid Row
4. Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne
5. Here I Go Again - Whitesnake

Thanks for the nostalgic lead thread. Later. 8)
