We've had so much fun with the movie line quiz, I'm seting this up to see if those good at movies are as good at music!
Just for clarity, let's try not to have more than 3 unaswered lines on the board at once, and always give the year it was on the radio.
Here's my first, from 1984:

"You'll say anything to avoid a fight."
We'll need artist & title. So who's up first?

Your Pal,
Doc

Wind was blowing, time stood still"

Good job, Baby. It's one of my favorite songs. Here's another one from 1985:

Think hard now!

U2 - Bad   8)


Try this one:                                                               

  Secrets of lovers
Whisper tonight
Broken down angel
Got lost in the cold daylight
                                                                             

Here is another one:

Then wake up to a brand new day

That one is 'Dream on, White Boy, Dream On, Black Girl' by INXS.

Let me try one:
"Sitting in the classroom, thinking it's a drag"

Close - actually Original Sin by INXS

As for yours - Smokin' in the Boys Room - Motley Crue

1985  - Here is another one:
And the fear goes on shadows
And the tear flows on for nothing

Hint:   Actually the solo artist's first name is the same as yours.  And yes, he did have a few hits.

Howard Jones? ???

OK Baby, I hope you enjoyed the concert. I saw Phil with Genesis on the 'Dance' Tour in '92. Clearly you need a little more of a challenge, Let's see if this works, it's from 1988:

"Far away, too many leaders let'em get their way."
I saw the performer(s) in concert a year later, Good Luck!

Your Pal,
Doc

Howard


Howard...put your MIND to it! It's SIMPLE!  ;)

It's never simple enough! But Wezza, you're supposed to give the year of release.

1985: Simple MInds - Alive & Kicking!

Here's an easy one from 1980:

"Pretty soon we learn to fly."
Have fun with it!

Your Pal,
Doc

Oh! Didn't realise I had to supply the year!!  :)

The year was 1991 - and wasn't 'alive and kicking'
8)

or I'm also thinking On The Wings Of Love? :-\\



Howard

Pretty soon we learn to fly."

im thinking Bette Midler-wind beneath my wings.

how about this one

"I swear i saw a young boy, down in the gutter."

Sorry guys, but you're not even close on the "fly" one. Here's a clue:
Three Mile Island.

And any guesses on "Too many leaders"? Try it again!

Your Pal,
Doc
8)

or I'm also thinking On The Wings Of Love? :-\\



Howard



Nope. It IS a Simple Minds song though (from 1991). 


Doc Brown ; re: the 'fly' one - it's by Jimmy Buffett and is called 'Volcano'.  8)

Right you are, Wezza! I had a hunch that clue would make it too easy.

"But I don't want to land in New York City,
Don't wanna land in Mexico,
Don't wanna land at no Three-Mile-Island,
Don't wanna see my skin a-glow."
I hope this one from 1981 is a challenge(to some!):

"Where does that highway go to?"
Good luck to all!

Doc

Glory Days Bruce Springsteen? :-\\

Phill Collins - Don't loose my number.

Here is another from 1985 -

Separation
Condemnation

Achtung Baby



Final Farewll tour

This was one of the best I have been to in a while.

The drum popping out of the stage for "In The Air Tonight" was a nice touch.

how about this one

"I swear i saw a young boy, down in the gutter."


"Bat out of Hell" - Meatloaf?

"Bat out of Hell" - Meatloaf?


yur right
how bout this one-      1984, "when the night is cold and dark,
                                            you can see lights"                                 

Hart Corey - Never Surrender?  ???


How about this one:

1986    "Seven years went under the bridge
              Like time was standing still"

OMD - "If You Leave"

BTW, Bat Out Of Hell? That was definitely not 80's! and neither is a Simple Minds song from 1991.
Would you guys like a 70's/90's lyrics quiz?

How'bout some hints for mine?
1980/1 - A big white suit
1988 - Go South for this one.

Your Pal,
Doc
8)

Ooooooooh, soz, Doc!!  :P

Anyway - your answer to 'where does that highway go to' is 'Talking Heads 'once in a life time'.  8)

Try this one then....

'she's on a holiday,
she's got her summer frock on.
suck on an ice cream,
it's meltin' in the hot sun.'

think its from 1980/81  :)

Here is one - "Learn to love me and assemble the ways, now today tomorrow and always"

I was hoping someone had guessed this by now.........

I was hoping someone had guessed this by now.........

Uh, guessed what, Nosta?  ???

BTW Wezza, Same as it ever was!
JK, but you're right. I always liked Talking Heads.
Any luck on the one from '88? Keep trying, guys!

Your Pal,
Doc

Shoplifters Of The World Unite - The Smiths

Absolutely Vile

Shoplifters Of The World Unite - The Smiths

Absolutely Vile


Correct!

I'm afraid that one's already been guessed, AB.  ::) I only posted those lyrics to explain the clue.

Here's a new one for you to puzzle over, from 1987:

"It's learning the hard way..."
If anyone gets this, it'll probably be AB, but it's still anyone's guess. Have fun with it!
