Subject: Rate These 1980s Songs- Research For Starting New '80s Cover Band
Written By: HawkTheSlayer on 05/18/06 at 2:04 am
OK, fellow '80s afficionados!
I am looking to start up a new '80s cover band, and I want you to rate these songs which I plan to include on the playlist:
Goodie Two Shoes (Adam & The Ants)
She's A Beauty (The Tubes)
Turning Japanese (The Vapors)
Always Something There To Remind Me (Naked Eyes)
I Ran (Flock Of Seagulls)
I Love Rock & Roll (Joan Jett & The Blackhearts)
867-5309/Jenny (Tommy Tutone)
Strip (Adam & The Ants)
Fantasy (Aldo Nova)
Legs (ZZ Top)
Bad Case Of Loving You/Doctor, Doctor- Robert Palmer
Sushi Girl (The Tubes)
Hit Me w/Your Best Shot (Pat Benatar)
Talking In Your Sleep (The Romantics)
-As usual, 1-5 system (1=Why bother?, 5=Like wow, fer shurr!)
-Also: if you have other songs to input which you think you'd like to see covered, send me a private message, as well as if you're a musician, & you want in on the action.
Thanks!

Glad to see ppl taking an interest!
For the higher numbers- those will definitely be included.
For the lower numbers- I will have to ponder those, and see what other successful bands use them.
For the confused ones- I'm sure you know the songs. Just have to hear them again!

Well, thanks for the honesty!
-Not everyone can hang with the '80s.
I couldn't really do the late '60s, either.
-C'est la vie! ;D

No, actually, it was released in 1986. According to my notes from the Robert Palmer Anthology, from Island Records (and the anthology covers 1978-2003).

Are you sure?? I know "Addicted To Love" was '86; that song earned him the Grammy Award for best Male Rock Vocal Performance. Perhaps you have the songs confused?
"Bad Case" was a hit in 1979, hence it's from 70's.
