Yes! Those!!

 

Also Queen, Peter Frampton, Kansas, Culture Club, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and still my favorites: Sparks.

 

@jaxs mom - Did you ever see Siouxsie and the Banshees in concert? They are still on my list of bands I wish would play a concert near me.

Culture Club was here a couple months ago and were fabulous.


Oh @sandraskates ❤️❤️ My sis just went to a culture club concert I was soooo jealous!! Said it was great and the original members! She also went to a Cyndi Lauper concert recently but she did mostly newer stuff. I guess she doesn't like doing so much of her old stuff, you know the stuff that actually made her famous lol!Smiley Happy

Paul Anka.....Put Your Head On My Shoulder was a favorite.  I graduated in 1961 !!  My boyfriend at the time, now my hubby for the past 52 years, considered that as "our song".  Smiley Happy

Omg, too many to list, from Beatles and Stones, etc., to James Brown, The Temps, , all the rest I'd Motown, soul, Linda Ronstadt in her early days, Hendrix, mamas and papas, and way, way more, as well as classical. Always classical. (Never country, even now.)

Yes! I was also a child of the 80s and MTV! Duran Duran, the B-52s, Adam and the Ants/Adam Ant, Missing Persons, Berlin, Cyndi Lauper, Howard Jones, Rick Springfield, The Fixx, Yaz, Violent Femmes, U2, English Beat (then General Public and UB40), INXS, the Go-Gos and the Bangles.

I also listened to Journey, The Police, Billy Joel, Peter Gabriel, Genesis, The Eagles, The Beatles, Joe Cocker, AC/DC, The Stones, Queen, Elton John, Prince, James Taylor, Tom Petty, and Paul Simon.

 

In college, I went through the folk-rock era with Tracy Chapman, Indigo Girls, Sarah McLachlan, Suzanne Vega, Blues Traveller, the Travelling Wilburys, Crhis Isaak, the alt-rock of Jesus Jones, Dada, and the R&B/rap music of the DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, Janet Jackson, MC Hammer, Bel Biv Devo, Salt N Pepa, TLC, En Vogue, and PM Dawn.
