This post was updated to list 20 songs instead of the original 10 I had put down. Also, since my enjoyment of these songs was inextricably related to watching the vidoes on MTV, I went ahead and linked to videos on YouTube/MySpace.
p.s. I had totally forgotten about them when I made the list, but I also loved Love Stinks by J Geils Band and Jenny (867-5309) by Tommy Tutone.
excellent choices! The links to the videos were a great idea. Aw yes, the good ole days when MTV used to actually play music videos! LOL ;o)
ReplyDeleteOh, you've got some of my favorites on here too. And I love the videos. That armadillo in Rock the Casbah always slays me!
ReplyDeleteoh man Ingrid....if I had time...I'd be listening to all those songs....but work is calling. I may have to join in on this one some time. :)
ReplyDeleteI love Jenny 867-5309. I heard that they had to make that number not available to anyone, as people would call it all the time. LOL
Amazing List! I totally left off one of my favorite songs from mine. Murray Head's "One Night In Bangkok" is an amazing song! Thanks for playing. The videos were great. "Total Eclipse of the Heart" is one of the creepiest videos ever made! We are the MTV Generation. Thanks for the great post!
