Another fave of mine is Walk Like an Egyptian. It has no real intrinsic value as anything other than a crazy dance tune, but it's fun to teach stuff like this to my daughter.

If it was just their hit Relax I probably wouldn't have liked them all that much, but Two Tribes and Welcome to the Pleasuredome rock, especially the Surrender version of TT and the single version of the latter. I wish I could play the guitar like that on Two Tribes!Ted Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09022309459554237650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319453613836766610.post-4548669031378670252013-09-07T03:31:38.452+02:002013-09-07T03:31:38.452+02:00Sorry, didn't like them then, wouldn't lik...Sorry, didn't like them then, wouldn't like them now.

There are a...LOL, FGTH is a throwback to my youth! There are a great number of bands from the 80s that seem to be influencing the current music scene, for better or for worse. I grew up on 80s music, so I understand your amazement that kids today are clueless to the cycles music flows through. My eldest's after school program introduced me to Justin Timberlake's newest tune, which sounds like a remix of something Michael Jackson or another from that era would have done - heck at first I thought they **were** listening to the 80s!<br /><br />The problem with a lot of the bands from that era is the mixed signals some of them sent regarding their sexuality versus their music; in some cases their orientation overshadowed nearly everything else, which was a sign of the times. I was in grade 1 in 1981, so I missed out on a lot of the political aspects - I just liked some of the tunes and thought some of them were wierd (Boy George, shudders).<br /><br />Thanks for bringing back some classic 80s memories!
