Affair of the Heart - I have his Working Class Dog album (have always liked the cover), and I love him!! I also watched him every afternoon on General Hospital. After catching his story on Behind the Music, I have a better respect for him. If you've seen it, you know what I mean. Not a bad song. Always Something There to Remind Me, She Blinded Me With Science, Beat It, Let's Dance - Favorites!! David Bowie can do no wrong, ever. Seeing Culture Club on the list, I remember being in grade school again and how much my parents just could NOT understand why I, or anyone else my age, could possibly like this guy. *lol* Yes, I've seen that Behind the Music, and I know exactly what you mean. I had no idea he had experienced so much pain in his life. I've always loved his music, and had a big crush on him back in his General Hospital days!   I agree, the Working Class Dog cover is great! My parents were the same way about Culture Club! |

Thanks for the link to the Springfield tune ! I do remember it - wow what a jolt to the memory LOL I haven't heard it since '83. A buddy of mine recorded alot of songs off radio at that time - he'd let the tape run all night then check in the morning to see what he had and this is where I first heard it. You're welcome, Ken! It's been ages since I've heard it on the radio myself. That reminds me - I remember back on YL you had posted about the Michael Stanley Band's 'My Town'. I heard that song on the Flashback radio show about 2 or 3 weeks ago, after not having heard it for years! Great song! |

I think this chart was probably the reason I wasn't listening to the radio in the early 80s. Not much here I liked then or now. Don't let it End was the beginning of the end for Styx. Got so tired of Beat It (and Thriller) I got rid of the cassette I had of it. Let's Dance was ok by not very good by earlier Bowie songs. Always Something there to Remind Me was ok. The rest I could take or leave. Sorry, just didn't like the music being put out in 1983. I completely agree with you about Styx. As I mentioned to Sat, I've just never been able to get into that song. I remember I literally wore my Thriller cassette out! I still love those songs, but I agree they were overplayed back in the day. |

Well, let's see...The Culture Club and Irene Cara songs are my faves on here today. The Springfield song is all right, but he had better. Tired of hearing Beat It, and the Naked Eyes song was never my favorite. Everything is on here is just ok. I've always loved 'Time' - it was their best song, IMO. It brings back a lot of good memories of my freshman year of high school. |

I love My Town so much ,we have a new station here in town about 6 months old and they play a wide variety of music , mostly 70's and 80's I'm really suprised they haven't played it at least as far as I know:) |

That's one of the very few Behind the Music's that made me cry. Calling Dr. Noah Drake, calling Dr. Noah Drake! *swoooon*  |
