If I'm not mistaken, he was sued for ripping off the Queen/Bowie song under pressure.
I wish I had been there to see those two greats perform together.

Kind of like Milli Vanilli didn't they get in trouble for something similiar?



I think I still have their CD in the office in my collection...In the late 1980s riding my bike around the huge lake where I used to live-this was one of the CDs playing in my walkman...memories!

Eddie Murphy Party All the Time- I didn't hear this as often on the radio but got a good groove


Michael Jackson Billie Jean They played this one ALL the time on the radio and MTV

Here are two I liked from an 80's band I don't think anyone has posted about yet:

foxxycat --Eye of the Tiger is the first song my brother taught me to sing, he would sing the words, and I would repeat them back. Cool memory.

Here's two more favorites:

Don't Do Me Like That by Tom Petty

Don't Let Me Down by The Beatles

 

[PushPurrCatPaws]

 

[maggiedemi]

foxxycat --I loved Milli Vanilli. I don't know why they wouldn't just let the original singer be the front man. He wasn't bad looking. What a disaster!

PushPurrCatPaws --You forgot this one!

What I Am by Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians

 

[foxxycat]

anyone remember the Whispers Rocking Steady?


Kool N The Gang Get down On It


Ain't Nobody Chaka Khan

I really love Chaka Khan-wish she stuck around and made more music=the beat, the words of her songs are just good moving music!

My two all-time favourites: for yesterday - the 243rd birthday of the United States Marine Corps:



And for today - Veterans' Day - both for the old man:

I played both songs and I have no recollection of these songs.. back then they used to play the same 10 songs over and over on the radio..I like these songs-nice melody!

I just posted her one hit above, What I Am. You'll recognize that one.

 

[1CatOverTheLine]

What I Am by Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians

M maggiedemi - Actually, that whole album (Shooting Rubber Bands At The Stars) is worth listening to.

With Mrs. Paul Simon, I guess we can go back to Sinead O'Connor Amy Ray and Emily Saliers too, huh?

 

[maggiedemi]

I forgot she was married to Paul Simon, cool fact. Why did you cross out Sinead? I love this song:

Nothing Compares 2U by Sinead O'Connor

Here's the only Indigo Girls song I know. I like the lyrics on the one you posted though.

Closer To Fine by Indigo Girls

 

[foxxycat]

I found the entire copy of the Nutcracker for those who like classical music. As a girl I used to listen to this all the time and of course dance around the living room pretending I was one of those ballerinas


If anyone gets the chance to see this play in person=do it! The orchestra and dancers just make it all fit together...my dad made us go to this every year starting at 4 years old..he wanted me to have a well rounded childhood with exposure to different types of music..probably to break me out of my MTV habit.

Found the play

Highly recommend it considering the Christmas season is almost here!

Mr. PushPurr and I listened to this in the car yesterday while out driving around looking at autumn leaves:

 

[PushPurrCatPaws]

 

[PushPurrCatPaws]

Love The Waterboys... hard to post only one song!




edit: They did several covers... Mr. PushPurr says their version of Purple Rain is good, too.

 

[1CatOverTheLine]

Mr. PushPurr and I listened to this in the car yesterday while out driving around looking at autumn leaves:

PushPurrCatPaws - If you enjoy Camille Saint-Saëns Concerto, you certainly know Tchaikovsky Concerto as well. I've always enjoyed György Pauk's rendition (my Dad's favourite), and sent this to a Friend a few days ago, who likewise enjoyed it. It's more controlled that the version we all know - Isaac Stern's performance - and I think even more evocative. Recorded almost sixty years ago, it stands up to any performance recorded since that time, I believe.

M maggiedemi - listen to the first five minutes, and I'll bet that you can't turn it off after that; this is what the word, "haunting," is all about:

 

[orange&white]

Ravel's Bolero

...Flash Mob Style...

 

[maggiedemi]

listen to the first five minutes, and I'll bet that you can't turn it off

You know what I'm about to say...wait for it...there's no words...
It is pretty, but it would be better with words.

orange&white --Cool. Welcome to our thread finally!

foxxycat --Here's that song I was telling you about on your Little Texas cd you bought:

What Might Have Been by Little Texas

 

[foxxycat]

Mr. PushPurr and I listened to this in the car yesterday while out driving around looking at autumn leaves:

very nice! I haven't listened to too much classical but bet this would sound lovely on the speakers..right now listening through headphones cause the TV is on the history channel.

1CatOverTheLine very nice piece you posted. IT is haunting! Love to see more examples of what you think is "haunting" since I am way out of my league here. My grandfather used to listen to Madame Butterfly and a few others I remembered as a kid when I used to look through his records and that was the only name I could remember...
