Concert and Music Reviews: December 2007

The discography of my life... footage of as many years of favorites I can think of.

I'm gonna say my first favorite song, that wasn't a childrens song, was "Sugar, Sugar" by The Archies.
My granparents had this mini record player and I would play the 45 at their house and just sing along. I'm gonna have to say I was about 3 years old at the time... possibly 4.

Here's the music:

The next favs I can remember was "You're the one that I want" and "Hopelessly Devoted" from the Grease soundtrack. I had the 8-track. lol. 1978

Around the same time - Journey's "Wheel in the Sky"

1980 - I was 8 by then, huh. lol. First one of my favs around this time was Blondies "Rapture"

1982 Yes, I loved Michael Jackson's "Billy Jean"

Also in 1982, when my world changed forever as far as the line between liking a band and becoming completely and utterly obsessed... The time where every penny was spent on Bop Magazine, Buttons, T-shirts and any other item I could get my little hands on. Duran Duran "Hungry like a wolf" and"Save a prayer".

And the song I STILL love but have no clue what it's about. Men Without Hats "Safety Dance"

1983 became the identification of copying style of artist... Madonna entered my world with "Lucky Star" and bangles, hair do-dads and cool skirts became my theme. LOL, I even had the choreography from the video down.

Oh and can't forget Spandau Ballet "True"

I'm gonna stick Berlin "Metro" here in 83 because I remember watching this MV3 that they played on. I fucking loved MV3 and Richard Blade.

1984 - Still obsessed with Duran Duran, but expanding my tastes, I discovered Thompson Twins, "Doctor Doctor" and U2
"Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "New Years Day"

hmm, I think 1985-ish... moved into the dance music. Yup... Debbie Deb "Look out weekend" (I'm using an anime video here because well, ummm there's nothing from the 80s there??? I guess there wasn't a music video?) We'll just gloss over 1985 here since you have probably guessed it was a more embarassing music period for me.

1986 began my journey into more alternative/punk music... Here I met Love and Rockets "Kundalini Express" and a really hot guy who loved the song too. =) I also discovered The Cure "Close to me" Oh and The Smiths "What difference does it make"!

And last but not least, one of the best fucking albums ever, if you don't own it... yea. The Cult - LOVE - "She sells sanctuary"

In 1987 I discovered one of my favorite bands to this day, Depeche Mode "Behind the wheel" and made sure to get EVERY casette relased. And so began my obsession with electronic music (Actually synth's) Marting Gore and Nick Rhodes made my Grandparents have to get me a Yamaha Synthesizer cause I was gonna be just like them... only a girl.
