The 80's is my garden of eden. No one ever.. EVER resites 80's lyrics as the most important of life changing lyrics or songs they've come across. ... Thinking about it..
The 80's had some great fucking bands.

I just realized, by the way, that I joined CKA on my birthday exactly two years ago.
And you're right WDHIII... The 80's did fucking rock. I hope I'll stick around for another two years to see where it'll all go.

Just a follow up.
We had some time to kill and on a lark we went to see Stanley Park, theater under the stars "Annie get you're gun". I wanted to go see "Jesus Christ Superstar" but that was on fireworks night and was more trouble than it was worth.

Bottom line was great. For someone who thinks pussycat dolls and so you think you can sing is high art, she liked this. Who says live theater is dead.

Now, as off-weekend dad, I need to drink those haunting memories of Ethel Merman singing "there's no business like show business" out of my mind.

Brenda Brenda:

The Beasty Boys are considered Hip Hop?

"You gotta fight for your right to paaaaaaaarty" is hip hop??

Have you heard any other songs by them?! They were a punk band before they got into hip hop, but they are most definitely a hip hop band. Many of their songs combine both genres.

Also, I forgot to add:

Run DMC
Public Enemy
Ice-T

And for some real Canadian classic rock, I recommend listening to Nash the Slash.

Cant forget my boys from Boston...

[ShepherdsDog]

What no mention of Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody is a classic!! My wife happens to think that, image aside, Christiana Aguilera is one of the better voices to come out of her time, especially the back to basics where she demonstrated the range of ability with different music styles from R&B(No other man) to swing(Candyman), but then again she listens to Benny Goodman, Spike Jones and Cab Calloway. She also likes the Brian Setzer(formerly the Stray Cats vocalist) Orchestra.

[TattoodGirl]

Queen is a definite!!! Aquilera has proven she has great range.

Huh Queen !!! (and I am not trying to insult anyone, it's a matter of preference)

This is not intended to make any fun. But Queen is a (bleeping) joke, sorry. Now take something like TG mentioned earlier, Boston. Plus some other great classics as AC/DC, Van Halen and so much more.
