Rutlefan Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 ^^ I had a friend at the time who was really into the first album (with "Mad World"). I didn't really care for them thinking them kind of prissy Brits singing mopey songs so I was prepared not to like Songs from the Big Chair when it came out but whoa, it was unstoppable, like a force of nature. What VH's debut was to rock in '78 SftBC was to pop alternative in '85. Seemed like everyone liked it no matter what kind of music they were into otherwise. You mentioned "one side." Side 1 I assume. Side 2 is so cool too, while being very different from side 1. One thing that made the album so great. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember getting up to change sides, but that doesn't mean I didn't on occasion. I do remember being up all night. I couldn't stop listening to it.

pjbear05 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I remember having a small crush on this woman when I was a kid. http://youtu.be/JP4xXjW97ko I remember this one especially for its use in the Bally’s gym commercials. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3mSb6IGCZw[/media] I remember her shilling Vic Tanny, a chain of gyms in Michigan, using "Strut." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutlefan Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) ^^ Funny, I thought she was THE HOTTEST ever in that Adam Ant video. Was surprised (but then not so) to learn she was Stromberg's boat/helicopter pilot in The Spy Who Loved Me. For my money, the two most beautiful Bond girls in one film, her and Barbara Bach.

New_World_Man Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Celebrate the eighties? As my old friend from the eighties would say "let's not and say we did." Even in the 80's I was not big into most of the music that was current at the time. I was more into seventies bands. I didn't even watch MTV much because most of the time I didn't have access to cable television. I did see a few good movies in the theater though but off the to of my head I can't remember them. There were some good tv shows on at the time too. Not to spoil anyone's party but I think the 80's are maybe a bit over-rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
