Kevin Paige - Don't Shut Me Out.

I was gonna post this in the AOR song of the day thread, but I don't think it's AOR to be honest. It's close, but more AOP (Adult Orientated Pop), I guess. Still a great track I've always loved.

Oh yeah love this, bought his ST album back in '89 and played the shit out of it, this album deserves a thread of it's own.

Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know.

I think it's only gonna be the Aussies and the Brits that are familiar with these guys. I may be wrong.

This is a great track.

Didn't know they were popular in Australia, that's cool. I do love this song but because a lot of my friends are from the same city as the Arctic Monkeys it has somewhat been overplayed for me which is a shame.

Bitch.

I was reminded today of the original Meredith Brooks version, which in turn, reminded me of the far superior Aussie version.

The Pursuit of Happiness - I'm an Adult Now.

I loved this track in '88 when I wasn't an adult and still do.

Not that I'm more of an adult now.

It still holds up.

Not a HH track, but I love this one.

All the Cheech and Chong movies were regular rentals for me in my early teens.

This track just brings a smile to my face.

I've been "80s Pop" reminiscing today.

These six are huge time machines for me.

I know, six songs of the day is a little excessive, but there were so many great Pop tracks that we all grew up with.

Maybe 80s Pop memories deserves a thread of it's own?

"The Breakfast Club" video is pure 80s, BTW.

Inhaler - It Won't Always Be Like This.

This track has been featuring fairly regularly on one of our commercial radio stations down here over the last few weeks.

I know nothing about the band except that the lead Vocalist is the son of BONO (U2).

You can definitely hear him in his Son's voice for sure.

I wouldn't be interested in checking them out, but I have to say, this song isn't terrible. Nice chorus.

Roxus, the only way! I cannot stop missing the man, the myth, the vox!

 

 

Juno's solo album is horrible.

When asked for second album by the band, his reply " No, and I have moved on "

Laura Branigan - Gloria.

I'm sure most of us here remember this track very well.

A massive 80s international hit.

It's been a while since I've heard it, but for some reason it's found it's way into the rotation of one of our radio stations in Melbourne and i've heard it about six times in the last two weeks.

I didn't fully appreciate it at the time, but this is one great powerful vocal performance. 

The way the vocals build up is killer. She really did have an incredible voice.

I had totally forgotten that she recorded that track, too. At least here - that's my impression - the original version by Umberto Tozzi was far more popular. My memory might betray me, but I don't think so. "Self control" was a huge hit and is still the song that most people think of when she gets mentioned.
