Songs that take you back

I know it was different times back then. I think we lived very similar childhoods I Chick. I remember getting on my bike at 7 am and not being back till the street lights went on... powered all day by Jolt, Lik-a-sticks and Laffy Taffy. Then as teens hanging out in some secluded place drinking some Calvin Coolers (anyone remember those?) and listening to radio dedications. Good times.

Well, my parents were not into rock in the '70s when I was a child, so we listened to their music: Sinatra, Carpenters, etc.  However, when I was in middle school I was able to listen to my music, which was '80s pop and rock: U2, Journey, etc.   Favorite songs were Don't Stop Believin', Anyway You Want It, Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin', (all by Journey and the AMAZING voice of Steve Perry; some of it was end of the '70s, too, technically) Hotel California, I Can't Tell You Why, etc., (Eagles) Tainted Love by Soft Cell U2:  EVERYTHING they do is still my favorite.  They are the best band to survive the '80s, in my opinion.  Still making amazing music! (With or Without You is great, among many others)

INXS was a good '80s band, too.  Michael Hutchence had that sexy voice that was fun to hear on the beach.  Remember "Need You Tonight?"  Very sexy song. I love music!  What would life be without it?  Steph

Great question!!

Seasons in the sun by Terry Jacks

We had joy,

we had fun,

we had seasons in the sun,

but the stars we could reach

were just starfish on the beach.

And there was one about a horse called "Wildfire" but I don't remember who sang it!!
