Matthew. You know... for some reason I have the impression that, unlike most of the others mentioned in this thread, TAYLOR DAYNE should have a greatest hits cd. Only I can't remember any of her songs.

Well, two that come to mind are Tell It To My Heart and I'll Always Love You. I know there are more, but I'm drawing a blank

Love will lead you back Someday I just know that Love will lead you back to my arms Where you belong
As sure Sure as stars are shining One day you will find me again It won't be long One of these days Our love will lead you back...
-A song I've always liked a lot.
anybody remember a group called WILL TO POWER? They did a cool cover of Lynard Skynard's FREEBIRD mixed with Frampton's BABY I LOVE YOUR WAY. Well, I always liked it. The Skynard fans around here hated it. They also did a cover of I'M NOT IN LOVE which I enjoyed.

Yes, though I'd forgotten all about it...!
Okay, so who here liked Milli Vanilli? I liked 'Girl You Know It's True' well before I ever saw the video. It's a shame they were too embarassed to use the actual vocalist's image in the videos. He wasn't THAT fat...! The other MV song I liked was 'Baby Don't Forget My Number'.

I LOVED the Jets! Make It Real and Cross My Broken Heart were my two favorites of their songs. I have their greatest hits collection, but only on cassette I totally lusted after one of the brothers in that group. His name escapes me at the moment (after all, I wanted to do him, not date him ), but I think he was the only brother with light colored hair (I think it might have been reddish).

They were all brothers and sisters, the Wolfgramm family. They ranged in age from around 13 to around 19, I think. The one I liked, Eugene, was only in the group for two years, and the rest continued on throughtout the 80s. They have recently gotten back together as Jett17 (I think), but with a different lineup. A few of the originals have been joined by some other relatives (cousins and such) Guess who did a web search after her last post?

Okay, anyone remember ATLANTIC STARR and their 2 memorable hits:
Secret lovers That's what we are We try so hard to hide The way we feel 'Cause we both belong To someone else But we can't let go 'Cause what we feel Is oh so real, so real, so real
and the even bigger
Ooooh you're like the sun Chasing all of the rain away And when you come around You bring brighter days Youre the perfect one For me and you forever will be And I will love you so For always
MAN, did I love those songs!!!! Do they have a greatest hits I can buy?

Don't get me wrong: there's alot of today's music that I love, but there was just something about the music of the 80s. It was fun, it wasn't overly "complex" and "meaningful", but it just made ya feel good and want to sing along I just recently found a local radio station that features a gruntload of 80s music. Needless to say I've been listening to it every time I get in my car.

Yeah, even "99 Red Balloons" is somehow more uplifting than most of what we get today. There just seemed to be more, I don't know, spirit(?) passion(?) to the music then. [Hey! I finally made it to Candidate! ]

^Yeah, I just read the lyrics for both versions of 99 Luftballoons for the first time (since I had never heard the English version, and I don't know German), and Gob is it depressing! Never would have thought that such an upbeat sounding song would be so dark. Quick poll:English or german version, which do you prefer?

I also prefer the German version of Du Hast by Rammstein. German songs lose their flavor when you hear the lyrics in English.

I also prefer the German version of "99 Luftballoons." It's a very different tale than the one in the English lyrics. (Example: The war in the German version lasts 99 years!)
I also liked Falco's original German version of "Der Kommissar" better than the After The Fire remake in English.
Drah di net um (uh, oh) Ja Ja, Der Kommissar geht um

An early 90s group that doesn't get enough respect:
TECHNOTRONIC!
I *know* they had 3 hits, but can only remember 2...
SHAKE THAT BODY (which got huge exposure in a commercial Cindy Crawford was in)
PUMP UP THE JAM
-- What was the third? Please help, it's driving me crazy!
FYI-
I didn't know Technotronic was still around, but they just had a new CD reviewed in a gay mag here (it got a poor review).
