GEN X: What music have you been listening to ?!

[2PhiloVoid]

Man you really need to learn what real music is! If you wanna talk about Perfect Strangers & music in the same thought then at least treat us to a song that REALLY rocks;

.... I can only say that your choice of vid song has touched a brain cell within my skull I honestly thought had died.

But ... there it is! It lives! (Gasp!) Jok, you're too much, dude! Just too much!

IT was 1980, and just when I thought it was safe to put my wallet back in my pocket and avoid spending any more serious cash on Star Wars toys, paraphernalia, or other knicknacks, George Lucas struck back.........and boy, was my 11 year old heart so very glad he did!

Kansas - Play the Game Tonight (1982)

"You think that something's happening
And it's bigger than your life

But it's only what you're hearing
Will you still remember
When the morning light has come
Will the songs be playing over and over
'Till you do it all over again

Play, play the game tonight
Can you tell me if it's wrong or right
Is it worth the time, is it worth the price
Do you see yourself in the white spotlight
Then play the game tonight ... ... "

Little River Band - B d E s (1984)

"... Don't look left, now don't look right
Take another step back, don't see no sight
Keep a straight face, lead a streetwise life
If you were there, could you turn a blind eye?

Blind eyes are weak, blind eyes are cruel
Look out for number one, survival's the rule
Look straight ahead on a one-way street
Let sleeping dogs lie, just turn a blind eye
(Don't look left, don't look right)
(Let sleeping dogs lie, just turn a blind eye) ... "

Don't you just hate it when someone starts telling you all the stuff that everybody already knows? Well, just as in biblical times, there are perhaps moments today when we need to hear it all again. On the other hand, what we might not know is that there's a fantastic song about it all, one which not ...

When I was a kid in 1980, I had no idea that this radio pop song was actually a kind of sermon. If only all sermons were like this one and set to catchy synthesizer and guitar riffs (i.e. after the soft, 50 second intro) ...
