Songs from my youth.

Been chatting with CarolAnne tonight, given the tragic news about Michael Jackson, about msic from our youth, as we’re both about the same age.  this has lead to me diving deep into Youtube tonight so I can have a listen at some of the songs that seemed to be a big part of my childhood, or atleast the ones that left the biggest impression for some reason or another.  It all stemed from her watching Jonathon Ross on the BBC and his guests being Blue, and she said she remembered them and used to like them.  Then we got chatting bout older music like London Boys and Dire Straits inparticular.  I remember growing up in Rainworth when I was about 10 or 11 and me and a mate of mine would listen to Dire Straits doen at his house for ages.  The two that stick in my head most are the following two:

Money for Nothing

I think it’s the electric guitar part from the beginning that sets the song up for me.

Then you’ve got great songs from Berlinda Carlisle like Circles in the Sand, Heaven is a place on earth, Bananarama with Cruel Summer.  The list seems to go on and on at the minute.

The Bangles

There is so many I’m finding it hard to find my top 5 songs from that era of my life.  Specially with so many other songs like Madness - Our House, so many Michael Jackson songs, Madonna the list seems endless.  I’m gonna sit down and try and write a top 5 (or maybe 10) list of songs from the 80’s (my childhood) and post it on here in the coming days or weeks!
