Dayum. Read my mind, before I opened this post, I was thinking about the same song/artist. "Spirit in the Sky." One of my all time favorite hits. Good stuff. The louder the better.
I knew there was a reason I liked you.
Beyond the 2/75th stuff.

My favorite pair would be: Hold Your Head Up by Argent

For the 80's(I am not really into 80's music but here it is)
Flock of Seagulls ? ?I Ran"
or maybe
Dexys Midnight Runners ? ?Come On Eileen?
Both bands had potential and some real talent.0 -
How about Stuck in the Middle With You by Stealers wheel 0 -

I'm a BIG fan of the late Jerry Raferty (sp) who had a great solo career. He was the man behind Steeler's Wheel0 -

There is one song from the early 80's that I really liked and I cannot say why. It may have something to do with the beat, or it may just be the state of mind I was in back in those days.
Commissars In Town by that German band, Falco. There is both an English version and a German version to this song and I like them both.0 -
Old bluegrass group from down in North Carolina had a hit, Feed the Baby Onions So You Can Him In The Dark. 0 -

I?ve never been able to remember song names or groups. If they?re famous and it?s one of their hits, I may be able to call it up in memory.
Every once in a while I channel surf and end up watching the ad for ?100 hits of the 60s?. I watch and am amazed at all the songs I loved but have forgotten about. It?s soooo good to hear those oldies!
Thank you for starting this thread and reminding me of songs from long ago!0 -
Your welcome
All I listen too is crazy stuff like this I hate todays music just like my old man hates the music I grew up to
I used to listen to this stuff on a clock radio. One of the old ones with the little metal leaves that fliped to show the time.
My old man hated it so bad he got me a set of head phones so he wouldn't have to hear it, because I played it loud! I love peace music from the 60's
Give me Eric Burden and the Animals............. its my life and I am fine with the world.0 -
Honorable mention for Cyndi Lauper not strictly for a one hit wonder but for having Captain Lou Albano play her father in a music video - with a rubber band constraining his goatee - wearing a wife beater...
That leads you to Herbie Hancock - Blondie doing rap music - Micheal Jackson and sir Paul McCartney together with the duet "the girl is mine"...
Ray Parker Junior "I ain't afraid of no Ghost"...
Rosanna and brass monkey and the fat boys and heavy D and Chuck D - yo MTV raps - headbangers ball - my prerogative - Milli vanilli - etc...
