Turkish researchers ... well there it is. Turks, muslims who cares about their BP?
Why did Constantinople get the works?

Amen!!!!
I really haven't changed much since I was 27. The course of my life was set in those 1980s.
Very underrated tune, for sure.
And I'm not even a Def Leppard fan, but here's THE best 1980s tune of them all (hat tip to GibsonGuy on this one):
I consider it an 80s tune even though it was actually released in late 1979.
I've even taken this opportunity to change my tagline! :-)
These guys were inspirations for dweebs like me ... like maybe we had a chance with the hottest girls in high school after all! LOL.
"It's All I Can Do" was on the 1979 Candy-O album. Definitely one of their greatest songs.
I can still smell fried clams (from Kelly's Roast Beef in Revere, MA) when I hear that song today. Though I liked "Nightspots" and "Since I Held You" almost as much.
During the summer of 1979, I was 16 years old and had just gotten my driver's license. I'd borrow my father's Chrysler Newport and tool up and down the beaches from Winthrop to Lynn, listening to that fabulous album, with a box of fried clams right beside me (and sometimes a girl). Also the Supertramp "Breakfast In America" and that Knack record were big that summer.
Progressive trance, deep house, and melodic EDM are all excellent genres of modern electronic music and songs such as Marconi Union's Weightless have been scientifically proven to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation to the point that they issued a warning about driving while playing it.
Thanks for the ping. Life in a Northern town is great yet nearly lost song.
It was. And, it was reflected in the music of the decade. Songs like "Walking on Sunshine" to the "Future's So Bright (I've Gotta Wear Shades) and even upbeat, good-time hard rock of big hair metal bands.
It's not surprising it all happened when Ronald Reagan was President.
I love me some Boy George, George Michael, and Michael Jackson. Throw in some Madonna and Cyndi Lauper. Whenever I hear “Do you Really Want to Hurt Me,” I scream yes.
I still have a problem with the Aussie invasion of the 1990's converting a majority of new CCM into highly repetitive and boring "worship" music with predictable crescendos. LOL
Compared to the 90s, the 80s were better in every way and, maybe it was just the videos they showed that night but, I couldn’t get very far into the 90s before I had to turn it off.
Bad music, disturbing videos and horrible fashion statements, all with nothing good to say about anything.
Music is important. If you want to know the health of a person or a society, first look at their music.
Some say that society comes first, that society makes the music, but I think it’s probably the other way around ... the music comes first.
Music soothes the savage beast or creates one.
If you want to “fix” a person or a society, first change the music.
Two great songs.
My friends and I were huge “Duranies’. We went to pieces every time they appeared on TV. My bedroom walls were saturated with Duran Duran posters.
Ironically, IMHO, their best song was was released in the 90’s.
“Ordinary World”- Duran Duran
I enjoy MANY types of Music. I grew up with Rock & Roll. The Everly Brothers, Ricky Nelson, The Ventures, The Beau Brummels, Jefferson Airplane, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, Jay and the Americans, Pat Benetar, Steppenwolf, The Yardbirds, ZZ Top.....
Then, Southern Rock, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Jackson Browne, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Marshall Tucker Band, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Eagles, ....
Then, (in addition) The New Country (and some traditional) Martina McBride, Brooks & Dunn, Toby Keith, Suzy Boggess, Shania Twain, Dwight Yokum....
Then, Contemporary Christian Music, Sara Groves, Steven Curtis Chapman, Keith Green, Bebo Norman, Jaci Velasquez, Greg Long, Fernando Ortega...
Then, Modern (don’t know what it’s called) Chvrches, Emeli Sande, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Kodaline, Lissie, Paramore, The Killers, The Stereophonics, Poliça, Thirty Seconds To Mars...
Then, New Age (to the point of the article, RELAX), Direct TV channel 856 MCNA, playing right NOW)
David Arkenstone, 2002, Fiona Joy Hawkins, Secret Garden, Ron Korb, Constance Demby, Jim Brickman, Enya, The Piano Guys, Ryan Farish, Deuter, Tangerine Dream....
Beautiful, soothing, mostly instrumentals, beautiful piano, cello, violin, gorgeous! Some upbeat tunes also that I enjoy.
Just background music or with headphones this music “tickles my brain” as in almost a spiritual level.
Chanel 856 does repeat the same songs (not in the same order), its like they have a playlist of the very best songs and add some and drop some over time.
If you enjoyed today’s songs, you’ll enjoy tomorrow’s songs as well.
Don’t see “NEW AGE” and SHRIEK! It’s NOT what you imagine. It’s BEAUTIFUL.
Right now it is Stern and Stern by Deuter, just beautiful.
Can’t forget Miami Vice (and all of the music they threw in there, besides Jan Hammer).
