Yeah, those were the damn days. I don't believe MTV spoiled everything because just look at some of the fabulous music that made a big impact back then on the station. The corporate mentality fucked everything up.

CinisterCee said:

Yes, but Money Changes Everything was eighty-five kickin' live

Am I the one here that digs "The Goonis 'R' Good Enough"?

MikeMatronik said:

It's a cute song. Long ass video though.

This thread was a nice surprise.

Cyndi is rarely meantioned here at the org. She's very underrated, both as a songwriter and as an singer and interpreter.

MikeMatronik said:

Love love love it! If it's not my favorite song of hers, it's definitely in the top 3.

Good enough for you! Good enough for me! It's goood enough...

Yes but Cyndi didn't write quite a few of her defintive songs ("True Colors", "Girls Just Want To Have Fun", "I Drove All Night"). It would be hard to find Madonna's defintive songs that she wasn't a writer of. Cyndi's a great writer, though. "Hat Full of Stars" might be one of the most beautiful songs ever!

Does anyone here have her "The Great Cyndi Lauper" import boxed set. It's super cheap at Best Buy (probably on their site as well)...Only $13.99 for three discs that includes all of her hits and super rarer hits like "Goonies R Good Enough" and "Hole In My Heart (That Goes All the Way To China)". Gotta get that if you don't have it!

VinnyM27 said:

I've got that set and it's tight!

VinnyM27 said:

yep that 's correct.

But I don't see madonna writting songs like The Ballad of Joe & Cleo and Sally's Pigeons.

Or even one of my personnal anthems that is "You don't know"

Posting so much at the org is making me a madonna hater day by day!

come on now...giving credit to madge for songwriting is like giving credit to beyonce.

sosgemini said:

Madonna gave the world songs like Jimmy Jimmy

MikeMatronik said:

i dont mean that as a diss to madge but come on now folks...as much as i love janet no way in hell do i consider her a songwriter. artist got hip to cash flow and power game a long time ago.

but cyndi, i've seen cyndi sit down with a guitar and talk about the craft of songwriting....i've seen madge with a guitar too...but my eyes and ears started to bleed and that was that.

i don't much care for tracks 2, 8, 9, and 10 on cyndi's record. i love every trck on madonna's record. madonna gets my vote.

"bitch, i will BE ignorant all over your ass"

i have to go with madonna, i use to love that album

CinisterCee said:

"Do I look like I give a FUCK?? Cuz I don't!"

I love them both.

I find it funny that the critics never seem to get things right. They said Cyndi would have the larger impact over Madonna, That Debbie Gibson would outlast Tiffany and Kylie and that Britney was going to be the next Madonna and Christina would have to settle for second best.

ehuffnsd said:

Did Tiffany last?

My vote goes to Cyndi solely because "She So Unusual" was the 1st or 2nd tape that I owned, with the other one being Duran Duran's "Rio."

GangstaFam said:

Is Christina the next Madonna?

GangstaFam said:

she didn't but i believe your brother just saw Kylie 4 times

CinisterCee said:

there is only one Madonna, Christina will last a bit longer than Britney

ehuffnsd said:

Time will tell.

ehuffnsd said:

5. He's psycho like that.

GangstaFam said:

i wish i could have seen her once

ehuffnsd said:

Isn't she going to the UK? It's usually cheap to get flights there this time of year.

GangstaFam said:

she is there now, but i'm low on vacation time til our fiscal year starts in march

i just have to plan for a tour next year and bank my time accordingly
