Young'un. So? That's still my era and I love the songs from that era. Ask me what songs I like this year. You'll be shocked.  | |

 Really? I didn't know you were that young. You and I are around the same age, had no idea. I thought you were at least in your 30's lol. Damn."And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ

I can't even dig most of the "newer artists" out there. Fuck a ringtone.  Give me a great pop/soul/R&B/rock/funk/whatever joint and I'm cool.  | |

one of the best years ever in pop music and the 80's. Most of the first music I ever knew was from 1982/83 and up | |

Yeah I feel the same way. I'm not really feeling most of these newer artists out today, which is why I mostly listen to old school music. I almost never listen to the radio anymore. I really think I was born in the wrong era lol."And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ

I listen to the Sirius Big 80s Top 40 each week and for this week in 1984, the numbers were really different (of course, maybe Feb 4th was a different week). I didn't hear the whole thing but I think "Pink Houses" was 13 and "Break My Stride" was #2. I'm starting to wonder what chart methodology they use since last week they said the number one song was Taylor Dayne's "Don't Rush Me"...but that peaked at 2 according to Billboard. | |

They could be using the Cashbox chart. On the Hot 100, Break My Stride peaked at #5. I took this straight off the Billboard chart from this book... | |

And saw James Brown just WHEN he got HOT! | |

It must have been Mellencamp at 13 with Madonna "Holiday" right behind. Very cool. Must be going off Cashbox, then. And I did hear that "Curly Shuffle" song! By any chance was it tied into that "Stoogemania" movie from the eighties? | |
