Yeah...I'm kind of a romantic softie sometimes!

;-)

Was reminded of this group recently. Looked up the vid., & forgot how much I liked this kinda stuff back in the 80's!
(besides all my usual thunderous Rock & Hairband stuff!!)

Hope you Ladies like this?!

    I'll admit it -- that was among my cassettes (you do the math).

    This was one of my favorites way back when!

    OMG - that entire album is one of my favorites - most seductive music e.v.e.r. Turn the lights down low, light a candle or two, pour a glass of wine and let the music fill your brain.

    'scuse me. I need a cold shower.

    I can't really explain why....especially since I grew up farming...that this well-dressed/upscale type of British music appealed to me so!?!?!?
    Groups like this Roxy-Music, ABC, etc., seemed so "cool" & "stylish", as the 80's began. Then "Miami-Vice" started, and I kinda was into that whole scene in college!

    Periodically though...had to return to my "roots", & let the cannons fire with AC/DC!! "For those about to ROCK..."

    I have never heard of this song....but the 80's were kind of a blur for me....I had 3 kids in quick succession. When I think of 80's music I pretty much just remember Madonna, Blondie and Phil Collins.

    Oh good, I'm not the only one. I've never heard that song before. I wasn't tied down with kids in the 80's so that not why. I was out and about and going dancing on work nights and still getting to work by 7 am the next morning. Ah, youth...how I miss it.

    I remember their show at the Baltimore Civic Center shortly after the Avalon album was released. Overheard comment during "More Than This" from a nearby woman: "I'm not used to hearing this with my clothes on"....

    When I saw the post title, I immediately thought Jersey shore, Faron!

    Not sure about the song, but wow, those shoes! Fabulous. :)

    "Not used to hearing this with my clothes on....!"

    WOW! Never thought these kind of responses would be raised!

    I guess maybe there have been some "pleasant experiences" associated with this song...;-)

    Pleasant experiences - yeah, that's what we'll call it ;-)

    Listen to this with someone you you love ....... and as I said before, turn the lights down low, light a candle or two, pour a glass of wine and let the music fill your brain.
