hollowseal33 said::zavid: :zavid: Just irritating—like listening to Hare Krishna or Husker Du. Blah. She really had potential, though.
I actually liked it. "Baby Song" is short enough that nothing really hits you too hard in the face. Plus, you've got Flexible Flyer coming up right after it—it’s such a gorgeous contrast. 😬
Here's another one that's just plain grating:
Don't call me no no no no I wish I could unsee this mess 😠
I actually have a few compilations like this lying around—they tend to be pretty useful depending on the vibe of the party 😳 Here’s a breakdown of what’s included:
Eddy Grant - Electric Avenue Delegation - Put a little love on me Madchester hits Soup Dragons - I'm Free EMF - Unbelievable Diana Ross - Upside down Donna Summer - Hot stuff Hot chocolate - You Sexy thing Bow wow wow - I Want candy Bow wow wow - do you wanna hold me Average White band - Play that funky Music White Boy Ian Dury - Sex , drugs and rock and roll Jacksons - Blame it on The Boogie Dead or Alive - You spin me around like a record Cameo - Word up Chic - Good Times Duran Duran - Girls on film Kaja goo goo - Too shy Nena - 99 luftbaloons Parliament - Mothership connection Parliament - P funk MC Mike & DJ Sven - Holiday Rap Funkytown Sly & the Family Stone - Dance to the Music Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock - It takes two Sister Sledge - We are family George McCrae - Rock Your Baby Gap band - Big Fun Tina Charles - I Love to Love Man at work - Down under Bronksi beat - Smalltown Boy De la Soul - The magic number Dexy's Midnight Runner - Come on Eileen Aha - Take me on Prince - Alphabet street Thomas Dolby - Hyperactive
And so on. For me, this kind of stuff 😍 🙂 🙂 🙂
And anyone saying otherwise is just being slanderous and lying—clearly they haven't a clue 😁
The Dictators - Cars & girls Kinks - Cadillac Animals - Baby let me take you home Animals - We gotta get out of this place Film - Take Me Out of This Town Film - Modern Girl Velvet Underground - Run run run Rancid - Olympia WA Videosex - Drive me on a distant train😁 An 80s band🙏 and hit - Pu-pu-pu-traveling😛
I honestly wish I could send everyone singing about heroin, trips, and weed (seriously?!) straight to rehab along with some old-school Tom Zdravković—maybe then they’d stop leading the kids down the wrong path 😠
It’s basically impossible to answer this one. Personally, I’ve always been more drawn to that whole seventies American scene than anything coming out of the UK—though, honestly, The Clash are in a league of their own. So, how am I even supposed to vote now? 🙂

If you ask me, it’s a complete joke 😈 — Mrle va Haag! (And he might just drag en faca down with him, too 🙂 )
Adding some entries to the 80s time capsule—just so we don't forget them 😁
Thomas Dolby - Hyperactive! Visage - Fade to Grey 🙏 🙏 🙏 A-ha - Take on Me Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy Bronski Beat - I Feel Love Paul Hardcastle - 19 Nena - 99 Luftballons Sigue Sigue Sputnik - Love Missile F1-11 Prince - Alphabet Street Young Cannibals - She Drives Me Crazy Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come on Eileen Rick Astley - I Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me Yazoo - Don't Go The Human League - Don't You Want Me Spandau Ballet - Gold
... Just wanted to throw in a few of those massive hits 🙏 And honestly, if I started listing all the deep cuts, this thread would be miles long 😳
Jesse Wells8 said:1. Since you're busy listing the absolute worst music in history—and by that, I mean 80s mainstream—some idiot decided they had to chime in and agree with you:
2. Rick Astley
1. Honestly, 80s mainstream was incredible!
2. As for Rick Astley—sit down, buddy. 😁
He had some seriously great hits: Never Gonna Give You Up, Together Forever, and Whenever You Need Somebody. 😁
BTW, does anyone else remember Thomas Dolby? The man was a total legend.
Does anyone happen to have a digital copy of Rock and Roll for Kids by the Government and Gilet? For those who aren't familiar, it’s basically rock versions of hits from the Hummingbird kids' choir (think stuff like "Vući vući bubo lenja" and such)
It's a blast of an album—if anyone has it, I'd be happy to trade a few beers for it 😁
swiftmaker20 said:You know as well as I do that kids will push back against their parents on just about anything—so that option is definitely looking like a real possibility. 😁
So, it looks like it’s finally time to stock up on some ultra-right-wing folk songs—otherwise, your son is probably just going to end up listening to The Beatles. 😁 👍
Look, you’ve got it all wrong. The Beatles are essentially a reactionary group at heart, and they have this potentially damaging effect on the development of a young, self-governing individual. They don't exactly follow any established political platform—far from it. In several of their tracks—take "Honey Eyes," "Above the City," or "Detroit," for instance—they openly or subtly glorify drug use. Then there's the way they flirt with that reactionary existentialist philosophy across a whole string of songs like "We Are Drowning," "Blue and Green," "USA," "Be Yourself," or "Wall." It’s worth noting that even Jean-Paul Sartre eventually recognized the sheer weight of the ideas put forward by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. But the worst part? In numerous songs, they lean into pagan mythology and religious worldviews—think "Synchro," "Shrine," or "Water"—essentially offering up an "opium for the masses" (to borrow Vladimir Lenin's take on religion), only this time, it's aimed squarely at the youth.
It’s pretty obvious that when you're looking at a group like The Beatles, there needs to be some kind of ideological and political distinction—they really need to pick a side and stand on a clear platform. Our youth doesn't need that kind of reactionary music cluttering up their heads.
Anthony Reyes5 said:No way—the hedgehog is a total pacifist, despite all that patriotism—or rather, what’s actually just some undercover, ultra-right-wing nationalism.
That's interesting. We actually had a similar debate recently about whether hedgehogs are right-wingers or anarchists. I was arguing they were definitely right-wing—basically embodying that "get off my lawn" redneck spirit. 😬 😁 I also played the angle that the hedgehog is a metaphor for how we used to defend ourselves against the old US Army—that classic "not one inch of this soil" mentality. 🙄 😁 Predictably, the whole discussion ended up spiraling out of control. 🙄
Anyway, my kid absolutely loves Hedgehog's House, and I'm not going to rob him of that joy—even if there's a slight risk it might mess with my carefully laid-out parenting plan. If one day my little guy rolls up to the house wearing an Armada jersey and blasting Tomson's CDs, I'll know exactly which hedgehog to blame. 🙄 😁
I used to run up to twenty-three miles, but then that post-grad crisis absolutely wrecked me. 🙄 For the most part, I never bothered bringing a Walkman along on my runs—mostly because I lived right near this massive forest where you really had to stay sharp and keep your eyes peeled, given all the potential hazards lurking around...
Nowadays, when I'm feeling a surge of restless energy, I'll throw in some push-ups at home or carry my wife around the room—and that's when I'll blast Misfits, Spencer, Nine Pound Hammer, Ramonse, Buzzcocks, some random ska-punk nonsense, things like that. Though, honestly, I listen to them even when I'm not doing push-ups. 🙄
I finally moved past that whole crn Franjo phase and spent most of my time spinning paraf—all three albums, actually. 👍
Other stuff I had on repeat:
Grateful dead - American beauty Wilco - Summerteeth Wilco - Summerteeth Antonio Carlos Jobim - some kind of best of (honestly, jazz isn't usually my thing, but this was Mom's choice) Ella Fitzgerald - same deal as the Jobim stuff
Then there was also Bodycount :2up: and Suicidal Tendencies :2up: 🙄
And whenever we were driving back and forth, we'd blast Idol and some of those punk-reggae-ska-dub compilations I used to put together. 🎉
