VH1's Bands Reunited

Anthony · 03-16-2006, 03:48 AM

I've watched some of these over the past year or so, one of my fave ones was ABC getting back together. That's been eclipsed now by "A Flock Of Seagulls", man that really brought me back.

It really shows, that time does indeed catch up to everyone.

ABC did a decent cover....

The lead singer was shown in his videos wearing gucci loafers...a man of excellent taste obviously

Sparky? I don't even know how to respond to that....

but they are all old

I caught "The Knack" on a show where they bring back 80's acts and the audience votes their performance.

Hell if I can remember the show, but I will say that when they played My Sharona, they could still rock!

It's another hit by ABC, silly wabbit!

Probably from the same album, too.

They did Haricut 100, really awesome show. I'd love for them to do aHa, see how Morten turned out, GoWest was Wham before Wham was the shit. Proclaimers are still paying I believe. Never got into Japan, but would love to see them reunited.

I'm wondering if VH1 is going to put this on DVD. I'd buy everyone of them.

Forgot to mention, Dramarama was also on last night. They still play this song "Anything" on the radio today.

Shit, kinda reminds me of my ex, actually.

Nickatilynx · 03-17-2006, 11:31 AM

The "Talking Heads " always remind me of your ex.....

;-))

I am a *huge* "The Knack" fan. Had them on vinyl, of course, then got the CD. Love to blast it.

One of the many things I adore about one of my daughters is that she's a huge 80's fan. It's always nice to share something like "Good Girls Don't...But I Do" with one of your kids.

Yes, I'm old and yes, I know who just about all these people are.

Don't forget Men Without Hats. Everyone remembers the Safety Dance but they had an album called "Pop Goes The World" around 86 or 87 that was amazing. The title track was a minor hit, but whole thing was a concept album about the end of the world. It's really cool. A little dated to listen to now, but is still an amazing recording from beginning to end.

LOL! Yeah, sometimes it was followed by the Crouching Over In Agony Dance.
