If you could that would be great Mark, thanks. I used to dance 'round my bedroom to it! (I'd have been 15! :blush:)

I don't have to imagine. I was 5 in 1977, and also went to see it at the cinema . . . although it was in Dudley :lol:

I've just seen the actual cover for the 500 Miles single today and I think all of ours are far better. 'D' should send their design to them and get some freelance work!

I think what I was trying to get at was, although 1987 may not have been the heyday of 80s commercial music, as the decade was drawing to a close it is still a good snapshot of what had come before and gives a sense of moving on to somewhere else. Thisispop's post of songs from the year that were covers, re-issues, or from film and TV surely helps to demonstrate that this was the end of an era, taking stock and looking back, solidifying in preparation to move on. I probably did not express this very well earlier, but that is probably because coming into Retro and Culture Box is quite scary - so I end up just saying a couple of things that maybe don't get the point across, and then I leg it.

Oh yes, I see now, you're right and I'm wrong, how silly of me to have my own individual perspective when your opinion is actually fact. What would be the put in wasting my time putting any more substance into what I say in places like here when it would still get shot down in flames. It's this kind of stuff that makes Culture Box and Retro elitist - no wonder it's much more fun to play in the lounge. And I'd rather be a big kid with an emotional response to music, thanks, than a soul-less catalogue of facts and figures. *note to self - own thoughts and feelings aren't important*

I didn't know about the wristbands - although I have seen the Whatever It Takes mugs before. The Killers 'Smile Like You Mean It' is still sold out - but I am gonna go for David Bowie's 'Peace thru Art'. Thanks for posting.

You've got 2 holes in the head Mikey.

First place I looked was youtube and nothing. All I could find on the net was an entry in someone's blog saying they have it and would send it by PM. Why, do you have it? Or do you have Sonic Doom Joy?

Oh, hang on . . . "every point on the journey is a destination" . . . that's a bit more constructive than :zzz: Last time I looked, the 80s was a WHOLE DECADE. Funny that. Btw, does anybody actually have Sonic Boom Boy? I've looked on the net and nothing, without having to PM some random person.

I disagree. Still a fun transition period with merit :zzz:

Eagerly awaited. I'm enjoying the repeats atm.

Not a poor chart at all. Takes me back! I loved Moonlighting, and bought the Bruce Willis album off the back of it! Blow Monkeys! Westworld! Mel & Kim! and more. For me this has some stuff that would hold up as good examples of late 80's stuff and a lot of them have elements typical of the era, even though they might not be the first ones you'd think of. I'm gonna try and find Sonic Boom Boy somewhere - I loved it! Taya-taya-taya-taya-te-te-te-taya-taya-taya-take or leave it but please believe it we ain't never gonna be respectable! :dance:

That's getter!

Check your topic title. It's your habit of slipping up or across on the keyboard, so you get the letter next to the one you want!

I was under the illusion that ALL boys HAVE TO watch Star Wars as a rite of passage and as an integral part of their journey into adulthood?

I'm Bonna be hitting the wrong key, Mikey?

D = 10 E = 8 C = 6 F = 4 G = 2

Will get the ones on BBC3. Thanks for the reminder. P!$$ funny.

Well you know I like to give input. Nice it's appreciated.

I know like you're the boss and everything, but could you not score it 10,8,6,4,2 . . . that way the top one still gets ten, and the rest of us don't get penalised for the low number of entries??? Just a suggestion.

I hope so. Either I've just voted somewhere else for Nelly over Joss Stone, or I am slowly losing it.

I didn't know this! I remember him from a coffee advert that was infamous at the time because when he shook his hand full of coffee beans it was like the sign language for w***er. Also, he was cockney rhyming slang well before James Blunt ever came along. RIP

Nelly then I take it.

You were gonna finish before I'd come Mikey? http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u278/snowbabyneedslove/500milesborder.jpg
