Richie Valens:

 

[nwhoopfan]

Some very early Grimes. I guess she was always odd, but started out small time before going intergalactic levels of weirdness.

 

[Bigboote]

I just read David Thomas’s obit. Here’s one of Pere Ubu’s more accessible songs, which fits this thread:

 

[Bigboote]

The Kinks’ patriotic homage

 

[64Zcode]

I saw this back when MTV actually played music videos and Michael was an unstoppable force.
Things change.....
Michael Jackson - Dirty Diana

 

[nwhoopfan]

I hope I don't lose all street cred for posting a song by Winger. Easy to make fun of, but I actually do kinda like some of their songs.

Love this song. I actually was dating a girl named Donna when this came out.

[TerpWomenFan]

One of the saddest songs ever. And a true story.

 

[Bigboote]

I had trouble finding this one because I'd remembered it being by Dolly Parton, but it's Janis Ian.

 

[Dove]

Love this song. I actually was dating a girl named Donna when this came out.

Debarge...my guilty pleasure way back when.

 

[nwhoopfan]

How did I not think of this til now (with help from another song w/ the same title)? One of my favorite groups singing a song named after one of my favorite singers.

 

[SalinasV]

Cool. I'm a long long time Emmylou fan and I hadn't heard this before.

 

[Dove]

 

[Hoops66]

Hauntingly beautiful song from Edgar Allen Poe's poem.

 

[Lafayette]

Big fan of both Leonard Cohen's "So Long Marianne" and Colin Blunstone's "Caroline Goodbye"

Caroline Munro - actress who Blunstone dated before her career blew up (in a good way)
Marianne Ihlan - was Leonard's muse on the Greek Island Hydra

 

[Hoops66]

Anyone else remember this one?

 

[JDuro]

Weird, sad song about a guy visited by ghost of a deceased girl.

 

[JDuro]

Obscure album track off New Edition's second album.

 

[Hoops66]

This one did rock...still does. (Ollie V is a girl BTW)

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Obscure album track off New Edition's second album.

The Temptations also have a song Mary Ann.
