Blasphemy!!

Sorry I don't care for them much, their sound is just too off-beat for me. There is one major exception though and that's Mighty Wings, that song is great!

Maybe it was a little harsh to name them among Bros and NKOTB, but as far as bands within the rock genre go, they are my very least favourite 80s group.

As big as Journey was, and REO too, no one came close to Bruce Springsteen. He sold more albums and played to more people than any act in the decade. U2 was up there as well.

I don't think Bobby McFerrin has been said yet.

Don't worry... be Happy. :roll:

I would bet that Madonna was up there as well, unfortunately.

I have known who they are for about 4-5 years. I had bought some Dr. Demento novely cd's, because I like an odd song or 10......

Did you know that Steve P. sang on a few songs with them ( and no, they weren't novelty songs ! )

Now, I am off to because my night meds make me loopy.

Dr. Demento! I haven't heard that name in a while! I remember listening to his shows on Sunday nights, what a nutty guy! Fish Heads, and They're Coming to Take Me Away (don't know if that's the name of it)....what other songs did he play?

MSR,

I will burn you my 20th anniversary copy of Dr. Demento and The Very Best Of Dr. Demento. PM me with your address.

There are lots of songs that crack me up on these discs. One of them is called "Wet Dream" by Kip Addotta......... :lol:
