Time for another shot at this. I so enjoy doing these, and I love your comments. I’ve finished putting this post together, and I can see that even into my 20s, I was still a Pop Music lover, although New Age was catching up. Enjoy!
The Knack released a fantastic album in 1979, titled Get The Knack. This album contained extremely good music; My Sharona, That’s What the Little Girls do, and my favorite. From Get the Knack, here’s Good Girls Don’t:
I played a song from this album for 1983, but I have to do another — I loved these guys! The album, The Cars, and the song, You’re All I’ve Got Tonight:
I bought Parallel Lines, a 1978 release by the band Blondie, and once again, I was hooked. Many songs, like Heart of Glass, Sunday Girl, and Hanging on the Telephone, became hits — some more than others, but here’s my favorite. I wore that vinyl out playing One Way or Another:
I have a love-hate thing going for Joe Jackson, but by far my favorite of his came out in 1979; Here’s Is She Really Going Out With Him?:
I first heard ABBA in 1974, and for some reason, they grabbed my ear. I couldn’t decide which song to use, so I chose a familiar hit. Here’s ABBA with the original music video for Mamma Mia:
I’d forgotten all about The Knack!
I had, too, til I concentrated!
I love Joe Jackson! I hadn’t thought about him in a very long time!
Neither had I, until there was the intro on the blog. I’m glad — I love him too!
Although I was a bit older (I was very young in those years) when I found these songs – love them all, especially Blondie, and the Cars.
Me, too! I still listen to them. 😎
I love every one of these songs. Especially Blondie 🙂 At the same time, Electric Light Orchestra were played endlessly on my turntable!
I put them in the years I was in high school. Nineteen to 22 were a little bit more weird! 😎
