Listen to the mandolin raaaaaa-ai-ain, oooooh, listen to the music on the raaain

A confession:
I love bad soft rock, the kind from the 80s where they have the synthesizer and the fake drums. Bruce Hornsby, Marc Cohn, Billy Joel, even the grimmer moments of Randy Newman's Land of Dreams album. (The Master Man and Baby J? What were you thinking, Randy?) Even FOREIGNER. Okay, I can only stand to listen to "I Wanna Know What Love Is" in small doses. But still. I should probably be put in an institution.
. . . "Tell me, are you a Christian, child?" And I said: "Ma'am, I am tonight!"
Oooh, this is even better: Darlin', I don't know why I go to extremes!

Edit, 7;57 PM: Also "Don't Fear the Reaper." More cowbell!

I totally understand; that's the music of our childhood!
I heard "Silver Thunderbird" (Marc Cohn) in Safway today, and it definitely brought me back.
"Don't Fear the Reaper" is indeed awesome, I'm not ashamed to admit. ;o)

Sadly, I hit the Billy Joel/Bruce Hornsby phase in junior high . . .

Childhood, early teens, same difference.
I don't think I've ever heard Bruce Hornsby...

You totally have. "The Way It Is"? They ripped off the piano part for the Tupac song? "Ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da, that's just the way it is"?

Billy Joel rules! And in a good way, biatch!

You all are just too young to appreciate the subtle rhythms of the '80's.
