Based on the massive turnout for our #OldiesCountdown, many have asked if we can do decade specific one? Sure! Beginning with an #80sCountdown. Send me up to 28 80s songs. I’m mostly going radio hits but do what you wish. We’ll count em down someday soon. My list to follow below
When doves cry
Dancing in dark
Under pressure
Let’s dance
Modern love
Red corvette
Driver 8
Just like Heaven
Boys of summer
White wedding
Girlfriend in a coma
Blister in the sun
Don’t you want me
Tainted love
Touch of grey
We got the beat
Masquerade
You can call me al
Train in vain
Save it for later
Town called malice
Time after time
Into the groove
The waiting
Private Idaho
Sherry darling
Don’t change
Whole of the moon
So Central Rain
FYI I didn’t include actual faves from Husker Du/ X/ Replacements/ Dinosaur Jr/ Fugazi because I’m trying to replicate what an actual 80s countdown on the radio might sound like. But feel free to do whatever you wish. I’m not the music police. Damn I forgot The Police
I can already tell our #80sCountdown will be one for the ages. One hour into the voting and I’m seeing tons of surprises. Keep ‘em coming!!
Shoot I forgot You Might Think & Back on the Chain Gang. Okay you may go up to 30 selections.

The recent, sad passings of Lance Kerwin and Adam Rich have got me thinking of how quickly time is passing. And thinking a lot about the 1970’s. This thread is a quick photo salute to some of my other favorite 70’s figures, real or fictional. Enjoy. 🤟 Image

There is no sports team I love more than #USMNT. And I’ve never been less excited for a World Cup, because of Gregg Berhalter’s arrogance & stubbornness. 3 years in & he’s still basing player selection around his system & not the other way around. Setting this team up to fail. 🇺🇸
Insistence on playing a “high line” w/o the players to do it. Even worse, an adherence to “playing out of the back” long after we assumed we were done with that. Long/ Zimmerman are not the CBs for that. If you insist on it, call up Brooks & Ream. What a disaster this close to WC
Jordan Pefok’s the most obvious case in point. For an entire qualifying cycle the narrative has been “we don’t have a 9 who can score.” Suddenly, an American is lighting up the Bundesliga but GB won’t call him. Doesn’t fit his “system.” All he does is score goals & assist on them

Me: I like to use Twitter to provide real time commentary on current events as their happening.

Also Me: I can’t believe more people aren’t following my super timely thread on “60’s Pop Bands appearing on 60’s Sitcoms.” 😩😩
I was today years old when I learned about:

The Buffalo Springfield on Mannix

Or that my beloved Paul Revere & the Raiders were on Batman.

How about I combine 2 of my favorite topics— 60s pop and 60s tv?

Here are some of my favorite TV appearances by 60s musical acts.

Beginning, of course, with Boyce & Hart on Bewitched.

Which naturally must be followed up by:

Boyce & Hart on I Dream of Jeannie

And both of those were predated by:

Chad & Jeremy on the Patty Duke Show
