What are you listening to?
Belinda Carlisle - You're Nothing Without Me (1991) -- uptempo, driving poprock track
David Lanz - Reverie (1993) - relaxing new age piano instrumental
Benjamin Orr - Stay The Night (1986) - well-crafted poprock track
These songs all remind me of my sweetheart from much younger days. She was beautiful and she would play the piano and sing to me.
So, what is everyone else listening to? 🙂

WINDHAND - Diablerie - is my flavour of the month. It's a doom metal song and it's not going to be everyones cup of tea.https://youtu.be/2JhVTnU8MnI
Nik kershaw - Wouldn't it be good is an old classic I keep coming back to. I must have been 10years when it came out!?https://youtu.be/cTLTG4FTNBQ

Anni-Frid Lyngstad (Frida) - I Know There's Something Going On
Cool euro-rock track from Frida of Abba in 1982. Phil Collins produced the song, played drums, and added backing vocals.
Kate Bush - Experiment IV
A cool song from 1986 with a definitive 80s sound. I believe the video was partially banned in the UK at the time due to the "violent" theme. By today's standards, it's tame.
Robert Plant - Heaven Knows
Robert Plant had a few mainstream rock hits in the 80s, well after his Led Zeppelin days with Jimmy Page. This track from 1988 was one of his solo hits. Interesting lyrics!

Francis Cabrel - Samedi soir sur la terre (Saturday night on earth). So atmospheric. It helps to know French but even without it, it's wonderful. (It's just about two people meeting and the inevitability of what follows). And when the sax comes in near the end....! I keep coming back to this song.

Quarterflash - Harden My Heart
Catchy rock track from 1981 with cool sax solos from the lead singer, Rindy Ross.
Pat Methany Group - [It's Just] Talk
Uptempo new age track from 1987. This song was routinely featured on The Weather Channel while the local forecast rolled on the screen. LOL!
Dave Brubeck - Take Five
Classic jazz tune from Dave Brubeck. I loved listening to this song when my girlfriend and I would sometimes drive along the California coast from Ventura to Santa Barbara in August of 1993 late at night with the windows down. The summer temperatures were always very chilly by the ocean at night! Good times and good memories.
