Subject: If you could be an 80s singer who would you be?

Written By: Lennox_626 on 05/04/04 at 10:17 am

The title of this thread asks my question. You can have more than one if you like. I'd pick Annie Lennox (obviously) or Stevie Nicks. I love their voices and their dress senses.

Love Heather

What band was she in? Or was she just solo? I've heard of her though.

She went solo, I believe in late 80's, but before that she was with Miami Sound Machine.

Some of their hits were:

Congo
Rythm is Gonna Get You
Anything For You
Get On Your Feet

FAD GADGET
aka Frank Tovey

I loved what he said, and how he said it.  His social and political outlook most resembles my own today.

If you had asked me IN the '80s?  Morrissey, perhaps.  Maybe Martin Gore/David Gahan.

Oh, there are so many. For longevity I'd be MaDonna or Annie Lennox or something.
For favorites I'd be Susanna Hoffs, Debbie Harry, Debbie Gibson (there's something reminiscent about her :D) or  Pat Benatar.
But over all I'd probably go with Ann Wilson. She's pretty versatile and great.  ;)

Thanks for reminding me!  I have been meaning to pick that CD up for awhile now, I had all of her albums back in the 80s.  I'm also happy to see that she's out performing again.

If I say Morrissey, do I have to be gay?

Actually, I'd pick David Bowie, '70s or '80s.

Early on in the The Smiths he was described as ambivalent, celibate, and/or confused.  However, there was never much doubt he was gay.
As he gets older he starts to remind me of Tony Randall, who I was surpised WAS NOT gay!

Morrissey has...and I've said this before...never admitted to being one way or the other. We can speculate this all we want. I don't know what he is...but gay, bi, or straight...I don't care. I still love him! :) He'll probably take the answer to that question to his grave...
