1981 PLAYLIST

[RJhog]

A quick word about the 1981 playlist. This is an edited blog entry. I originally did a 1981 playlist before I decided to do playlists for all of the 70’s and 80’s, so here I have just changed a few songs and created this new playlist. I have 2 debuts on the list. The first is Stevie Nicks solo debut, “Bella Donna”. The second is Motley Crue’s “Too Fast For Love”. One of the songs I added was “Live Wire”, which is taken from that album. That’s a good song. I also added “On The Loose” by Saga. Kiss released the highly acclaimed “Music From “The Elder””. Most people, even Kiss fans, do not like that album, but I like it. And finally, I included “Lady Strange” by Def Leppard. This is a song I had never heard until recently. I heard it on XM radio and went out and bought the CD. The playlist is:

1. Live Wire – Motley Crue (Too Fast For Love)
2. Unchained – Van Halen (Fair Warning)
3. A Woman In Love (It’s Not Me) – Tom Petty (Hard Promises)
4. On The Loose – Saga (Worlds Apart)
5. Jessie’s Girl – Rick Springfield (Working Class Dog)
6. I’ll Fall In Love Again – Sammy Hagar (Standing Hampton)
7. Too Much Time On My Hands – Styx (Paradise Theater)
8. Fire And Ice – Pat Benatar (Precious Time)
9. Wild-Eyed Southern Boys - .38 Special (Wild-Eyed Southern Boys)
10. Tom Sawyer – Rush (Moving Pictures)
11. Only You – Kiss (Music From “The Elder”)
12. Stranger – Jefferson Starship (Modern Times)
13. Lady Strange – Def Leppard (High ‘N’ Dry)
14. Take Me To The Top – Loverboy (Get Lucky)
15. Still They Ride – Journey (Escape)
16. Angel In Blue – J. Geils Band (Freeze Frame)
17. Urgent – Foreigner (4)
18. Edge Of Seventeen – Stevie Nicks (Bella Donna)
19. Talk To Ya Later – The Tubes (The Completion Backward Principle)
20. In The Dark – Billy Squier (Don’t Say No)
21. You Better You Bet – The Who (Face Dances)

Man, I have to say, that is some good music. I have it on my music player if you would like to hear it…
