In a similar vein :

Life on Mars - David Bowie
Changes - Black Sabbath
Mama - Genesis (Phil Collins)
Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton
Romeo & Juliet - Dire Straits

Noticed noone mentioned (or maybe were too embarrassed
to mention REO Speedwagon - Keep on Lovin' You )
Ian - Grover '81-'84
Exiled to Mayo since 2005

Wow, Home thoughts from abroad, Clifford T Ward, that reminds me of Colin O'Conner from Clontarf. He bought me that record, one of my faves, and the first boyfriend to buy me music stuff!! or anything else for that matter. Thanks for the memories.

Going to go out and try to buy it again. (I still have it in my mams house back in dublin) Hope I can get it here in Perth.

I had to work hard to get a chance to score. My friends dad was a bouncer (cop from Raheny) and everytime he saw me dance in a slow set with a guy, he was over telling him that he wouldn't be allowed back in if he kissed me!! He thought it was funny to do that to all of his daughter's friends!!

We had to have a quiet word with her. He was ruining our chances week after week.

Funny though. He saved me from certain kiss of death sometimes!!!

I am so surprised that so many of you like Janis Ian as since I have been about 12 she is one of my top favorites and I sing most of her songs.  Bright lights and promises being one of my favorites - but sing at 17 most!

Have the album "Between The Lines".

Hard to believe it's over 30 years old
May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

Bright lights and promises is a great song - I don't know any girl who didn't give it socks for "take a little time, some memories and wine, loosen up the sucker by the bar".  Was thinkin you might be persuaded to do a few tunes after the dj's, but then remembered you're in the states I think? Maybe next time...
Cheers
