Here a reggae/dance classic from the early 1980's. "Try Jah Love' by Third World.

Man I can't believe some of the kids on here were smarter than that to listen to the pre packaged not so great stuff of today's music of 2011.

The thread is more than 536 days old, I can't reply.

Oh ok. Still it's best for the mods to merge that old thread and this one by Casey IMO and call it favorite fast food or something. Just a thought.

Sorry a topic that been discussed. I wish the Mods could create a *permament sticky thread* on food since it's maybe after sports and politics the most popular thread on here.

Shifting gears here an old school smooth jazz/soft rock/R&B classic. It's called "rainforest' by Paul Hardcastle.

Every time i hear it especially it rains, i just think of rainforests lol.

Man I miss a station like CD101.9 in NYC(now rock station WYXP)

Shifting gears. Here a classic R&B/Disco hit from about 1979/'80 that my sister used to play on her old 45rpm record player. Way before MP3's, I-pod and even CD"s.

"Slave" Love just a little bit. Also been sampled by several Rap songs and remade by Keith Sweat.

Twisted Sister featuring Dee Snider and "we not going to take it anymore.'

There is a reason that Grandmaster Flash and the furious five were recently the first Rap/Hip-Hop performers ever elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They so underrated. Even Biggie, 2pac and many others listed them as a huge influence.

Here another classic not as well know as 'the message' an anti-drug song called 'white lies.' They sure dont make them like this anymore.:eek:

The Real Slim Shady is better than Juicy? Come on man, you'd have a better argument if you choose "Lose Yourself" rather than what is basically a clown song. Btw I'm more of a 2pac fan, but I like both artists, just pac a bit more. I love those songs about life 2pac put out when he was alive. Those other songs are a bit before my time so I'll listen to them when I get the chance.

It was a mistype trainfan. I did mean 'lose yourself'.

And my last song for the night. Early Hip Hop(1980's era) Pioneers "Fat Boys" and their biggest pop hit with a duet with the lengendary Beach Boys in one of the biggest hits of the summer of 1987. Man those were the days.

"Wipeout"

Hey might as well be the theme song for the Steelers, Bucs and Peguins the city's 3 big sports teams. Their colors are all Black, Yellow/Gold and White.

Not to get off topic but related guys since this is a song/music thread and not create a zillion new topics LOL wanted to ask this. With the 2010-'11 school year about to end(it done for the colleges already)always wanted to find what song was used in your school's graduation?

Even for those who not finished high school maybe list or put a song used for your Middle School graduation. Feel free to also any other songs but curious the theme for commencements especially in recent years.

Good choice of Gun and Roses Garbaldi. Finally we getting little closer in music choices LMAO. Anyhow they are perfect for driving on a long trip and need a 'pick me up' to awake you. Another G&R from me.

"Welcome to the Jungle"

Love this Pop-Country smash hit from the summer of 1993. Written and produced by the 'Eagles" Don Henley.

Restless Heart "Tell me what you dream.'

My final selection for this late Saturday Night. A classic song that was among the first Non-English songs ever to hit the top of the US pop charts. First is the version by 'A Taste of Honey' and the classic song. "Sukiyaki' A remake of the early 1960's #1 hit by Kyu Sakamoto. Later in the '90's, the pop group '4PM' would also have a hit of this classic.

2)The 1994 version by 4pm.
