+ All You Get From Love is a Love Song, Road Ode, (Want You) Back In My Life Again....

OMG!! Someone else who loves them!!

Karen rocks my socks. Both their solo efforts weren't bad either.

My parents can't stand them, mind you they hate pretty much all my music (the only thing we agree on is ELO).

Anyone heard of the Travelling Wilburys? Fabulous stuff. Love 'Not Alone Anymore'.

[FreakTrigger]

Seeing as the single album my parents own is Steve Earl's Copperhead Road, I'll have to say that my favourite "Golden oldie" is Glenn miller.

Marvellous musician and so incredibly far ahead of his time that it simply boggles the mind.

And as for all you people naming songs from the '80's... *shakes head*
