Music nostalgia

[royalmarriage]

On the drive home from work last night, I was listening to our* "Every Number One Ever" collection, the 1987 section, which reminded me of two things:

a.) How much I utterly adore Starship's Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now, especially the guitar solo. So shoot me.

b.) That if you listen to every number one from 1987, sooner or later (track 15, if it's in chronological order) you're going to get Rick-rolled.

*ahem*

David.






*Mine and Tim's. Augmented with all the double A-sides and EP tracks that normally get missed off such collections.

I'd just like to point out that Viv and I were married on 19 Sep 1987, so every time anyone decides to play the "what was number one when you were born? / what was number one when you got married?" game, they get rickrolled too.

*g* Rather makes me pine for the days before the Rick-Rolling phenomenon, when it was just a pleasant little pop song... *wistful*

I love 80s pop. :)
And Starship's 'Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now' is AWESOME. :D

I love 80s pop. :)

Yup. Can't get enough of it here.

And I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves Nothing's Gonna Stop Us...

RE: 1987 number 1s-on the day that I was born, Pet Shop Boys were number 1 with It's a Sin. There were so many awesome songs in my birth year =D That Starship song is AWESOME though, I adore it. My mum once said that when she was in hospital having me, the radio was playing that and You're the Voice by John Farnham a lot, and those are two of my favourite songs now =P

As a Pet Shop Boys fan, I heartily approve of your decision to be born at that particular time!

Oh, You're the Voice - that's one I don't hear much nowadays, but yes, gorgeous song.

Have you seen last night's Merlin - Secrets and Magic yet?

Because You're the Voice is featured quite extensively...

So I gather ;-) Not seen it as yet, but I definitely will be doing!
