Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.

Dexy's wins. Somehow, some way. People must like this song more then me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let's take on some ghosts! Ray Parker Jr. - Ghostbusters themeThe song is referenced in both the films and the cartoon series. In Ghostbusters II, at one point in the movie, Peter Venkman says, "Kitten, I think what I'm saying is that sometimes, shit happens, someone has to deal with it, and who you gonna call?" In an episode of The Real Ghostbusters, the Ghostbusters are trapped in an alternate reality New York populated by ghosts, where a group of ghosts called the Peoplebusters go around the city catching human beings. When they are fleeing from the Peoplebusters, the GBs pass a ghost dining in an outdoor cafe, who witnesses the scene and sings "When there isn't something strange/in your neighborhood/Who you gonna call?/Peoplebusters!" The famous british band McFLY also preformed the song as it is one of the lead singer's (Tom Fletcher) favorite songs Professional Wrestler Jerry Lawler made a parody of the song in Memphis Wrestling entitled "Wimpbusters". Vs. A-Ha - Take On MeThe video, directed by Steve Barron, uses heavy rotoscoping. It begins as a blonde young woman (played by actress Bunty Bailey[1]) is in a London cafe, reading a comic book about competitive motorcycle racing. Bunty Bailey and Morten Harket in the "Take on Me" music video.The winner of the race, played by Morten Harket, the band's lead vocalist, winks at the girl; she raises her eyebrows. He then reaches his black and white cartoon hand through the comic book, pulling the girl into his animated world with his band in tow. Through a creative effect they both view each other through a comic frame which shows them (and the band members) alternately in live action and animation. The waitress, coming back for the bill and finding the girl missing, believes she has left without paying, and angrily crumples up the comic book and throws it into the wastepaper basket. As this happens, two of Harket's competitors in the race come back for revenge. One, wielding a monkey wrench, smashes the comic frame. Harket punches one of the thugs, and retreats with the girl into a maze created by the crumpled paper. Harket tears a hole so the girl can escape as he faces the two thugs. The entire coffee shop peers over the counter at the heavily ink-stained girl lying next to the wastepaper basket. The startled girl grabs the crumpled comic book and runs out of the coffee shop to her room, where she tries to smooth out the creases. One of the panels shows Harket lying unconscious, and she begins to cry. Harket then wakes up and starts hitting against the edges of a comic frame. Suddenly, he appears in the girl's room, and throws himself back and forth within a doorframe as he flashes between animated and live action. Eventually, he becomes the latter, and the girl and Harket embrace each other.

Ray Parkers tournament ends. So does Winstons, Peters, Egons, Janines, Rays, Slimers, Gozers.... ------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm pretty sure what C-Fed will vote for. Duran Duran - Hungry Like The WolfOver the years the song has been covered by many artists, including Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, Hole, Incubus, Buck O’ Nine, and Jebediah. In live performances the band Reel Big Fish jokingly claimed that the song was originally a Charlton Heston poem. On their June 18, 2006 in San Francisco, Gnarls Barkley performed dressed as chefs and opened the show with a cover of "Hungry Like the Wolf". The song has been used in the soundtracks of several movies, including Hot Dog… The Movie (1984), Small Sacrifices (1989 TV movie), Big Fat Liar (2002), and Old School (2003). The "Far Far Away Idol" contest at the end of the movie Shrek 2 featured a performance of the song by the Big Bad Wolf. It has also appeared in episodes of the television shows Keen Eddie, King of the Hill, Lizzie McGuire and The Shield. Vs. Oingo Boingo - Weird ScienceWeird Science is a song that was written and performed by Oingo Boingo. It is the theme song to the Weird Science film and television series. It was released on the film's soundtrack, as well as Oingo Boingo's 1985 album, Dead Man's Party in a different version. The version on the soundtrack, the recording released as a single, runs 3:45 long. The version on Dead Man's Party is a much different arrangement, running 6:00. The song was also released in a dance mix on a 12-inch single.
