>Ive never got into 80's rock. I stopped with early-mid 70's rock..then the disco took over. Whenever I want to listen to something, I go back to my collection and rediscover stuff like Taste/Rory Gallagher, Faces/Small Faces, Roy Buchanan etc.

Never was much on 80's music myself, except the intro of electronic stuff. I'm more into reggae, techno, clssical, opera, female voice, anything with a pleasant melody. On top of this I have the love of all my experiences since childhood. So called "Brit pop" leaves me cold (besides, it's no different from anything before it - heard it all before).

American "RACK", I can't stand, esp. anything with an a capello chorus in the middle, and that goes up an octave/key thereafter (e.g. "Livin' on a Prayer")

>So you like the Cheeky girls?:) lol. I heard they are originally from a romanian city.

Did you know they were first seen on "Superstar" or "X Factor" - whichever, with Simon Cowell. They were rejected out of hand but within a week or 2 were already filtering their way onto TV, esp. kids' Saturday morning shows, even before the contest finished.
