Here is a nice classic:

I thought it was a great song. Maybe I should have posted video from one of those 80s macho hair bands and it would have gotten approval because, well, just because they are macho and that's what makes them cool, right? They even have a macho sound to their tune and songs. Or maybe a 70s song like "Sweet Home Alabama" and everybody would have been like "ohhhh yea, that song is cool and in, it's not old or not a song that goes down 'memory lane.'"
Well, anyway, I don't have the insecure jingoism of some people so, I am quite comfortable in enjoying a tune that kinda has a happy sound to it even though it's not quite as old or popular like a song "Sweet Home Alabama."

"Young Guns (Go for It)" is probably my favourite Wham! song.

You picked an annoying pop song that plagued my youth. Applause.
But on the plus side, George Michael likes to get stoned. On the not-quite-sure-about side: he seems to like public conveniences. A lot. Great choice. |

Well here is another classic song:
Back then it was video killed the radio star. Today, it's the internet that killed the video star (we got things like YouTube now instead of MTV, though MTV is still around today, doesn't seem like it is near as strong as it used to be back in the day). GM sings "Internet killed the video star...internet killed the video star!" Amazing how things change. I remember when MTV was huge and everybody tuned in to MTV to watch the latest music videos. I remember watching Madonna's "Material Girl" video on MTV when it first came out: I got a kick out of one of the lyrics of the song "Only boys that save their pennies make her rainy day." I thought that was pretty funny.

General, to be honest, I'm not sure why you post video links at all in the way that you choose to post them. If we want to watch a music video, we can choose our own.
IF you want to use a video to make a point within a thread--say, if the thread is about playing poker, and you post a video of a song named, "All In"--well, that makes sense. If you want to post a video that reflects a mood--say, you're really feeling blue, and you post a video of a song called, "I'm Feeling Blue"--then, that too makes sense. But to start a thread that says, "Hey, here's a song, dudes!", and posting "Wake Me Up"--that makes no sense to me at all. I really don't understand why you do it. I don't want to be so blunt as to ask, "who cares?", but in fact that is just what I feel. Who cares? It just seems random to me. It's like started a thread that says, "here's what I ate this morning." Good for you. Why should anyone care what you ate this morning? Tell us WHY. Tell us HOW. Tell us When. Give us something interesting to respond to. Your buddy Jeff. |

I can see a couple of good reasons to post videos in the way that GM does. One would be if it's a new or relatively unknown song, so we're being exposed to so,etching we're not familiar with. Then you maybe get a response like, "Hey, cool band/song...thanks for turning me on to that!" The other would be if it's maybe a song we know, but perhaps a forgotten one - a lost classic, like, "remember this, from back in the day?" The. Maybe you get responses like, "Man, I haven't heard that/thought about that band in years!"

Don't let my previous post mislead you, I am not really a big fan of Taylor's ...
Like the General, I like a lot of 70s / 80s brit music though. Such as Squeeze: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bTWF7eirJw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WngGeI9lnA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pblSU5M1d1Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQciegmLPAo Do you like tham, GM?

Actually, they don't sound too bad balducci. Thanks for sharing! I never listened to them much before or really knew who they were until you pointed them out. Seriously. It seems like they have a few good songs. I don't like all the songs you posted from them but there is one or two out of the bunch you posted that were OK.
Edit: Actually, I have heard this band before, but couldn't remember or know the name of the band. This song is probably well known by Squeeze:

It's not the same to post a music video for the purpose of sharing some of the interests you enjoy with your friends as opposed to "what you ate this morning?" You know, not everything has to have some kind of academic reason behind it. I'm not always trying to oppose or debate somebody or trying to make a point with somebody. Sometimes I just like to relax, have a good time and share some of my interests with my friends. Nothing wrong or out of the ordinary with that, well, unless your Jeff. There is so much more to life than always trying to have some kind of logical reason behind everything. The best parts of life are spent just relaxing and sharing with friends like your music interests or the board games you enjoy playing and such. Friends, family and loyalty are some of the most important things that really matter in life. It's OK to just to have some fun and share with friends like what kind of music you enjoy. They can certainly make fun of your music tastes, but that's what friends do sometimes.

Right. OK. I'm down with all that.
If we're gonna share 80s stuff, then I'll share this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOtRZOlE0WM |

You only live once stoneunhinged and you never know when you are going to go, so you don't want to take anything for granted. You want to appreciate the simple things that are sometimes taken for granted like a music video for example. You don't have to share 80s music with me. There are some non-80s music I really like too. Who knows, maybe you could broaden my horizons with something besides an 80s song. 80s music is what I grew up to when I was a kid. I had some happy memories from when I was a kid, so I am very fortunate to have a wonderful childhood.

Sorry that I didn't realize I wasn't appreciating the simple things in life. You're right. My apologies. I'll try to not take things for granted anymore.
But please watch the video I posted. I watched yours, so you should do me the honor of watching mine. I chose it for a reason. |

It's no big deal stone, I am listening to your video right now. It has a good tune so far. Just for me, I value people, friendship and loyalty. I wouldn't be much without friends. It's good to have friends. I don't take them for granted. I guess I am just a simple guy though not always. But I honestly take appreciation in things like art, people, friends and family and just small things.
Edit: I liked your song. Thanks for sharing stone! I really did like it.
