Oh yes Im a robert palmer fan---when he was with the Power station--man that was the shit----

None. It's a different time, and too different from today's bullshit. Put on Rainforest or Rockit, half the younger crowd will be like "what the hell is this", and the other half may nod their heads a little, and maybe a couple b-boys will throw down and draw attention.

The older generation may appreciate it, more.


I think Lean on Me may have the most potential to be a present day hit. Everybody knows that song.

Rainforest and Rockit have been some of my favorite tracks since I was 3. I'm sure they'd be a hit with me, today. I like electro hip-hop.

 

Post the songs - not the links...most of us arent gonna bother with a link... use the youtube icon.

 

how do you do that ? I tried to do it and it would not come up. I put up the symbolds and inserted as so [/YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6H9Y1H_RRg[/YOUTUBE] but it would not come up.

what happened ?

Yeah BA. I get ya But lets pretend it never been played back in the day and just came out....do you think there are any songs out there that would hit hard just like back then.

Like you stated they only appreciate BS anyway....but then our parents thought our music back then was crap too so go figure huh

Im gonna try again to post the videos.

 

you got to click the embed button to get the code for youtube bbcode.
