The other day it occured to me that there is a whole generation of kids out there who might just be on the verge of discovering Peter Gabriel for the very first time.
Oh I know he might not be to everybody's taste, but who can forget the scene in "Say Anything" when John Cusack as Lloyd Dobler hefts the gargantuan boom-box over his head and blasts "In Your Eyes" to Ione Skye's Diane Court?
Which 80's artist would you like to introduce to this generation?
Do you think they know Paul Simon's "Graceland"?

Peter Gabriel is great. on Guitar hero we heard a heavy metal song from 2007, and i SWEAR it sounded more like something you'd hear from 1987...
I'm a Belinda Carslile fan.
Depeche Mode. General Public. And much, much more.
Ooh you should see my playlists :) Here's a just a "few"
Ozzy
Def Leppard
Prince
Meatloaf
Adam Ant
Atlantic Starr
Billy Idol
Bruce Hornsby and the Range
Christoper Cross
Fleetwood Mac
Guns N Roses
John Cougar
Metallica

Do they know Toni Basil and the one hit wonder "Mickey"?
"Oh Mickey you're so fine, you blow my mind - hey Mickey"
Oh, you want me to pick just one? That's impossible!
I agree with the Graceland thing.
I think they are getting a taste of AC/DC with their new album out.
I'm also a big fan of Bruce Hornsby, and Billy Joel, but I think the latter encompasses the 70's too. His first album, Cold Spring Harbor is my absolute fave.
Def Leppard is also my HM fave!
