Love John Ford's The Searchers and this punk classic equally.

I'll admit to it publically. I just can't admit it to myself.

Too Shy by Kajagoogoo. I play bass guitar and I love listening to the bass line in that song. Terrible band name, however.

Haddaway-What is Love

Well...I just did publicly admit it, so I can't say I'm feeling much shame:
What I can say is that the lyrics are truly awful--cringeworthy, even. They were parodied brilliantly in this SNL skit (skip to 43:40):
sample: My name is Donny./I'm here to say./They call me Donny./'Cause that's my name./Purnina Cat Chow./Chow!/Chow!/Chow!/An apple a day./Keeps the doctor away!/I'm walkin'./I'm talkin'./McCauley Caulkin./Roger Clemens was called for balkin'!

A tortured artist, too. Had a number of hits, an exploitative relationship with his record label, and a massive drug problem. Ruined his personal relationships despite his massive talent, and died way before his time.
"Operator" was probably his greatest song. He wrote it after seeing his fellow enlistees receive "Dear John" letters (a notice send to those who have been sent mail telling them their partners have found someone else, for anyone who was born after this time) and he noticed his fellow soldiers calling home in disbelief. "Operator" peaked at #8 in the billboard charts.
He had two number one hits: "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" (also about a fellow enlisted man who went AWOL and could not, for the life of him conform to what the military expected of him) and "Time in a Bottle," which only reached #1 after he died in a plane crash on Nagadoches, LA at age 30.

Thanks for the background. Nice to fill in some understanding of the people behind the music.
Cat Stevens was another one from back in that era with quite a story. I tended to like his music, and don't mind saying so, either.

I like the song "Call Me Maybe" but I will never admit it to anyone. I especially like the version sung by the US Swim Team. Well, they weren't really singing, of course...

I love 70s soft rock- add Bread, America, Don McLean, Dan Fogelberg to the list.
