This is one of my favorite British pop tunes from the 80s. The song’s lyrics mostly describe the working class family lifestyle, and the band acts them out by portraying such a family in the music video. There’s nothing deep about the track, just a fun tune all...
1988 : Cinderella – Coming Home (Mp3 Download)
posted by Gallivanter
One of the most underrated rock bands in the late 80s, overshadowed by world-class acts like Bon Jovi and Def Leppard. I bought their greatest hits and enjoyed their genre of blues rock and this embodies how Cinderella wanted to be defined. I took a walk down a road it’s the road I was...
Florence and the Machine – Never Let Me Go (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
The album’s not bad, and this haunting song sticks out from the rest. Its chorus reminds me of songs from the 80s from bands like Berlin. This is arguably Florence and the Machine’s best track. Hauntingly beautiful. DOWNLOADÂ Florence and the Machine – Never Let Me Go Mp3...
1986 : MC Miker G & DJ Sven – Holiday Rap (Mp3)
posted by Gallivanter
Musically, the song used a sample from Madonna’s 1983 hit “Holiday”, with different lyrics and a melodious music. In the lyrics, both singers tell their summer vacations in various towns, such as London and New York. The song also featured the chorus of Cliff Richard’s...
Nelly Furtado – Time Stand Still (Song Review)
posted by Gallivanter
A tepid effort by Nelly Furtado after she gave us a couple of highs in the past with delectable tunes. In this track, she sounds like Madonna back in the 80s, while some may like it, most would be confused. While Nelly Furtado doesn’t have a good voice, she knows how to works it,...
Pop Evil – Purple (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
Pop Evil’s new album is easy on the ears, ears that belong to someone who loves the genre of good old rock. There are a few songs here that are not too bad, but I think this is the best. The lead singer voice, the music accompaniment has a throwback to the 90s with a dash of 80s for good...

posted by Gallivanter
Yup. I just found out that Whitesnake, the band who gave us “Here I Go Again” in the 80s, will be in Malaysia on 31st October 2011 for a concert at Stadium Negara Kuala Lumpur! Tickets will be sold by Ticket Pro but details are not announced yet. Although they’re from the...
1983 : Katrina and the Waves – Walking on Sunshine (Mp3 Download)
posted by Gallivanter
One of the most spirited fun songs to have come out in the 80s from the one-hit wonder Katrina and the Waves. “I’m walking on sunshine and don’t it feel good!” – the lyrics probably don’t have any deep meaning to it so what you hear is what you get, take it...
1987 : Eric Carmen – Hungry Eyes (Mp3 Download)
posted by Gallivanter
“Dirty Dancing” was an excellent movie in its heyday of 1987. The soundtrack is something else too, the theme of the 80s in terms of quality songs on a soundtrack. These days though, soundtrack’s seen more as a filler instead of an equal partner to drive the movie’s...
Michael Bormann – Don’t You Tell Me (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
I have never heard of this dude, who’s apparently been in the music scene for a long time, in Germany. He doesn’t really have a distinct voice but definitely rock-worthy. After listening to an album which I swore was written in the 80s, this rock ballad stood out the most. While it...
I Loved Reading Enid Blyton’s The Five Find-Outers
posted by Gallivanter
I think most of us who grew up in the 80s and early 90s would immediately recognize the name Enid Blyton. She has written a lot of children’s books but the one that stood out the most was a boy name Fatty and the Find-Outers, a bunch of kids going about their neighborhood trying to solve...
Black Eyed Peas – The Time (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
I’m not too sure about the history of this song, whether it’s a demo or their next single. It samples the famous Bill Medley and Jennifer Warner track, called “The Time of My Life”, the soundtrack to the movie Dirty Dancing back in the 80s. However, they seem to be...
