Hello,
What do these things have in common? "I ain't gonna play Sun City", "Do they know it's Christmas?, "Born In The USA" and "The average age was 19". Yes, these were some of the messages of the 80s. It was a time of political activism and messaging, large concerts trying to make real change in the world. Some of these large concerts were Live Aid, Farm Aid, concerts for Amnesty International and various political causes.
Not all the messages below are serious, although most of them are, I tried to include some fun messages as well. A few songs from the 90s have slipped through.
1) Bruce Springsteen "Born In The U.S.A.":
2) Nena "99 Luftballons":
3) Band Aid "Do They Know It's Christmas?":
4) Artists United Against Apartheid "Sun City":
5) Public Enemy "Fight The Power":
6) Grandmaster Flash "White Lines (Long Version)":
Combining grace, beauty and that amazing voice all in one package just isn't fair. Whitney should've been even bigger than she was. 7) Whitney Houston "The Greatest Love of All":
8) Stevie Wonder, Dionne Warwick, Elton John and Gladys Knight. "That's What Friends Are For":
9) Genesis "Land of Confusion":
10) The Police "Synchronicity 2":
11) Don Henley "The Boys of Summer":
and 12) Don Henley's "The End of The Innocence":
