Drumroll, please!
Actually, in my posts for this year's April A to Z Blogging Challenge will be a lot of drums.....and shredding guitars.....and hair. A whole lotta hair!
As in hair bands!
I've chosen to showcase my favorite 80s & 90s hair band music.
I was fortunate enough to grow up in the era of MTV - back when it was a new concept and actually played, you know, MUSIC, 24/7. I was a sterotypical kid, who would rush home from school to turn on the TV and lose myself in music videos all afternoon.
And as my husband can attest - I sang along to each and every one of these as I posted. Funny how you can remember all the words to a song from 25 years ago, but forget what you just went into the kitchen for....
So expect a TON of Def Leppard, who has been my favorite band since my freshman year in high school; Cinderella, Motley Crue, Guns N' Roses, Van Halen.
All the good stuff!
Come along for the ride!
The train is leaving the station April 1.
Fun! I remember the day we launched MTV at the cable company where I worked - I Ran by a Flock of Seagulls keeps going through my mind.
ReplyDeleteOh wow - that'as a blast from the past, too!
DeleteOmg! shades of my childhood! love this!
ReplyDeleteThere was a whole lot of "OMG, I forgot about this song!" and then 5 songs later I'd remember to get back to the post I was working on LOL!
DeleteRiding in a convertible, singing at the top of my lungs is a happy memory. Sounds like lots of fun. My Virtual Vineyard
ReplyDeleteI don't even need to convertible! I'm sure people laugh at me while sitting in my car at stoplights!
DeleteSounds like we'll have a lot in common! Looking forward to your interpretation! We've seen Def Leppard three times now!
ReplyDeleteI am so unhappy that I missed the show where they filmed "Def Leppard in Detroit"! They sound awesome live!
DeleteI still have an odd soft spot for men in spandex bike shorts and crazy aerobic abilities. Such a fun theme! - Louise
ReplyDeleteOh, the Spandex! Pretty sure I ~don't~ want to see anyone wearing those now!
DeleteHey Lisa! Thanks for visiting me. I'll be visiting you frequently! Bon Jovi - my favorite! Period!
ReplyDeleteI could write a whole post on how JBJ has aged like fine wine!
DeleteDid Bon Jovi have enough hair back then to be on your list? LOL Cool theme! Music is always good.
ReplyDeletePerspectives at Life & Faith in Caneyhead #AtoZChallenge
Oh yes!!
DeleteThere are many great ones, Reo Speedwagon, Aerosmith and Status Quo come to mind!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting https://thethreegerbers.blogspot.ch/2017/03/a-z-blogging-challenge-theme-reveal.html
I don't think I've heard of Status Quo...I'll have to go check them out! They may be one of those bands where I know their music, just not who did it.
DeleteThat's a fun theme! I will be there! Count me in. Happy A to Z, Lisa :)

Happy A to Z-ing to you, too!
DeleteOoo, fun stuff. Love me some glammy hair metal.
ReplyDeleteI was always jealous how some of these guys had better hair than I did!
DeleteWell this will be fun! Not a topic I know much about.
ReplyDeleteI think it'll be fun! It's mainly just music that I really like and had a good time putting together for the challenge.
DeleteOh gosh, I was a HUGE hair band fanatic back in the day. Can't wait! I hope Poison and Winger will be in there. ;)
ReplyDeleteOf course! LOL!
DeleteGreat theme! I don't know much about the hair bands (you'd think I would, with all the music I do on the blog) other than they have lots of hair and play with their cheeks sucked in. Looking forward to hearing from you....

DeleteVery cool theme :) I particularly like the gif!
ReplyDeleteRos at Fangirl Stitches
Thanks! And I thought the gif was funny so I couldn't pass it up!
DeleteOh, this should be good. And timely for me. My WIP is revolves around a singer, so I'll be cued into your language. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks, hope it lives up to your expectations!
DeleteI am a huge fan of 80s music - the hair bands being some of my favorites. Looking forward to your posts! - Marie The Articuate Image
