He does have that mom and dad vibe-but he wrote "I'm A Believer", "Red Red Wine" and "Girl, You'll be a Woman Soon" from Pulp Fiction. Plus I like the fun songs like "Forever in Blue Jeans
haha - mum and dad vibe - never thought of putting it like that. im a beleiver is a great song and i never thought about the song from pulp fiction as im still yet to see that movie you know.

I have always appreciated Neil Diamond too, many people don't realize how many great songs he's responsible for.
"Love on the rocks... ain't no big surprizzzzzze... just pour me a drink and I'll tell you some lizzzzzzze"

Got's to love some Neil Diamond!

I believe it was illegal not to buy his stuff in Australia in the early 70's.

Top two 80's songs about fictional characters:

# 1 - T'Pau - 'China in Your Hand'
# 2 - Neil Diamond - 'Heartlight'

i never heard this until about a year ago on an 80s song channel on sky and just thought it typified those 'im so in love with you' type songs. I also got a look at 'power of love' ballad by jennifer rush - that video clip is hilarious when the man gets hit by a car in slow motion.

and the saxaphone solo in china in your hand is so trade mark of the 80s

One of the biggest hits of '87 in the UK. It's about Frankenstein.

I love Billy Idol too, always have. And after I watched his VH1 Storytellers Special, I even gained more sympathy for the man. He's really funny too.

Still hoping for a chance to see him live.

Billy Idol tunes were used in some awesome flicks throughout the 80's. But for me .. his cameo in "The Wedding Singer" just solidified his legendary status ..

Here's the tunes and movies I remember:

"Rebel Yell" - The Legend of Billie Jean, The Wraith, & 16 Candles

"Do Not Stand In the Shadows" - The Wild Life

"Catch My Fall" - Some Kind of Wonderful

and my fav Idol tune:

"Dancin' With Myself" - Can't Buy Me Love

I'm sure there were probably more, but those were some excellent movies to give Idol tunes exposure and great memories!

First saw Billy Idol when he performed "Hot in the City" on a show called Laugh Trax in 1982. Went out and bought the 45 soon after [Smile]

Billy Idol rules. Apparently a really smart, nice guy.

Not 'Laugh Trax', but '82:

Europe rules! I have all their albums.
Such a classy act and still alive and kickin´.

Starship is another great band.
My bother just bought the Love Among the Cannibals (1989) cd.
Some great songs in that one and the production is HUGE!
