Mullet Rock '06

A friend and I are planning on attending the event of the year! Ok, so it's just one concert but it's a mullet rockin' concert. Ok, so as I was saying, a friend and I are headed to none other than a "Mullet Rock '06 aka Def Leppard and Journey concert!! {:-p

Yes, there's no better way to celebrate summer than by sitting in a pavilion or a stadium(I never seem to remember the actual concert location where I will be rockin' although I've been told several times), drinking beer and listening to some cheesy 80s rock. I can't wait till they play Love Bites. *Note to self: I have to get a lighter. Do they hold up lighters still? I seem to recall someone saying that holding up a lighter was a thing of the past. Clearly, I missed the concert etiquette update*

Anyway, the last time I was at a concert, it was a Prince concert. If you listen to Prince, you'll know right away that while he can still kick ass with his music, he's not a swaying with the crowd, power ballad blaster, guitar screeching in the background kinda guy. Ok, well his guitars do screech but in a cool, R&B sorta way vs. a power ballad rockin' way.

So, we're counting down to Mullet Rock and...in case I am getting senile and haven't explained the Mullet Rock title, it's because you know we're sure to see a few 80s Rock mullets! Therefore, in honor of the esteemed event, I think I'll list some 80s tunes that I currently have on my 80s iPod playlist. I guess now that I'm preparing for Mullet Rock I'll have to stop listening to Damian Marley and Janet Jackson over and over again.

I know, I know, I listen to almost anything. Can you tell? :-)

So, in keeping with the 80s theme, as cheesy as it may be at times, and although I don’t officially do Thursday Thirteens, what better time to tie the two together?! Here are thirteen cool 80s songs on my iPod right now.

1. Your Love - The Outfield
2. Heaven is a Place on Earth - Belinda Carlisle
3. Faith - George Michael
4. Candy (7" version) - Cameo
5. White Lines - Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five
6. Pour Some Sugar on me - Def Leppard
7. I Need Love - LL Cool J
8. Livin' on a Prayer - Bon Jovi
9. There's the Girl - Heart
10. Need You Tonight - INXS
11. Take On Me - a ha
12. St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion) - John Parr
13. Rebel Yell - Billy Idol

What's on your music player or 80s playlist that bring back memories of leggings, big (possibly flammable hair with all that hairspray) and cool tunes?
