I think I've mentioned this before, but when it comes to music, I have pretty eclectic tastes. I especially am a huge dork when it comes to musicals, so I jumped at the chance to review Rock of Ages. Now having not been born until 1982, I was more into Sesame Street Live than I was hair bands during the actual 80s, but I can definitely appreciate a good Poison song.
Rock of Ages is definitely something I'd love to see, especially after reading this description:
Set in 1987 in a legendary Sunset Strip rock club, a small-town girl meets a big-city dreamer and they fall in love to the greatest metal songs of the 80's. The musical is an arena-rock love story told through the mind-blowing, face-melting hits of Journey, Bon Jovi, Styx, Reo Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Foreigner, Twisted Sister, Poison, Asia, Whitesnake and more.
To me, that description sounds like it'd be great fun to go see this musical with a group of girl friends. And the music--oh, the music is so much fun! The track list includes some really fun, remixed and remastered songs, such as:- We're Not Gonna Take It
- Wanted Dead Or Alive
- I Want To Know What Love Is
- The Final Countdown
- Every Rose Has Its Thorn
- Don't Stop Believin

I had a hard time narrowing it down to just one song, but in honor of my sister, I would have to say "Gloria".
One is just too hard, but I'll go with anything by the Go Go's. I think my favorite might be Our Lips Are Sealed.
Eye of the Tiger rocks!!!
Even though I live in Virginia, I'm a true Jersey girl at heart, so of course, Bon Jovi is my 80s God, and "Living on a Prayer" is my gospel. Our friends were taking bets on how many Bon Jovi songs would play at our wedding and I think they topped out at almost a dozen :)

I am a sucker for singing Tainted Love at top volume in my car (and getting the associated stares from other drivers at red lights).
