Twisted Mix Tape Tuesday-80's Rock N Roll Ladies


OK people in the blogosphere…this is part II of the glorious 80’s and I have to tell ya there are SO Many 80’s songs that are swirling around in my head it's so NOT funny! So I decided  to keep it simple and just go with the 80’s ladies that ROCK!  Thank you Jen Kehl @ www.jenkehl.com for hosting this fabulous Blog Hop!  So let’s get this 80’s party started before I put the finishing touches on my pink teased bangs and clip a feather to my long flowing locks!  I am again…just that cool!  So enough already...let’s get this crazy 80's themed party started!

Heart-What About Love-OK so this song makes me just want to grab a mic, stand on a bar, and sing my out of tune heart out!  This song is just that AWESOME!

                                       http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE5GGMhmo-M

Lita Ford and Ozzy Osbourne-Close My Eyes Forever-OK so Ozzy is not a lady BUT sheesh in this video his hair is really a close tie to Lita’s teased up locks!  Either way…this song is pretty good!  Reminds me of hanging outside in the high school parking lot right before class started…I can smell the cigarette smoke from here! How PC were we right?  HAHAHAHAAAA!

Joan Jett-I Love Rock N Roll-OK…so my sister and I used to blast this in our living room and "air guitarred" our asses off!  YIKES…what a visual huh?  HAHAHAHAAA!

Pat Benatar-Love Is A Battlefield-I remember watching this video on MTV and wanting to get her style on!  She has some pretty good moves too in that dance set as well!

Tina Turner and Bryan Adams-It’s Only Love-So Tina is just the Shizz but when she sings this song with Bryan Adams, something seriously comes over me and I again…feel the need for an out of tune sing-o-rama combined with a little bit of…sigh…yes air guitar!  So sad…yeah I know!

Bonus Pick:  Vixen-Cryin’-I vaguely remember this band coming out in the 80’s BUT this video is just too Funny to NOT post!  Check out the outfits and the hair on these chicks!  Holy Crap that is A LOT of leather and spiked hair/heels going on here!  This is just Hilarious!

    1. Tina is just the SHIZZ and that voice matched with Bryan Adams on Guitar...well that is just musical nirvana right there! Thanks for the props for the list...I was trying to get the core of the great ladies of the 80's! ;)

  2. Awesome post! It is bringing back so many memories. These fine ladies do not get the replay that their counterparts do these days. I loved their music and this just reminded me. Definitely going to download some today. http://www.mypersonalaccent.com

    1. Oh I hear ya...I have to tell you that I did download that Lita Ford/Ozzy song because I could NOT get it out of my head! ;)

  3. 'I Love Rock n Roll' one of the all time best rock songs!

    Being guitar-tropic, (and scottian female lead singer-tropic), there is nothing to not like about Pat Benatar. I think I can 'name that tune' in 5 notes or less for any song on at least the first two albums... (even the Heathcliffe song). lol

    Very enjoyable List!

  4. Fantastic list and you definitely got the best of the best of the women rockers in the 80's!

    I'm not sure if its funny or sad that I immediately knew what band that was in the opening picture. By the end of the 80's, that was pretty much my "look". Mild mannered preppy college student by day...hair, leather, fishnets and stilettos by night.

    1. Oh HAHAHAAAAAAA! I was like...hmmmm...I vaguely remember these ladies coming out but then I saw the video and I was like Whoa...check out the stiletto's on those chicks and then it all CAME back to me! I used to have a pair of shoes like that...I think that I got them at Payless Shoe Source! HAHAHAAAAA!!! ;)

  5. Your list is completely awesome. Love that Lita Ford and Ozzy (whose hair did look a bit girlish) made it. I must've listened to that song 1,000 times. And yee-haw to smelling the cigarette smoke in the school parking lot! Ha. I almost included a photo of me exhaling but then didn't want the haters hating on it so I didn't. Thanks for the excellent memories.

  6. I was pretty sure that Lita, Joan and Pat could've each easily broken me, but that didn't stop me from hoping that they'd try... =)

  7. Give it up for the Ladies!!! Nice call on each tune. Although, Ozzy scared the hell out of me with that look!!! lol And just for grins: That was a whole lot of "something" going on in that last video...

    1. I know right...she kind of does not have that whole choreography thing going on with her but the song makes up for it! I have to tell ya that I didn't understand what she was doing in that video (as a profession) until I was in my early 30's...I am such a LAME ASS! HAHAHAHAHAHAAA!

  13. One of my first music memories is sitting in the back seat of my mom's mercury listening to Tina Turner. I also love that Close Your Eyes--FOREVER. My uncle-in-law used to be a bouncer, and said that Joan Jett swore like a sailor. There WERE some rocking ladies-You have inspired me to focus a post on ladies next week in the 90's.

    1. I could see Joan Jett swearing up a storm and not giving a $#!T right? I have to admit that Lita Ford and Ozzy are in my iTunes Library...yeah...I couldn't help myself...the song grows on you and you just can't get it OUT OF YOUR HEAD!!!! I am glad that you like my list...I am looking forward to checking out your 90's ladies list next week! ;)
