Random drunk thread of the night
Blasting some old school 80's music and I'm reminded again how much more powerful a lot of the vocals from that era feel in regards to pop music. I'm not sure if its the lack of heavy auto tune making the performances more raw or what, but a lot of the big songs from that era just feel way more intense in terms of vocal performances. Yes there is a TON of cheese to these tracks as well, but I'll be damned if I'm not feeling the vocals. And I'm not even a child of the 80's so this isn't a "you grew up with it" or "nostalgia" thing.
John Parr - St Elmo's Fire
Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart
Toto - Africa
