Castaways - Liar Liar

Great song. Some of you might recognize it from Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels.

Also, anything by Pink Floyd. At all. Along with any Zepplin stuff, The Doors, etc.

That happens to be the ONLY Elvis song I like. I don't dislike his music or anything, but it just doesn't appeal to me. UB40's rendition of it for the movie SLIVER was really good too, though. Anyway, more stuff I like...

Rockwell - Somebody's Watching Me (LOL I CAN'T believe SOMEONE remixed this for EDM and then Marcel Woods threw it down at Trance Energy this year!!! )

Billy Ocean - When the going gets tough, the tough get going

Maurice Williams & The Zodiacs - Stay (D-TV 1987 baby!! YEAH OWNAGE! )

Dire Straits - Walk of Life

The Beatles are in a league of their own, simply awesome music.

Buddy Holly is cool too.

I know what you mean, I never really listen to Elvis either. His music is just too distant from where we are now. Its funny you mentioned the UB40 version b/c thats the one I heard first and liked so I decided to download the original Elvis version.

By the way does anybody know of any good 80s rock songs that have been forgotten today? I don't mean like Whitesnake or Billy Idol or mainstream stuff like that, but rather more underground type stuff that was good back in the day.

Jethro Tull Rules. I love that scene from Armaggedon (sp?) when Owen Wilson is talking to the doctor and goes "I can't understand how some people think Jethro Tull is just a singer in a band" and then the doc goes "Who is Jethro Tull" and Wilson just like stares at him in disbelief and flunks his mental exam. Everybody should listen to Jethro Tull.
