I vote we wait for her. We do have another special going on for next week so it's not like we don't have the time Someone might should pt her and let her know tho.

Word. The 80s without Jenny is like the 80s without jelly shoes and mall hair.

[Lucky]

We are waiting. She was here on friday, I'm taking that as a sign that she'll soon be back. The 80's without Jenny is unthinkable.

[Jenny]

You guys are all so sweet to think of me and wait for me prior to voting. I put my little sweetie on the bus to school, worked out at the gym, and now I'm back! I lost the list of albums I wanted to nominate when I emptied my desk and there are so many good ones already chosen, but I'll try:

Cyndi Lauper - She's So Unusual (1983)

This album launched her into the stratosphere with "Girls Just Want to Have Fun", but it also spawned the hits "Time After Time" "She Bop" and "Money Changes Everything" and "All Through The Night". Her unusual voice and look influenced a generation of girls to be themselves.

Uh Huh - John Cougar Mellencamp (1983)

One of my favorite albums. John had already had hits as "John Cougar", but this was the first album in which he used his birth name and became a big star. The first three tracks rank among my favorite JCM songs of all time

Crumblin' Down

Pink Houses

Authority Song

Warmer Place to Sleep

Jackie O

Play Guitar

Serious Business

Lovin' mother for ya

Golden Gates

[Farin]

Hey Ace, Welcome to Songfacts

take a look around this thread and you'll notice that both of your choices have already been nominated - which is a good thing because that means you can choose two new ones

[edna]

Double Fantasy - John Lennon

It didn't come to my mind...

[Lucky]

Hey Ace, Welcome to Songfacts

take a look around this thread and you'll notice that both of your choices have already been nominated - which is a good thing because that means you can choose two new ones

And I second that .... please, join us & throw out a couple more great 80's albums.

[Tenacious_Peaches]

Ace rocks!

[MindCrime]

Does this mean I can change my nomination of Master of Puppets and it still be included? We may not hear from this guy until after voting begins.

[pinkstones]

I don't know -- the guy seems like a post-and-run sort to me. You know the types; they sign up, post once and then never come back.

[Farin]

as long as you don't both change your nominations in the end, be my guest

[pinkstones]

Why should Kenne have to change his nomination? He came up with it first.

Edit that guy's post so that his nominations aren't there anymore since someone else go to them already.

[MindCrime]

As long as the renomination of Metallica by Ace Syton stands...

Combat Rock - The Clash (1982)

[iMAGE][/iMAGE]

"Know Your Rights"

"Car Jamming"

"Should I Stay or Should I Go"

"Rock the Casbah"

"Red Angel Dragnet"

"Straight to Hell"

"Overpowered by Funk"

"Atom Tan"

"Sean Flynn"

"Ghetto Defendant"

"Inoculated City"

"Death is a Star"

Kenne doesn't have to, but he can, if he wants to... just like you or anyone else can change their own nominations if they want to

[pinkstones]

I see it as first come, first serve. If someone else had nominated Slippery When Wet before I did, I should be the one to change my nomination, not them.

[Shawna]

do y'all have a list yet? I'm thinking of submitting a nom or two, and I don't want to read through all this... but I will if you don't have a list yet...
