80s Throwback: The Jacksons - Can You Feel It
The song “Can You Feel It” by The Jacksons is one of my favorite songs by the group, if not my favorite. Whenever I hear this song, it makes me groove and gets me pumped, no mater what kind of day I’m having.

I decided to pick an artist that Timmy played with in the past for today’s 80s throwback. I was a little slow in discovering Peter Gabriel, and I had never heard of him until I saw his (still) classic video for the song, “Sledgehammer” on MTV. Once I did, I became an instant fan of his music.
Conceptually, the “Sledgehammer” video would have never been made if it followed today’s (boring) standards for music videos; however, this video, like many in the 80s, is a true example of art and creativity. Arguably, it is the best video ever made…even better than “Thriller” by Michael Jackson, in my opinion.

Whenever I hear “Walking on Sunshine” by the Katrina & the Waves, it makes me smile and brings back some good memories. For some reason, I also think of the scene in “Look Who’s Talking” when John Travolta is playing with the baby.

“Rebel Yell” by Billy Idol always gets me pumped whenever this song rotates on my Zune’s playlist. I remember first hearing this song when I was a little kid in the mall chase scene in the 80s classic , “The Legend of Billie Jean.”
This video has a lot of energy that you don’t see in music videos today. Plus it has Steve Stevens, one of the guitar greats from an era that sadly no longer exists with today’s music.

The Def Leppard song “Women” is a gem that is often overlooked, but it’s a classic rock song that’s one of the band’s best efforts in my opinion. The guitar riffs, drums, and vocals are amazing. This is a great effort from the band. Check it out.
