Hey, hey, we're the Plotmonkeys. We're friends, plotting partners, friends, mothers, friends ... well you get the gist. Welcome to our blogging site where you'll find our views on anything and everything depending on which one of us is blogging and what kind of mood we're in. We can't tell you whether we'll be talking about our families, our writing, how much weight we gained after eating that entire container of Ben and Jerry's or how ticked we are about people who have twelve items in the ten items or less checkout lane. So hope you'll come back every day to see what's happening in the jungle including giveaways!

Beth is one of my favorite songs ever. Love Puck’s version from Glee so much. I listened too all the hair bands in the 80′s and 90′s, and still really love that music. One of the reasons I want to see Rock of Ages is the music…think I’ll wait for the play to come to Nashville next Spring.
I thought the Puck version was particularly good. So emotional. That was a really great episode with all the Lady Gaga songs, too. One of my favorites. (Except for Indina/Lea doing Poker Face…that was probably the stupidest moment in Glee history.)
Wait for the play. Do not see the movie. Other than the music there is not much there. I have seen the musical on Broadway (with Constantine Marioulous from idol) and the touring show. It’s fantastic. They encourage you to get up and dance and sing. We did in NYC. And they made the whole theater like a night club and went around getting drinks for you.
Beth is so emotional too and yet such a simple tune! It gets me everytime too. Probably because of the words.
I was not a ‘hair band’ person during the time of “hair bands”…I love them now, after I saw the musical “Rock of Ages”. I can’t bring myself to see the movie (I cannot stand Tom Cruise and, frankly, I have seen clips of him singing and he can’t sing, no matter what anyone says).
Such a waste of an awesome movie.
I really wanted to see the play before the movie came out, but it never came here. I will probably see the movie. I like Tom Cruise…it’s Alec Baldwin that I don’t like, LOL! But I still want to see it.
Loved the 80′s music! My high school and college memories!
I loved Asia….Heat of the Moment, Don’t Cry, Only Time Will Tell
Anything Bon Jovi, John Mellancamp, REO Speedwagon, Journey
It was all great! Even my teenagers like it now!
Mine, too! She’s a huge Journey fan, in particular. She even listens to Styx now and again. I have done my job right, LOL!
YES, Beth by KISS is up there at the top of my list. I grew up listening to those type of songs. My mom took me to my first KISS concert when I was a teen. That being said I listened to a lot of country as well. It was a big toss up.
Some of my other favs were Sister Christian by Knight Rider. Styx and Journey were up there too. :bananaangel:
That was more my kids era!!! I grew up listening to music in the 40′s & 50′s. I don’t remember hearing any of those songs!!!! Sorry!
Ballads, listen to Frank Sinatra, Andy Williams, Michael Buble, etc. :batteeyes:
My Sirus is permanently set on Hair Nation for the most part. I love what they play. I love Poison, Styx, Journey, Kansas, Kiss. I could go on and on. And I have seen most of them in concert.
I’ve been introduced to bands that I missed, like Lita Ford, who will be here this summer with Poison and Def Lepprd. She has a new album out and I can’t wait to go get it.
My fave ballad tho? The River by Garth Brooks, tied with The Dance, which is hubby’s and my song.
Any thing by Journey, Asia, Kansas, Boston, Van Halen, Quiet Riot, In the Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics….ack, to many to name!!!
I was in High School and College during the 1980′s . Loved the music. Every Rose Has a Thorn by Poison, Home Sweet Home by Motley Crue and Love Bites by Def Leppard are three of my favorites.
I am a huge fan of 80′s rock. Love the hair bands, glamour rock. I used to go to all the concerts. I started at the age of 14. My first concert was JoanJett and the Blackhearts. I have see Kiss, Motlry crue, a big fan of Whitesnake9saw them 3 times, AC/Dc, Great White, Winger, cinderella, and tesla. From the age of 14 till 20 I probly saw 25 different concerts. I love music and love concerts. Now I go for quieter and listen to country. I still go to about 5 to 15 concerts a year. My 10 year old daughter gets to go to her first concert and taking her to Toby Keith.
Wow never would have you pegged for a fellow headbanger , that’s so great!
Last friday we saw REO at Citifield and got to shake Kevin Cronins hand!!!
Tommy Shaw is a favorite of mine too and I try to make sure to see him whenever I can. My all time favorite has since passed but will remain in my heart forever. His name is Ronnie James Dio. Enjoy your day :cheers:
Layla- Eric Clapton
Kathy’s Song- Simon & Garfunkel
Sweet Melissa -Allman Brothers Band
Lady In Red- Chris DeBurgh
Keep On Loving You by REO Speedwagon is my favorite ‘power ballad’. Love the 70′s and 80′s music. Journey, Eagles, REO, Bon Jovi, Van Hale and Kansas.
I grew up in that era. Love all the songs. Every Rose…by Poison, Love Bites by Def Leppard, Silent Lucidity by Queensriche, Open Arms by Journey, Bed of Roses by Bon Jovi…etc….
I think ballads seem to be more powerful to me when sung by a band that traditionally plays harder, rougher music. Because they step out of their ellement, these songs are more noticed. I also think it psychologically appeals to us the same way a “bad boy” hero in a story does: someone who is characteristically rough around the edges can soften up for love.
