I'll ignore the D word, as it makes me want to tear my eyeballs out of my head.

Favorite 80's country chicks:

Patty Loveless - The Night's Too Long, Overtime, anything on On Down The Line ("I can't get no satisfaction and my tractor don't get no traction" one of the best lines ever)

Rosanne Cash - King's Record Shop - all of it.

KT Oslin - This Woman - all of it.

Dolly - He's Alive (totally LOL!)

Judds - River Of Time - all of it.

Meet Me in Montana...gah...I love that song. That's one of the first country songs I remember hearing as a kid and it became a fave of mine. Marie and Dan Seals.

I was watching a Dolly Parton show on CMT, Biography Channel or something one time and they showed a performance of her doing He's Alive...I cried like a baby. It was frickin' amazing. She's awesome. Love her.

Some of my faves:

Ronnie Milsap - Any Day Now
George Strait - Amarillo by Morning (LOVE THIS SONG!)
The Highwaymen - Highway Man
Eddie Rabbitt - Drivin' My Life Away and I Love a Rainy Night
John Anderson - Swingin'
Johnny Lee - Lookin' for Love (or Wookin' Pa Nub. LOL)
Randy Travis - Forever and Ever Amen
9 to 5 - Miss Dolly

Just to name a few...

Sorry...the subject line says 80's divas...but I included dudes too.

Trisha's career started in the '90s, I believe (and Patty Loveless just got in under the wire since her first album came out in 1988)

strandinthewind · #8 02-01-2007, 01:04 PM

Juice Newton - BAAAAHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEAAAAAAKKKKKKK it to me gently . . . .

LOVE HER!

I love Bonnie Tyler's "It's a Heartache", but that's about it. All the other country I like is from the 50s-70s.

Here's a few:

Judds- Mama He's Crazy
Reba- Little Rock, They Asked About You, Does He Love You
Kathy Mattea- Where've You Been
Crystal Gayle- Talking in Your Sleep, Somebody Loves You, When I Dream
Dottie West- Lesson in Leavin'
All of the Dolly/Kenny duets
Loretta and Conway- Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man
