Happy birthday Jimmy Page
Jimmy Page 's incredible career spans four decades, appearing on an innumerable list of recordings. Best known for his trademark Les Pauls, double-neck guitar and riff-master deluxe, his contributions to rock history are nearly unmatched. He first picked up a guitar as a child, curiously plucking away on a Spanish acoustic given to the family. Soon after, Page became entranced with rock and roll, inspired by Elvis Presley's "Baby, Let's Play House". The rest is history...

Hamburgische Staatsoper wird 325 - und keiner feiert
Die Hamburger Oper feiert ihren 325. Geburtstag. Das von kunstliebenden hanseatischen Kaufleuten ins Leben gerufene Theater war das erste öffentliche Opernhaus Deutschlands. Zwischen Jungfernstieg und Colonnaden erstreckte sich der Holzbau des italienischen Baumeisters Sartorio, der am 2. Januar 1678 mit dem Singspiel "Adam und Eva" eröffnet wurde. Schon damals war das Programm vielfältig, denn an dem Theater wurde nicht nur gesungen, sondern auch getanzt.

Welcome to Ultimate '80s Songs!
Originally inspired on a long car trip during which my husband and I named the songs that would be on the ideal compilation CD, this list now consists of songs that I feel best capture the spirit of the 1980s (and a few from outside the 80s). This means it's subjective - what was popular in the eighties for me may not have been for you.
542 of the 543 songs on this page are linked to lyrics! The other is an instrumental.
