Well, what is it?

You spin me around. ;)

Goonies are good enough ;)

I'd say Eurythmycs - Sweet Dreams and maybe Pointer Sisters - I'm So Excited, I have good memories with that one.

It's a matter of taste. Heck my own favorite differs according to my mood. I reckon I'd have to go with either Fleetwood Mac "Everywhere" or Nik Kershaw "I won't let the sun go down on me" (NOT the duet with similar title). Alternatively something with Billy Joel. Or Eurythmics (as mentioned above).

Golden Earring's Twilight Zone.

Surprised no one has mentioned "Panama" or "Eye of the Tiger", easily my nominations.

Def Leppard: Love bites

Clairvoyant - Iron Maiden
One - Metalica

That's My Job by Conway Twitty

Amarillo By Morning
Marina Del Rey - George Strait

Van Halen - Jump

Golden Earring - Radar Love

George Thoroughgood - One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer

Not sure if that was the 80s or early 90s...

Slayer - Angel of Death

"I'm Too Sexy" by "Right Said Fred"? [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

Relax - Frankie goes to Hollywood.

In the Air Tonight - Phil Collins. You can't fully appreciate that tune unless you saw the pilot episode of Miami Vice, where Tubbs was out for revenge on the drug dealer who killed his brother...

Tough Tough Tough one.. that's not a song btw.

hmm, Me and Sarah Jane (live) By Genesis is very good.

Oh Jungle Land by Simple Minds and

My personalized license plate which I've had for 20 years says U2*1

Come on Feel the Noise

You would be so correct on that VR.

Bob Seger - And The Silver Bullet Band -Greatest Hits
Glenn Fry (Eagles) - First Day of Summer
Night Ranger - Sister Christian


Sorry fellers, but Golden Earring - Radar Love pre-dates 1980.

Wild Boys - Duran Duran... :D

There was music during the eighties besides Metallica?

Thanks, Felix... now I *know* my memory is going way off [img]smile.gif[/img]

But, to get back into it... how about Van Halen's Hot for Teacher? If that video didn't hit almost every adolescent male fantasy, I don't know what would [img]graemlins/angel.gif[/img]

Metallica is music?


B, I fully understand.

Anything by the Pixies

Please Please Please... (or any of several others) - The Smiths

Plainsong - the Cure

Anything Cliff Burton played on (but especially Kill em All).

Touch of Grey - Grateful Dead

I have to get on the Metallica bus...However, Rush Tom Sawyer, and anything off of 2112... :D

I'd be with you on 2112 Robert, except it's a 1976 release ;)

I love 2112 - especially the Temple of Syrinx. Geddy's a bass hero of mine.

Quick, open up a Best Song of the 70's thread :D

We don't have to, that Wish you were here by Pink Floyd... no contest... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Nominated in the category "Most Impressive Song I Wasn't Aware Of Before January This Year" : Mr Mister - Kyrie

..moving pictures was fine too.. and that was 80's

I think I would pick "Hunting high and low" by AHA over Take on me.

"Epic", Faith No More.

Slayer - Aggressive Perfector
Bathory - Reaper
Iron Maiden - The whole album "Killers"
Manowar - Hail and Kill
Kreator - Ripping corpse
Sodom - Ausgebombt (or) Agent Orange
Savage Death - Evil Dead (or) Satan´s Throne

Hell,I won´t bother listing anymore songs. There´s a LOT of good songs from the eighties

Wow...so Tempting to pick some really obscure song, I'll have to just hit a few Genres...

Metal - AC/DC - Let's Get It Up
Pop - T'Pau, Heart and Soul
Rap - N.W.A, Straight Outta Compton (HANDS DOWN the most aggressive rap ever)
Country - Charlie Daniel's Band, The South's Gonna Do It Again

So, so hard to pick just one, all the stuff above surely qualifies - but I'm surprised these weren't mentioned:

Huey Lewis and the News - Do You Believe In Love
J.Geils Band - Centerfold
ZZTop - Legs

Don't you forget about me- Depeche Mode

Either that post is really clever, or your memory is failing. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, though.

the 80s had no good music [img]tongue.gif[/img] . I'd consider N.W.A. early 90s even though N.W.A. and the Posse was released in 89 (or 87) I think. N.W.A. gets my vote, however.
