My 13 year old daughter has been watching VH1's Best 100 songs of the 80's today.


Some songs brought back some good memories, others, I'm like "WTH?"

What do you think are some of the best/worst songs of the 80's?

My favorite '80's one hit wonder

Great song. Soft Cell had a handful of hits, however :) I think you can grab most of the videos on YouTube.

They had other hits outside of the country, but I think only Tainted Love here. Love that song. ;)

But probably the ultimate 80's music moment:

I wasn't into fruity boy tunes. I rocked out to Poison :D

God, poison sucked. So did all those hair metal bands :)

We were listening to Maiden, Metallica, Slayer, etc.
 
Now we're talking:

Early days :)

Same song many years, millions of dollars, and hundreds of thousands of fans later:

And with Dickinson singing instead of Di'Anno.
 
Gag a Maggot!


VH1 says "Living on a Prayer" is the number 1 song of the 80's! :eek:


WHAT THE HELL!?!?!?!?!?!!? :confused:



I need to go listen to some Replacements to get that image out of my head!

LOL

My second graders LOVE Michael Jackson! They try to dance like him all the time!
 
Appetite for Destruction, Guns & Roses. I lived and breathed G&R in the late 80's (90's and 2000's too).

Watched this on MTV, the first video they aired. That was back when MTV actually played Music on TeleVision.

Video killed the radio star.

Before he was too much of a freak, the man could perform! And, though slightly off topic, I love this:

That is GREAT! How fun for them, man, they must have practiced for weeks. Better than the chicken dance! :eek:
