/dev/null Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 what a crappy list how about some love for Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Ozzy? Unlike most of the songs on that list, people still listen to their 80s songs
HopsGuy Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 Any list of top 80s songs that omits Spandau Ballet, the Pet Shop Boys, or the Thompson Twins can't be dignified with comment. I'm sorry.
bbb Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 This much is true. How about the biggest rock star of the 80s - Bruce Springsteen.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 "Livin' on a prayer?" "LIVIN' ON A FUGGIN' PRAYER?!" That's not even the best Bon Jovi song of the 80's ("Wanted Dead or Alive was"), much less of the ENTIRE 80's. Morons.

X. Benedict Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 And they omitted Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer And Robert Palmer's Addicted to Love What a crap list.
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 What don't people understand? Yes it is a crappy list... Again, notic it is VH-1? That is the format so to speak... They aren't saying just best songs of the 1980's... They are saying VH-1's best songs of the 1980's... Am I the only one who remembers what VH-1 was all about back in the day? Seems like the list fits the "soft" format that VH-1 went on the air (okay cable) first enbodied... But continue on... Rage all you want on how Ozzy and Metallica belong on this list... Wow... EII a voice of reason?
/dev/null Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 Rage all you want on how Ozzy and Metallica belong on this list... 825781[/snapback] They got Pat freakin Benetar on that list. How can you put any of her crap ahead of Bark at the Moon, Crazy Train, Sanitarium (or anything off the Master of Puppets album for that matter) Those are all time great songs. And what about Motely Crue and Girls! Girls! Girls!. Timeless classic Wow... EII a voice of reason? 825781[/snapback] I wouldn't say that

That is the most important factor to the list. Most here probably don't remember VH-1 coming onto the scene... There was a big difference between its programming and MTV's... Like taking a easy listening station and putting different genre on that list.

I caught a Behind the Music of Pantera a while back. And I doubt anyone has ever thought of Pantera as easy listening

I tend to think that this list is more to its pure form whenit entered the market... Then again, people were voting... You would think that a lot of their audience changed when they changed... You would think? Maybe the old-schoolers are still watching/voting? I didn't vote...
GoodBye Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 And they omitted Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer And Robert Palmer's Addicted to Love What a crap list. 825230[/snapback] Yeah, i agree. PG has some great songs.
Chilly Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 How the hell did they miss She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult?!?
MadBuffaloDisease Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 How the hell did they miss She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult?!? Because their best song was "Edie (Ciao baby)."
Chilly Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Because their best song was "Edie (Ciao baby)." 826206[/snapback] I love the Cult, great songs all around. Edit (Ciao baby) was a good song too.
rockpile Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Gotta remember Rock that this is a VH-1 list and true to VH-1 it seems accurate... Remember it was MTV that was "cutting edge" and VH-1 came in and offered the poppy/softer hits/side of the story... IMO 824810[/snapback] Did they cancel MTV? I can't find any music channel called MTV now. Actually, when it started I liked VH1 - kind of like MTV unplugged.
rockpile Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Don't listen to him. 824719[/snapback] I never listen to anyone named AJ. I think you would hit it off with my daughter Nikki, AKA Babyrock. She is also a Bills fan and one of my best friends.
