VH1's Greatest Songs of the 80s

 

 

2. Def Leppard / "Pour Some Sugar On Me"  Real name of song was "Awesome Sugar Honey"

 

8. Madonna / "Like a Virgin"    ;)  This song was by Debbie Gibson, not Madonna

 

9. Run-D.M.C. / "Walk This Way"  This song was by Aerosmith and not even in the 80s.  It was from the 70s.

 

 

 

18. Dexy's Midnight Runners / "Come On Eileen"  This song is from a porno and they spelled it wrong

 

21. Michael Jackson / "Beat It" Another porno song but I'm not sure if it was the same flick.

 

25. Go-Go's / "Our Lips Are Sealed" I think they mean "I love Cecile"  A little lesbo-ish but a good beat.

 

32. Night Ranger / "Sister Christian"  They say the phrase "Sister Christian" a lot in the song but I believe the title was "You're Motorhead".

I can't argue with any of this because music is all about personal preferences. Their list was full of mistakes which I have corrected in your quote.

If you're going to make a list, at least get the facts straight. :doh:

And what about Motley Crue and Girls! Girls! Girls!.  Timeless classic.

Appropriate for dev/null. A song that's been overplayed at every strip club in America and on the Canadian Ballet for the last 15 years.

80s had great music-it was back when underground was really "underground"-not mainstream. The 80s also included Circle Jerks, Minor Threat, Black Flag, Husker Du, The Subhumans, Dead Kennedys, COC, Dead Milkmen, Bad Brains, Dinasaur Jr, Public Enemy, Buffalo Tom, Meat Puppets, The Feelies, Guided By Voices, Social Distortion, Ramones, Peter Tosh, Minutemen, Fugazi, Butthole Surfers, Jesus and Mary Chain, Happy Mondays, Nick Cave, Screaming Trees, Mudhoney...dont forget the 80s spawned Nirvana, Sublime, Tool, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Jeff Buckley...the 80s was a !@#$ing brilliant decade of music!

Forgot about that one- great song, great band. Love Removal Machine was another great album. I played Love to death in college- until I heard Nothings Shocking by Janes Addiction. Good times!

Also, Sunday Bloody Sunday?

Judas Priest Breaking The Law

police every breath you take

styx- mr. roboto

tom petty- free fallin

Best song ever ... but was there a video ?

 

And it was the 80's underground that MADE video television. VH 1 should pay some respect.

 

There is enough lame band footage on that list to make such a show unwatchable even if you like the music.

Actually a 90s song

 

But I get your point.  They should have at least given some love to "One" (the only Metallica song of the 80s with a video)

 

No Metallica No Peace!!!

Got no problem with that one. Saw their concert last year. OUTSTANDING!!!

 

If you live in Buffalo and want to see a local band cover BJ better than BJ themselves, these guys are them
