1980s in Songs Bracket • Page 3

well, when you have Rick James producing your shit, yeah lol.

 

Lionel Richie had some bangers too that decade

 

He has bangers in so many decades

 

true, but the 80s were my favorite.

 

and of course, God himself, Eric Claptons 1989 album Journeyman

I wasn't influenced by my dad musically as a kid or anything, lol.

 

animal-def leppard
too young to fall in love-motley crue
ballad of jayne-la guns
anything goes-guns n' roses
panama-van halen
still of the night-whitesnake

 

thank you for not saying "pour some sugar on me"

 

Going through withdrawals of people’s lists. I eat this shit up

 

hysteria is such a great album but i absolutely hate that song lol

 

Hysteria is one of my favorite albums and I HATEEEEE when people are like "Oh that's the pour some sugar on me album"...No, no its fucking not lol. Like take a damn risk and listen to Love Bites or Armageddon It for Christ sake!

 

it's a genuine hit machine. like how many songs off that album became hits. love bites, rocket, armageddon it, animal. almost every song is a single lol

 

I feel like Photograph should have been on Hysteria. A seriously underrated song.

 

Once again I'm just gonna go with the songs that pop into my head when I think 80's songs that I like, and trying not to repeat bands

1. The Cure-Just Like Heaven
2. The Smiths-Asleep
3. The Church-Under The Milky Way Tonight
4. Echo and the Bunnymen- The Killing Moon
5. Toto-Africa
6. Michael Jackson-Thriller
7. Melle Mel-White Lines (I always thought this was Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five...oops)
8. Sugarhill Gang-Apache
9. I Ran-Flock of Seagulls
10. Time After Time-Cyndi Lauper

This is...really hard. Especially to not let bands repeat. I'm definitely forgetting songs I love tbh. But this is what I think of first when I think 80s haha

 

Like I probably should have put a Metallica song on there. And def a hair metal band somewhere. But.

 

Metallica probably would have sued you

 

did anyone list a Skid row song?

I fucking loveeeeee me some Sebastian Bach.

 

White Lines always makes me think of this

 

lol same. But I also think of the Leftovers now because of the one scene that used it

 

No way I can just do one from each artist. Way too many Pixies/Cure/Smiths cuts.

 

they came so late that i feel like they get passed over but that self-titled album is a banger

 

I will never forget the MTV Cribs episode with him. guy is fucking hilarious.

He was also on Gilmore Girls which was just wild!

 

he has the biggest KISS collection i've ever seen and it made me so jealous lmao.
did you ever watch supergroup?

 

1. Pixies - Monkey Gone to Heaven
2. Talking Heads - This Must Be the Place
3. Queen - Play the Game
4. The Smiths - Asleep
5. Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart
6. The Cure - Just Like Heaven
7. Bruce Springsteen - I'm on Fire
8. Fleetwood Mac - Gypsy
9. Don Henley - The Boys of Summer
10. Nirvana - About a Girl

Killed me leaving "Fast Car" off.

edit: Damn, forgot about "Play the Game" and "Gypsy"

 

I think i saw some of it

 

I could’ve sworn “Fast Car” was ‘91 and I feel dumb for not double checking
