smh nobody, not even me, mentioned the song that literally brought down the Berlin wall

 

Peak humanity

 

As much as the 80s are easily my least favorite music decade (let’s say 60s on, don’t know much 50s outside kind of blue), I’d put my 80s list up against any other decade’s top 10.

2. Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)
3. Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time
4. Fugazi - Give Me the Cure
5. Joy Division - Atmosphere
6. Public Enemy - Fight the Power
7. Rites Of Spring - For Want Of
8. Marvin Gaye - Sexual Healing
9. Daniel Johnston - True Love Will Find You In the End
10. The Replacements - Bastards of Young

 

1. Public Enemy- Fight the Power

1990s thread

 

how did michael jackson not end up in there anywhere

 

I'm not sure where this post should go but I guess maybe this is a decent thread to start?

I feel like I've given every decade from the 60s on a fair amount of attention, but I need to do a lot more digging into guitar music from the 80s. I'm pretty well versed in chart topping pop things, but aside from that the only artists I really have a decent understanding of are like, The Cure, The B-52s, Prince, & Descendents. I'd love any & all recommendations!!

 

Peter Gabriel - Security(1982) is tops.
