Members Dr. Scottie C Posted February 21, 2013 Members Share Posted February 21, 2013 Some say 80's music sucked..... others argue it's by a country mile the best decade for music ever thanks to hair metal and a large helping of Brit & American pop...... either way, if you had to choose your favorite 10 songs from this decade, any genre, what would they be?

Members kayd_mon Posted February 21, 2013 Members Share Posted February 21, 2013 Here's a few Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic - The Police Goldilox - King's X Frame by Frame - King Crimson Take on Me - A Ha Kayleigh - Marillion Billie Jean - Michael Jackson Jump - Van Halen Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2 Money for Nothing - Dire Straits Really, my favorite 80s music is King's X, King Crimson, The Police, and occasionally Van Halen. Soundgarden has some stuff in the 80s, and I'm a big fan of them. I don't like that much hair band stuff, I prefer 80s pop over rock most of the time. I could just pick 10 King's X songs from their first two albums, and you'll pretty much have my most listened to 80s list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BydoEmpire Posted February 21, 2013 Members Share Posted February 21, 2013 Tough to pick 10 songs from an entire decade - top 10 albums would be easier. Not my favorite decade for music, but there was a ton of great stuff. In no particular order: Ain't Gone N Give Up On Love - SRV (my favorite SRV slow blues) Rude Mood - SRV (classic SRV instrumental) Call It Sleep - Steve Vai (one my favorite early Vai tunes) Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits (gotta have some Mark Knopfler on here, going with the obvious classic) Black Star - Yngwie Malmsteen (had to pick one song off Rising Force) Master of Puppets - Metallica (gotta have at least one Metallica song here, too) Hot for Teacher - Van Halen (hard to pick one VH tune, but this is so recognizable. 1984 is such a great album). On The Turning Away - Pink Floyd (great song from a great album) Always With Me, Always With You - Joe Satriani (a instrumetnal rock classic) Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - U2 (not a huge U2 fan in general, but Joshua Tree is an amazing album).

Members slvrsrpnt Posted February 21, 2013 Members Share Posted February 21, 2013 I had a slightly different version of the 80's than most.

Mercyful Fate - Come to the Sabbath6. Destruction - Release From Agony7. Wargasm - Undead8. Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell9. Ozzy Osbourne - SATO10.Motorhead - Rock and Roll There are quite a lot more, but these just rolled off the old head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
