Watching the Wheels - John Lennon.
One Thing Leads to Another - The Fixx Crazy Train - Ozzy Squeeze - Tempted For Those About to Rock - AC/DC ( for the guitar intro alone) And there is no way Would I Lie to You is a better song than Sweet Dreams. P.S. Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd |

Toto/Rosanna [/ QUOTE ] The correct answer is "Africa". We also would have accepted "Hold the Line". No Fleetwood Mac (didn't see it on list) bums me out. -Al |

R.E.M., New Order, The Cure, The Replacements, The Talking Heads, and Tom Waits = the 80s do not suck.

[ QUOTE ] Hall and Oates [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] I know! I like them but I don't really LOVE one song..."Sarah, Smile" would've made it but I think that's in the 70s... [/ QUOTE ] This makes sense. Fair enough Dom. Nice list other than that [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] |

yea i did a quick scan for R.E.M. and the Replacements and when I didn't see them I stopped reading... and then like 6 other people mentioned acts that should be on here or aren't. I'll throw in the Smiths and Husker Du as noticably absent as well.

I forgot:
Run DMC: Walk This Way Beastie Boys: No Sleep Til Brooklyn Public Enemy: Fight the Power* Grandmaster Flash: White Lines * Released as a single in 1989 but also on a 1990 album. If you're getting nitty, then go with "Bring The Noise" from 1988. |

By 80's do you mean a certain style of music or just anything released in the 80's? If it's the latter I don't really like ripping other people's music taste, but this list blows.

Dom,
Great idea for a thread! We need some polls or some way to vote and rank the top 100. My suggestions for bands you left out: Journey - Don't Stop Believin' Survivor - High on You Huey Lewis - Power of Love U2 - With or Without You The Cars - Drive AC/DC - You Shook Me All Night Long Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over Asia - Heat of a Moment Other suggestions for the bands you listed: Bangles - Eternal Flame Pat Benatar - We Belong David Bowie (and Queen) - Under Pressure Berlin - Take my Breath Away Don Henley - End of the Innocence Scandal - The Warrior The Police - King of Pain Van Halen - Jump Toto - Africa Genesis - Throwing it all away Tears for Fears - Everybody wants to rule the world Ones I COMPLETELY agree with: Belinda Carlisle/Mad About You Kim Carnes/Bette Davis Eyes The Cure - Just Like Heaven Murray Head/One Night in Bangkok Hooters/And We Danced Outfield/Your Love Thompson Twins/Hold Me Now Til Tuesday/Voices Carry T'Pau/Heart and Soul Traveling Wilburys/Handle with Care |

Jim Carroll Band/People Who Died [/ QUOTE ] Excellent choice. I agree with about 70%, and disagree with about 30% Van Halen - Running with The Devil Belinda Carlisle - Blue Heaven Toto - Hold the Line A few others I thing I would have gone with another choice. One that sticks out for me that you missed is Marillion - Kayleigh (I think it had more airplay in Europe) - I'm pretty sure it was in the 80's - great song Oops - Running with the Devil - 70's |
