[Ilov80s]

To quote the great songwriter that I know is top 5 on this list, 

Keep rollin, rollin, rollin- WHAT!!

 

[Ilov80s]

198. Billy Thorpe - Children Of The Sun

It sounds like the most epic intro ever but then there’s no song 

 

[shuke]

196. Eels - Fresh Blood

I love songs where the lead singer yells "whooooo", and this is the pinnacle.  Also, howling.

 

[shuke]

195. Marvin Gaye - What's Going On

 

[shuke]

Get hippling.

Oh, you couldn't possibly want that!

Please?

 

[Ilov80s]

Is it wrong if I like Alone better?

 

[shuke]

194. Monarchs - Come On and Move Me

Audio not as good here but possibly the hottest video on Youtube.

 

[WDIK2]

196. Eels - Fresh Blood

I love songs where the lead singer yells "whooooo", and this is the pinnacle.  Also, howling.

That video is worth watching until the end.  Luchadores and another nice bonus.  

 

[krista4]

Get hippling.

Oh, you couldn't possibly want that!

Please?

Haha, OK.  I'll set myself up with a bottle (or two) of wine and dozens of pages tomorrow evening.  It'll be fun to read.

193. Stealer Wheel - Stuck In The Middle

Who could ever forget this?

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

BONUS MATERIAL ALERT

Before we dive into the top 200, I need to post these three egregious misses on my part.

1001. Simon and Garfunkel - The Boxer

Not sure what happened here.  I could have sworn it was in my list at some point, but maybe I accidentally deleted it.  Should be somewhere in the middle of the top 100.

1002. Guess Who - No Sugar Tonight / New Mother Nature

Not sure how I missed them, but realized last week that I did.  I love this song.  Should be somewhere around 250.

1003. Foghat - Slow Ride

Another miss.  Only explanation I can think of is that when I first started assembling my list, I was trying to stay away from overplayed classic rock, and then when I started to add them back, I missed it.  Should be somewhere around 700.

A few others...

1004. Jonathan Edwards - Sunshine

Hadn't heard it for a long time until recently.  Should be somewhere around 850.

1005. Edwyn Collins - A Girl Like You

This was posted in one of the one hit wonder threads recently.  I don't think I've ever heard it.  Would have put it somewhere in the 900's.

1006. New Madrid - Country Moon Pt. 1

Heard this on Spotify or the radio in recent weeks.  Would have found a spot for it if I had heard it earlier.

Yeah baby!

Let's keep inflate'n this mutha!

I like. Great songs.

 

[Ilov80s]

Yeah baby!

Let's keep inflate'n this mutha!

That Edwyn Collins song is rated about 623 spots too low

[Ilov80s]

Fred  Durst?

The Bob Dylan of his time, the Picasso of a rhyme, he’s like FDR the way he’s always on a dime 

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

191. Elvis Costello - Pump It Up

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

191. Elvis Costello - Pump It Up

Down in the pleasure center, hell-bent or heaven-sent
Listen to the propaganda, listen to the latest slander
There's nothing underhand that she wouldn't understand
Pump it up, until you can feel it
Pump it up, when you don't really need it

Pump it up   ---   I really need it! 

 

[Ilov80s]

I bet I like his stuff - I do know some - I think.

But, no spotlights.

I research Durcasso.

I am totally being sarcastic- please don’t hurt yourself clicking on one of his videos 

 

[Ilov80s]

191. Elvis Costello - Pump It Up

The song that pretty much led me to 80s music 

And yeah I know it’s not 80s itself
