THE Greatest 80's Song ... My Pick Will Rattle You (1 Viewer)

[Mister CIA]

Has this been decided yet?

Generally I was never a fan of 80s music, but yet there I was.

If I could only pick one, it's gotta be Just Like Heaven. I won't begrudge Michael Jackson fans, nor Tears For Fear apprecianados.

Police fans, you can go paint the ceiling beige.

Wrong version, Kasey.

Come on. I'd probably put Just Like Heaven in my top 5 or 10 of the 80's, but you can't say this Fugazi song is just "okay".

Revision: It's good, but it's not a contender.

 

[shuke]

Was "Boys Don't Cry" 80's, because it's a better Cure song.

I know its your thread and all, but having a guy with a Bowser icon position himself as the 80s single expert is going to be tough sailing.

Love the song but it falls short.

Nope, he had it right the first time with Just Like Heaven.

Fantastic song.

 

[Amused to Death]

This ain't no Mudd Club, or CBGB's

Wonder how much coke David Byrne was on.

 

[Hov34]

Not even the best Cure song of the 80's

Here it is dumb###.

Was "Boys Don't Cry" 80's, because it's a better Cure song.

Of all the whiny cure songs, that one's the worst

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Not your typical 80s single - but it still remains a standard.

Revised rankings

1. Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime

2. Prince - Purple Rain
3. Fugazi - Waiting Room
4. The Cure - Just Like Heaven

Love of music is a process which I embrace.

Police fans, you can go paint the ceiling beige.

There are probably a dozen better Cure songs than this.

 

[Drunken Poster]

The cure has 50 songs better than Boys Don't Cry

Have not clicked the link yet. It had better be The Replacements.

maybe my favorite Tears for Fears track

 

[Drunken Poster]

T'Pau was everything the 80s wanted to be

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

This ain't no Mudd Club, or CBGB's

Wonder how much coke David Byrne was on.

Lots and lots.

I actually wasn't that into the Talking Heads in the '80s but now it's obvious to me that they were the best part of the decade.

 

[Mister CIA]

T'Pau was everything the 80s wanted to be

Good stuff.

[Binky The Doormat]

The Who still dominated in the early-mid 80s on MTV

Athena

Eminence Front - Don't allow our young posting acquaintance to sully the good name of this song

 

[Mister CIA]

maybe my favorite Tears for Fears track

Worst song I've heard today.
