VH1's 100 greatest songs of the 80s. Anyone have the list?
I seem to only find 1-20. I was watching it with my wife and we wondered how many of them we actually still have. But I need the list. Anyone help out? Gracias.

Yeah, yeah, I know this isn't what you were asking, but I figured i'd try to help you save face...:p
After consulting my iPod, I have everything except 12 and 84. |
Take On Me is way too low. Stupid VH1. They don't appreciate a Logan's Run ripoff when they see one.
|
That's sweet U2 and the real GNR are in there twice:)
Overall it's an Ok list i suppose. |
Too bad no Oingo Boingo.

It's the 80's. Try not to take the list too seriously.

VH1 lists are a mostly a freaking joke.
Berlin's "the Metro" is a lot better than "take my breath away" Just ONE Depeche Mode song, and its "Just can't get enough", WTF? |

Like Nena / "99 Luftbaloons" -- there was this kid in my dorm in college (late '80s) who played this song over and over and over again. I mean for seemingly weeks at a time. Weird kid, luckily my room wasn't too close to his. |
'Cars' was released in 1979.
|
Surprised there is no When in Rome - The Promise or Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls
|
Also:
Anything Box - Living in Oblivion and Alphaville - Forever Young |
INXS should have had a couple more songs on there. KICK itself had many TOP 10 hits.
|
I can think of some pretty significant omissions
F___ That Police - NWA I'm Your Pusher - Ice T Master of Puppets - Metallica Angel of Death - Slayer These songs are as important, influential, and well-loved today as anything on the VH1 list. |
