The Cat 3 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 If it will make it easier for anyone, you can make it twenty songs. It'll be a Snakes & Arrows type CD. :laughing guy: A near impossible task...I needed a top ten year by year. I feel like I betrayed some great songs in my process of elimination.

Digital Dad Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Julian Lennon - Valotte Beautiful song. Too bad he used up all his rocket sauce on that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Julian Lennon - Valotte Beautiful song. Too bad he used up all his rocket sauce on that one. the whole album was good. I always wondered why he disappeared after it. I felt sorry for him having to walk in the shadow of his father through life, but I thought he had a talent all his own.

My God Lucas. I wrote "Fast As A Shark" before seeing your list. I remember I was a freshman in high school listening to KVHS which was a local high school radio station. They played all the great hard rock and metal of the early 80's. Everyday was Heaven back then.I will never forget the first day I heard "Fast As A Shark" It blew me out of the water! LOL! My mind was in awe while my eardrums where melting like volcanic goo. EPIC!!!Pun intended as Accept were signed to CBS/EPIC Records! LOL! Do you have "BREAKER?" The album before "Restless And Wild" It's in my top ten of all time!!! Signed, "SON OF A BITCH" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signed, "SON OF A BITCH" Earl, I remember the first time I heard Fast As A Shark also - WDHA here in NJ had a metal show every Friday, and it blew me away too - at that point ( 1982-83 ) I was disillusioned with so many of the bands I had loved - KISS, RUSH, Queen, and AC/DC all lost me, Zep had died, and Aerosmith and Thin Lizzy were basically gone - so it became Accept, Motorhead, Iron Maiden and anything with a Schenker on guitar .. . .

JohnnyBlaze Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Going with the original request of 10 because let's face it, we could all probably list 100 and STILL have a tough time having to exclude some. Here goes... - The Cure : In Between Days...no 80s list should ever exclude The Cure. And that's all there is to it. - Missing Persons : Destination Unknown...when they came out I thought I was looking at some band that could've been playing in a bar in Blade Runner. Forget Dale Bozzio's attire; they made good music. - Metallica : Creeping Death...they used to be so good in the 80s. Here's one of many examples I think of immediately. - Rush : Tom Sawyer...can't not think of Tom Sawyer when it comes to Rush in the 80s. - Queen : Crazy Little Thing Called Love...yeah, they were better in the 70s but this was still fun. - The Clash : Rock the Casbah...such good memories connected to this tune...mostly of watching MTV for hours on end in those days. Martha Quinn! - Triumph : Fight the Good Fight...the other awesome Canadien trio. Just a rockin' good tune! Journey : Someday Soon...not the most popular Journey tune nor their most popular album but I did prefer Perry/Rollie Journey era anyway. AC/DC : You Shook Me All Night Long...this song always made me feel good so it makes the cut. Van Halen : Everybody Wants Some...could've gone dozens of different ways but VH with minimal or no keyboards is best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
