filthy's Mixed '80s Rankdown vol.1 (revealing :o )

[filthy]

sup

Welcome to a cultural throwback.

We are going to rank 30 timeless masterpieces from the greatest decade of music: the 1980's!     
All 30 songs are by different artists and were picked based on recognisability, personal preferences, and quality.

If you participated in Unhinged ' 1980s Billboard series, you should already know some of these songs, considering an abundance of them were included in his series, and are all fairly well-known throughout Pulse.
They all helped define modern pop music, and I've thrown a few other genres in there (hence the name of this rd  )

Go explore (and revisit) some of the most iconic songs of all time!

1. An inverse point system will be used

2. You must rank all the songs from 1 to 30, with 1 being your favorite and 30 being your least favorite. (if there is a remix you prefer, you can rank that instead. It is not necessary notifying me whether you do or not)

3. PM me (@ filthy) your rankings

4. Deadline is March 17th

---

Now, the songs:

Billy Joel - We Didn’t Start The Fire
Bryan Adams - Heaven
Chaka Khan - Ain’t Nobody
Crowded House - Don’t Dream It’s Over
Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time
Daryl Hall & John Oates - You Make My Dreams
Dexys Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen
George Harrison - Got My Mind Set On You
George Michael - Careless Whisper
INXS - What You Need
John Lennon - Watching The Wheels
Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone
Kool & The Gang - Get Down On It
Marvin Gaye - Sexual Healing
Michael Jackson - Another Part Of Me
Olivia Newton-John - Physical
Patti Austin, James Ingram - Baby, Come To Me
Paul Simon - You Can Call Me Al
Prince - Raspberry Beret
Queen - Radio Ga Ga
Sade - The Sweetest Taboo

The Cure - Just Like Heaven
Toto - Rosanna
U2 - I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For

The song that killed "hair" metal, right?

TRIVIA: The word "swing," or a derivative thereof, is sung 20 times in that song.

[samo🦕]

bump

[willapted33]

will do this tomorrow

[Az Paynter]

This slipped my mind. I'm gonna crank a list out when I'm done with Billboard 1981.

[filthy]

YO yo yo
I am exceedingly sorry for not reminding everybody about this rankdown.
I haven't even put in the lists I've been receiving lately. Sorry!
I've been very busy with a serious matter in my personal life, and I'm planning on making my return to Pulse - by continuing where I left off.

I am therefore extending this RD some weeks - until March 10th.

The extension and the fact I know most of these make me an IN at this point.

I'll give this a shot.

I love the song, but in a way what you say is true. Jani Lane never liked and didn't even wanna write it, because they were not a "Sleaze Rock" band ,but Columbia sorta forced him too in the sense that they wanted a party rock anthem that would catch on the minute you heard it. Talented as he was Jani wrote it in fifteen minutes. It became huge on radio and MTV, but it wasn't even that song in particular as much as the onslaught of Power ballads the records companies also wanted the rock bands to write that killed off "Hair Metal". In the end the whole Glam Rock sabotage by the music industry which is how I always saw it pissed me off, because 'Cherry Pie; LP has some great songs on it. In particular "Uncle Tom's Cabin" which was supposed to be the original title of the record.  The one good thing that came out of that whole experience was the Jani hooked up with Bobbie Brown. The blonde in the video.  ;)

Hubba hubba!

Coincidentally, I saw this picture on a website I was reading the other day.

Any chance for an extension?

[filthy]
