I don't remember what music I listened to in the 80's.
The Police... Phil Collins...the Eurythmics... Billy Idol...
(LOL ~ Rick Springfield!) ZZ Top... the Eagles... Depeche Mode...  Rush
But I don't really remember caring about what any of the music was... if it was there, I listened to it. If it wasn't, I didn't pay it any attention either.

Eagler...back when they actually played music videos, yes...they were great.  Now they compete with VH-1 for the lamest TV shows.  I'll tip my hat to VH-1 for their "Best of" series (Best of the 1981, etc etc)  When they play a marathon of these shows, my day is shot!

One of my high school classmates has nothing but 80's tunes in her car.  She asked me to keep her company for a 3 hour drive to drop her daughter off to her ex one time.  10 minutes into the trip, she tried to slip in "Best of Air Supply".  I told her I'd throw myself from a moving vehicle if she intended to play that  :)  (We were able to negotiate down to "Duran Duran" tunes)

LOL.  I remember when I would actually tape MTV during the night to catch videos that they normally wouldn't play during the day.  I loved watching it and finding something new and exciting.  Or maybe something from the 60's that I hadn't seen nor heard.  Yeah, I remember when MTV actually played music videos.  And the whole bru-haha over Van Halen's 'Oh, Pretty Woman'.  So tame now but boy was it a ruckus back in the day.

I was in my 20s then and just married and starting a family.  My son as he got older started listening to stuff that I'd written off at the time.

I guess the stuff I liked the most the second time around as my son found it was some of the stuff off "Appetite for Destruction" by Guns and Roses

Sweet Child of Mine
Paradise City
Welcome to the Jungle

While they imploded later, at the time they were anything but a hair band.



Guns-N-fk'n-Roses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The real GnR. Man I hate Axl:mad:

Yeah Slash, that was a killer butterin' album.  One of the few you could put on, crank it up, and listen the whole way through.  Mr Brownstone was especially crankable.

What GnR did was not follow the cookie cutter mold that all those 80s bands seemed to have.  They went back to up yours, ram it down your throat rock n roll.  

Like anything that gets big, the music of the 80s seemed to suffer even more then the late 70s manufactured look and sound.  MTV didn't help.

Appetite gave it permission to go it's own way for a bit again.  Not sure if there was another album that had that kind of impact in the 80s.  Sadly I think the success of that album wrecked GnR in the end as they fell prey to the same stuff moving forward.

Forgot to mention these guys. Went to High School with the lead singer, they are from Blue Island,IL.

Very talented bunch. Mostly liked their promo stuff before they made it to MTV, before the record producers chose what type of band they should be. Fist it was Hair Metal then they wanted them to be Grunge.

I used to get M2 b/c there you could still watch music videos, but now it's full of crap, too.

Bunch of teens running that network I think
