[DannyAnnie]

Darkside by Eddie and the Cruisers

[TachyonEvan]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that "Just What I Needed" by the Cars is the greatest pop song of ALL time. Period.

[thesafeword]

What 80's music? I'm pretty sure that they didn't have MySpace and last.fm in the 80's, therefore no music.

[what_ever]

Beat It, Fade to Black, or Don't Stop Believing.

[TachyonEvan]

Beat it - maybe.

But it's not the Cars.

[what_ever]

Beat it - maybe.

But it's not the Cars.

As far as pop goes.... MJ > The Cars.

[TachyonEvan]

Yeah, but MJ was less consistent.

MJ has some pretty bad material.

Same with Prince, even though Prince is a God.

OOOH!. Let's Go Crazy. Best song EVAR.

[oddwithoutend]

Don't Stop Believing.

You win.

[Carlo Marx]

oingo boingo was the best band to come out of the 80's.

violent love, on the outside, or not my slave would have to be my favorites by them.

[Carlo Marx]

Yeah, but MJ was less consistent.

MJ has some pretty bad material.

Same with Prince, even though Prince is a God.

OOOH!. Let's Go Crazy. Best song EVAR.

Prince did manage to put out a legitimately good album back in 03 or 04. Musicology. such a solid release.

[kearn1tm]
