The Best 80’s Music
Some of you may be thinking… There was no ‘best’ 80’s music, but give the decade a little love… Oversized blazers and stirrup pants weren’t the worst fashion faux pa in history… maybe. Anyway, we all got through it.
My husband and I recently watched the countdown of best songs of the 80’s on VH1… This should not be confused with other VH1 countdowns like:
‘Top Hair Bands’
‘Top Metal Bands’
‘Top Hair Bands that really are Metal Bands’, etc.
Some notes on 80’s music that I jotted down while watching…
Journey- lead singer Steve Perry, to put it nicely, is not attractive, but has such a great voice- it’s nuts…
Don’t you remember: ‘Don’t stop believing’… Just a small time girl…;
A-Ha- one hit wonder ‘Take on me’- I loved that song- and thought that gap-toothed lead singer was so cute- it a unique sort of way.
CYNDI LAUPER– ‘Girls just wanna have fun’
Are you kidding me-
I love this woman!
Erasure!
Madonna- ‘Like a virgin’, as a freshman in an all girls catholic high school, I was almost scared of Madonna, yet intrigued. I remember seeing one of my friends wearing lace tights and thinking,
‘Oh my gosh, she’s pulling this off! It looks good!’
Prince- ‘When doves cry-
Why is this man attractive when he’s 5 feet tall- BECAUSE he can sing sooo well and arrange all the instruments ,etc.
Def Leppard came in at #2 with ‘Pour some sugar on me’
and Bon Jovi came in at #1 with ‘Living on a Prayer’…
Are you kidding me??? These should be flip-flopped! Come on! I love Def Leppard (yes, I’m a closet Def Leppard fan).
And Jon Bon Jovi looks like he spends way too much time on his hair. Done.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting!!!
Oh…..I have to confess I still love 80’s music. I still have a box of tapes somewhere in the attic. Yes, Def Leppard is one of them. I loved them!! There are quite a few that I would be ashamed to admit I loved (too much laughing would happen)…oh well. I would have loved to have seen the VH1 episode. Fun!
OMG! Where do I start with this one…
OK, first- how did I miss this?! I am kicking myself.
Two – Hubby was just saying the other day that we really should see someone take on Journey on American Idol, and I pointed out that no one would be able to do it justice.
Three – I was OBSESSED with Def Leppard. But I do think it’s kind of weird that those were the top 2 songs. I don’t know that I feel like they really embody the 80’s for me, you know?
Too funny! What a trip down memory lane!
Tell me what you're thinking...
