I don't think there's a song on this list that I don't know.

Yes I am an 80's fanatic.

I agree with this list to be honest.

Tyler, 10, 36, and 63 are classics around these parts.

In truth, this whole list rocks. I truly wish I was a teenager in the 80's, and not a mere child...that way I could have grown up with music that truly rocked! Instead, I had to listen to Backdoor Boys and N'Stink....stinking up the charts.

Blitzkrieg

Especially AC/DC. There's a big tribute band around this area, very good. I like most of the songs on the list, much better than this recent shit.

WC's Resident Samoan

I was at the end, but it's what my father listened to

The road I walk is paved in gold
To glorify my platinum soul
I am the closest thing to God
So worship me and never stop.
The selfish blood runs through my veins
I gave up everything for fame
I am the life that you adore
I feed the rich and fuck the poor.
This is entertainment
Lives are entertainment
You are down on your knees
Begging me for more.

Inogenius

FUCK YEAH! DEF LEP @ 2!!!

They have a new album coming out this year!

Franchise X

I wish I was back in the 80's and devo is my state of ohio. This Music also brings back some memories.
