The 80s was a time of mullets and good music. Recently I was arguing with some Gen Y’ers that 80s music was better than the stuff that they listen to. Back then there was no such this as auto-tune or sampling, the artists actually had to be able to sing and play their instruments.
- Aerosmith – Dude Looks Like A Lady
- Whitesnake – Here I Go Again
- Steve Perry – Oh Sherry
- Def Leppard – Rocket
- INXS – Never Tear Us Apart
- Bad English – When I See You Smile
- Bon Jovi – You Give Love A Bad Name
- Joan Jett – I Love Rock N Roll
- Michael Jackson – Thriller
- Dire Straits – Money For Nothing
- Peter Gabriel – Sledgehammer
- The Rolling Stones – The Harlem Shuffle
- Madonna – Papa Don’t Preach
- Cyndi Lauper – Girls Just Want To Have Fun
- Bros – When Will I Be Famous
Sorry, the last couple of songs were a bit silly but they are still better than Justin Bieber. I think I will do another post on this topic a bit later and list such awesome acts as Flock Of Seagulls, Tiffany, Martika, Debbie Gibson, Roxette etc that are still better than the rubbish that Fox FM and Mix play on the radio.
