fandandy 3,311 Posted January 5, 2018 I'll never judge anyone's taste in music however I have to ask why the Michael Jackson pick then? If it was for popular vote I get that or do you prefer MJ over Yes? Again,whatever your tastes in music are fine with me I'm just trying to select iconic songs that I wouldn't be ashamed to have blaring with my window down when I pull up to a stop light. When I think 80's I think Michael Jackson and Van Halen's Jump, among many others. A song from MJ and Jump were my first two picks. That song from Yes is a great song but I couldn't see drafting it over the three I chose thus far. As you said though, it's subjective and some are drafting solely based on what they would play at home, I'm drafting more of what reminds me most of the 80's and what I think represents that decade in popular music. I wouldn't turn Billie Jean up to 10, that's for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought your picks were great was just curious how you were choosing.As a former mobile DJ I learned to like it all,especially if a nice tip was involved for getting their requested song on next.

shotsup 832 Posted January 5, 2018 Doves cry is #1. I'd go Little Red Corvette #2, and Raspberry Beret #3. Not to name drop, but I think Prince is safely out of the bag.

Voltaire 4,564 Posted January 5, 2018 I've got a song that was released in 1990 but doesn't belong in that musically crapass decade. It's really an 80s song that just came along a bit late to the party is all. I figured though I'd have to toss it back in. I swear, if I were to do this for the 90s, every song I pick would have been released in '90 or '91. I graduated HS in '89, went in the Army off to Germany and then ran around the Iraqi desert and when I got back stateside in '92 everything sucked musically.

RaiderHaters Revenge 3,594 Posted January 5, 2018 Need a ruling on my next potential pick. Song was written well before 1980 but was re released as a cover in the 80s and was a huge hit. However it contained the original band as well. I probably gave it away but curious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,564 Posted January 5, 2018 There's a great story to how and why that song was written. I don't know the story. I poke fun but I am glad that the collaboration happened. It revived Aerosmith because they were pretty much done by the early 80s and this kicked them into gear such that they came back with some good tunes in that later half of the 80s which we may not have gotten otherwise.

titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted January 5, 2018 Ok. Fandandy told me the song he's talking about. It was released in late November 1979, early December in the US, and made its initial billboard appearance in 1980 from what I can tell. It pains me to do this for two reasons. One, its such a focking great song. And two, now i'll have to rule on a million borderline cases. But this one's so close, I have to allow it. Go ahead Fandandy.

nzoner 936 Posted January 5, 2018 What's the story? The band was needing a big hit for the Toys In The Attic project and apparently their creative juices weren't flowing and as it was getting late in the evening the guys were getting a little chippy with one another so Steven Tyler suggested they take a break,get stoned and go see a movie.The movie was a midnight showing of Young Frankenstein and if you've seen the movie I think you can put the rest of it together. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted January 5, 2018 I pickeded. Yes you did. Sorry. Entered. And fandandy's pick was pm'd to me. 3.08 Another Brick In the Wall (Part II) - Pink Floyd Here are the guidelines for future borderline picks. If it was released at the end of 1979, like the above, I will allow it. I mean the end. Not August. If it is a cover, like Walk This Way, so long as the COVER was released in the 80's, fine. But you get the cover version of course. Sorry Volty, December 1989 is the cutoff. If it was released in 1990, it was first heard by us in the 1990's. Doesn't count. Those are my thoughts.
