80s0n8 Big 40 Countdown Schedule

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

I always dug Honeymoon Suite, and Feel it Again had something that was pretty refreshing in the middle of all of that 80's chaos.

I always figured that they would be on the radio longer than they were.

They were on several years here in Canada.

 

[HecticArt]

I know they had hits in the US off of their first 2 albums, and have generally kept playing.
I haven't really checked out their other albums, but thought they would still get more radio play.

They do still on Canadian stations. We still have CANCON rules and they fit.

I'll have to spend some time on the Youtube browsing their newer content.

We started playing New Girl Now, so I had looked up some live performances to see where they were playing some of the chords, and saw how much they have been playing live over the years.

9. Your love - The Outfield.

Anyone else find this song creepy?



I like my girls a little bit older ...

How young is she?

 

[HecticArt]

Young enough to make him think, but not walk away. AKA, the magic years.

1988 this week. Lots of crap from 40-20.

This would be my last free weekend. On Sunday the 15th, I would be on my way to a hotel in downtown LA, waiting to go to MEPS the next day, & then down to San Diego for bootcamp.

1988

31. MAN IN THE MIRROR - MICHAEL JACKSON
12. DEVIL INSIDE - INXS
6. ALWAYS ON MY MIND - PET SHOP BOYS

The above 3 songs are the only songs I recognize, have heard and/or do not make me want to puke. I hate 1988 & 1989 countdowns.

 

[Aaron]

That countdown was weak. But I did find maybe 18 songs I liked.

 

[semipenguin]

I swear, I used to think she was saying "Simple in the sack" & not "Circle in the Sand" #30

Billy Ocean was good. Springsteen, too

 

[microbob]

Never heard this one before.

38. RITUAL - DAN REED NETWORK

I have never heard either before. At least I have no memory of them.

so many forgettable bubblegum songs on here. even established rock acts went over-the-top-pop like bruce, aerosmith, hall & oates and foreigner.

21. EVERYTHING YOUR HEART DESIRES - DARYL HALL & JOHN OATES
i will admit i do like this one. i actually used to listen to this whole album back in the day.

14. ONE MORE TRY - GEORGE MICHAEL
i used to listen to this whole album back in the day too. but if i could reach the cassette player, i skipped this one. same with kissing a fool.

13. WAIT - WHITE LION
finally something that kicks!

6. ALWAYS ON MY MIND - PET SHOP BOYS
i dig this one. i dig all of introspective too actually

3. ANGEL - AEROSMITH
i used to play this cassette start to end too, but this was the weakest song.

Vito!
It's too bad he hung up his guitar.

1985. One of the best countdown ever. It's hard to think that at 15yrs old, music would basically go down hill after that.

#14 Don't Come Around Here No More by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers



The absolute best 80s video. Maybe best ever video.

Not Sledgehammer. Not Money for Nothing.

 

[semipenguin]

This is also on this week's countdown

Sorry, both Sledgehammer (1986) and Money For Nothing were superior videos. That one wasn't bad just not better than those 2.

 

[HecticArt]

I'd say that they are in the top 5 together.
