Re: VH1's Top 100 Songs from the 80's Their list sucks. They never pick the best songs of any decade. I can think of many songs better than the ones listed but I guess mainstream is what they are interested in.
Re: VH1's Top 100 Songs from the 80's I probably would have put Def Leppard one, and stuck Bon Jovi down to two or three. It hurts to see Micheal Jackson and Prince on the list though.

Especially in Jackson's case. He was one of the top artists of the 80s hands down. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Their list sucks.

Even if he is a weirdo now, he, at the very least, was a fantastic musician.Edit: Also, I love how they fully credit Walk This Way to Run DMC, even though the song was originally just Aerosmith.
Re: VH1's Top 100 Songs from the 80's I know Prince and MJ were good, but I just severely dislike their music with a burning passion.People don't give enough credit to Run-DMC. It was these hip hop artists that relaunched Aerosmith's career. Aerosmith was pretty washed up before that hit.

Aerosmith was washed up because of all the drugs they were taking with Steven Tyler and them stop practicing their instruments. Of course it would take a couple years to get back into the groove after taking a few years off. The Permanent Vacation cd of theirs is pretty good. Run-DMC didn't save Aeromsith. :ranting: :no3:
