05.17.11 | Damn it the only album cover that didnt show artwork is one of the coolest cause it shows John Oates mustache |
AngelofDeath
05.17.11 | All 'bout 2, 22, and 66. |
Tyrael
05.17.11 | God I love 2. Great list Hans |
WatchItExplode
05.17.11 | It amazes me how you can just crank out awesome comprehensive lists like this...well done
INXS - Kick is the one of the first tapes I ever owned....I stole it from my 20 something uncle cuz I though Devil Inside was so cool |
BigHans
05.17.11 | Thanks Explode, doesnt hurt I DJ'd at an 80s pop station back in the day and grew up with this stuff on the radio |
WatchItExplode
05.17.11 | Yeah I could come up with something comparable but it would take me 3-4 hrs |
Sanders
05.17.11 | Fucking love Dire Straits, Simply Red, Crowded House and Eurythmics. |
BigHans
05.17.11 | Took me about an hour all told |
Sanders
05.17.11 | I can't work out if I prefer Eurythmics or Annie Lennox's solo stuff...both were pretty instrumental in my upbringing. |
BigHans
05.17.11 | I prefer Eurthymics, although I can say I am very famiiar with Annies solo stuff |
WatchItExplode
05.17.11 | exactly...I would get to 20-25 then have to research hard to remember stuff......too bad you weren't a dj in the 80's when it was a glamorous job which ensured you'd pull primo tail
I'm gonna get that INXS, make a badass 80's comp then have my GF drive me around the lake while I sit in the passenger seat with a case tomorrow night....I have been inspired |
Sanders
05.17.11 | Yeah, the only reason I think I prefer the solo stuff is because they were radio tunes when I was young, Eurythmics on the radio was a coupla years before my time. My dad kept me in the 80s loop with his tapes though. |
Nagrarok
05.17.11 | Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) is still one of my favourite 80's songs. |
BigHans
05.17.11 | I'm gonna get that INXS, make a badass 80's comp then have my GF drive me around the lake while I sit in the passenger seat with a case tomorrow night....I have been inspired
^ That sounds awesome
Sanders - honestly the only lennox solo song I can even recall off the top of my head is Walking on Broken Glass |
Sanders
05.17.11 | Hans, these are the 2 that remind me of growing up:
Why:

and No More I Love You's
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MS1jAvCycCY
They stick in my head for days when I hear them. |
BigHans
05.17.11 | ah, after watching Ive defintiely heard those before, actually surprised I didnt know them by name. |
BigHans
05.17.11 | whres old man Omni? |
bloc
05.17.11 | Best list I've seen in a while. I looooooove 80's pop. |
BigHans
05.17.11 | fuck yeah Bloc, fellow 80s pop fan who enjoys it unironically |
Nomad
05.17.11 | Great list, nice to see some love for no.4 |
Maniac!
05.17.11 | I hate Rod Stewart with a flaming passion.
The Faces were pretty decent, though.
1 is a guilty pleasure. |
omnipanzer
05.17.11 | I've owned almost all of these.
17: first album to sell 1 million copies on CD.
couldn't agree more on 15 and 21
Props on 4 |
Nomad
05.17.11 | 27 might be my ultimate guilty pleasure.
Listening to Maaarvin....ALL NIGHT LAH-HOONG!!! |
BigHans
05.17.11 | I dont have alot of "albums" from 80s pop aritists. I tend to go the greatest hits route, or back in Limewire/early Napster days, just downloading certain songs.
That said, I have some of these on album, mostly the ones in the first third of the list |
BigHans
05.17.11 | Brandon I get the hate for Rod Stewart but you gotta admit Every Picture Tells a Story is a classic album. Well, if youve heard it. |
bloc
05.17.11 | Da Ya Think I'm Sexy? is the jam |
Maniac!
05.17.11 | I abhor everything he did post-Faces |
BigHans
05.17.11 | Reason to Believe and Every Picture Tells a Story are timeless songs. |
WatchItExplode
05.17.11 | Just realized this list should have Men Without Hats. |
BigHans
05.17.11 | werent in the database |
BigHans
05.17.11 | shit, maybe they are, must have messed up earlier, cause meant to put them on. |
omnipanzer
05.17.11 | "Brandon I get the hate for Rod Stewart but you gotta admit Every Picture Tells a Story is a classic album. Well, if youve heard it."
He has some very noteworthy songs and his time with The Faces is legend.
Youtube: The Faces - Ooh La La |

05.17.11 | I wish pop was still like this. |

05.17.11 | WHEEL IN THE SKY KEEPS ON TURNING, DON'T KNOW WHERE I'LL BE TOMORROW. |
BigHans
05.17.11 | ONE LOVE FEEDS THE FIRE
ONE HEART BURNS DESIRE
WONDER WHOSSSSSSSSSS CRYING NOWWWWWWW |
Sanders
05.17.11 | I wish pop was still like this. [2] |
omnipanzer
05.17.11 | I know wheel in the sky wasn't a big hit but I love it. I love the guitar outro... I don't think I'll ever get it out of my head. |
BigHans
05.17.11 | Neil Schon = guitar legend |
omnipanzer
05.17.11 | ^ agreed |
ConsiderPhlebas
05.17.11 | I think I'm gonna just listen to 80s and 90s shit all summer. Still play 31 all the time. |
BigHans
05.17.11 | classic rock + 80s pop + hair metal + cock rock + 90s alt +manly metal = summer |
JamieTwort
05.17.11 | Hair Metal is the ultimate summer music for me. |
BigHans
05.17.11 | It probably is for me too. |
tiesthatbind
05.17.11 | WHEN THE LIGHTS...GO DOWN...IN THE CITY |
BigHans
05.17.11 | OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH I want to be therrrrrrrrrrrrre in my city |
tiesthatbind
05.17.11 | That whole Greatest Hits CD is awesome. I grew up with it and still love it. |
BigHans
05.17.11 | Seen Journey twice, each time it was with a different Steve Perry replacement. Still rocked though. |
omnipanzer
05.17.11 | "Hair Metal is the ultimate summer music for me."
We kind of guessed that JT lol. |
Jethro42
05.17.11 | 14 = One of my least favorite Genesis album, sorry Hans. |
JamieTwort
05.18.11 | "We kind of guessed that JT lol."
LOL. Classic Rock would be up there too if it wasn't for the fact that I listen to it all year round, I expect you guessed that too ;) |
omnipanzer
05.18.11 | Yes sir. ;^) |
Edwin
05.18.11 | I'd get some Stevie Nicks up in here myself, but this list still rules. |
omnipanzer
05.18.11 | 4, or are you talking solo?
I think Little Lies and Big Love kind of trump anything she did solo.
I take it back, Landslide is pretty win and gets mad covers but that's the only song I can think of that competes. |
Edwin
05.18.11 | Oh, didn't see that 4 was on here. But yeah I was talking solo, Bella Donna rules. |
omnipanzer
05.18.11 | In my heart. |
AggravatedYeti
05.18.11 | oh man Hans
THIS LIST. |
BigHans
05.18.11 | yeah forgot Bowie |
johnholly1039
05.18.11 | Where's London Calling? |
BigHans
05.18.11 | in my defense, most of Bowies 80's stuff is absolutely, incredibly gay |
omnipanzer
05.18.11 | I don't agree but I can see why YOU would say that.

BigHans
05.18.11 | dude, you HAVE seen the video for Dancing in the Streets right? |
omnipanzer
05.18.11 | Still more manly than 1 or 2.
/tap foot |
BigHans
05.18.11 | lol that video is the unmanliest thing ever. |
omnipanzer
05.18.11 | No one has ever made a half naked dancing chick look gayer than Prince pal.
Have you seen the guitars... Have you seen the guitars? |
BigHans
05.18.11 | yeah but Purple Rain annhilates anything Bowie did in the 80s. I actually dislike most of Bowies 80s stuff, from what Ive heard anyway. Now his 70s stuff is another story entirely. |
omnipanzer
05.18.11 | I hate purple rain. Well, half the album and all of the movie anyway. |
BigHans
05.18.11 | the movie is a train wreck but I dont let it discredit the album |
omnipanzer
05.18.11 | 1999 is better |
BigHans
05.18.11 | Little Red Corvette is his best song |
omnipanzer
05.18.11 | he has a few from that album I like equally really. |
TheNotrap
06.23.11 | A very interesting list |
BigHans
11.08.11 | best list ever |

Also, props for including Remain In Light on here. |
foxblood
11.08.11 | good list. the 80's is filled with an endless amount of amazing albums to discover |
BigHans
11.08.11 | I wish I had added Billy Ocean to the database when I made this list. |

08.02.13 | Pop will never be this good again.

DominionMM1
01.29.14 | i remember a bunch of these songs from those shitty late night commercials selling 80's comps back in the early 90's |
BigHans
01.29.14 | Yeah man, those ones where they gave you like 11 CDS for 200 bucks |
TheNotrap

04.28.21 | 80’s radio absolutely kills and crushes it for me these days, because it’s the era where my favourite 90’s alternative Québécois bands “Grimskunk” and “Groovy Aardvark” formed! |
