I realize taste is a personal thing and all, but how & quot; Living On A Prayer& quot; tops this list is beyond me. Good hub though. allshookup 8 years agofrom The South, United States.

Great hub! Brings back memories of me and my husband dating! THE decade for music. Sounds great! Can't beat that music! Bear 8 years agoi still heaven't found what i looking for?

Born in the USA at 4. No Once in a Lifetime? What about & quot; One& quot; ? Where the Streets Have No Name? I Still haven't Found What I'm Looking For? Cum on Feel the Noize? Born to Run? Purple Rain?

Lists courtesy of Gordon Stephen unless stated otherwise. MOJO: THE 100 GREATEST ALBUMS EVER MADE August 1995 Edition 1. The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds. Opry Video Classics: Duets. No need to check the thermostat. The heat's coming from the TV screen when legendary country stars team up in Duets.

Boy's Don't Cry? There was also a serious lack of hip- hop on this list. Fight the Power was way too low in the rankings as well.

So many songs I thought would've been obvious choices were completely neglected and replaced with crap like & quot; Wake me up Before you go go& quot; and & quot; Hungry like a wolf.& quot; Some good choices, but totally laughable overall. I mean shouldn't they have had like 1 song per artist???

Only Michael Jackson deserved 2 songs cuz in my opinion is the definition of 8. Brings back high school memories - - great hub !!

Alexdangelo 8 years ago. I can't believe that Pet Shop Boys is not in the list! This was based on votes, so all you should have voted if you have such a problem with it. And you know what? I think it's perfect, just as long as Bon Jovi is first.

I'm not the only one if thousands thought so as well. Christian Sylvester 8 years ago. You spin me right round baby right round like a record baby! Craig 8 years ago.

What a silly list- a glaring omission of truly great and important records from . C. J. R 8 years ago. VH1 Sucks, Bon Jovi #1?? Did they do the survey in the meadowlands?? Clearly the #1 should be the Police- Every Breath You Take. Defines the decade.

Where are Tears for Fears, Thompson Twins, Spandeau Ballet, New Order, Don Henley, and finally how could you have wannabe Springstein John Mellencamp and no Bruce Springstein. And there is NO way Bon Jovi can get #1. Sorry, Bon Jovi fans. The Way U Make Me Feel by michael jacksoniun 8 years agoyes where is billy joel and journey needs to be represented more on this list.

R 8 years ago. My mom loves these songs.. I think there's a difference between the . I, for one, love Iron Maiden and I don't think I would have put them on here.

And anyone knocking Devo as a crummy one- hit pop band needs to shut the Hell up; Devo was about as deep, political and meaningful as a band can be. Maybe if you'd listen to something besides fucking Whip It then you'd see that they have more to say than half the bands who consider themselves punk today. My only real complaint about the list is.. No eye of the tiger by survivor? No songs by Starship??

The power of love has got to be first! And you seriously need Billy Joel`s songs in there and more of journey too. However, good choices with Jump by van halen.

Not really a fan of bon jovi. BY MICHAEL JACKSON WAS THE BIGGEST ACT OF THE 8. S AND HOW COME HE DOESN'T HAVE MORE SONGS ON THAT LIST? I agree with the above , but c'mon, that's a dang good list. Susanna 8 years ago.

Where the heck is Lambada? Betina 8 years agothis isn't the guys personal list people. I Ran, along with gary numan and dead or alive should be bumped waay up.. CNR 8 years ago. Not enough Depeche Mode, where's New Order and what happen to 'Shout' Tears for fears! Metallica should have been number 1.

Where are they? They are completely not well represented. It's a shame. Jay 8 years ago. Wheres The Smiths on this List? How Soon is Now or There is A Light That Never Goes Out. Micheal 8 years ago. Great list. Definitely some great songs here.

Sly 8 years ago. Nice list but why i don't see anyone song roxette ? Its joke ! Keith 8 years ago. Oh WOW. That ruins the whole list!

Serena 8 years ago. I agree with Will J.. Where the hell is The Safety Dance?

That is the greatest song EVERdan 8 years agowhat a b. Hello Metallica ROCK IT in the 8. Geils. Moody Blues. Stray Cats. Traveling Wilburysand good grief: ZZ TOP!

Vu 7 years ago. No Boys of Summer?!? Only 2 Michael Jackson songs?! MJ SHAPED THE FRIGGIN 8. On top of that.. Where's Madonna? Billy Joel! TJ 7 years ago.

Thriller should be on here & Billie Jean should be #1. I agree MJ did shape the 8.

MJ (R. I. P) number one on this charttikki 7 years agohail the 8. Papo 7 years ago. Thriller is good not great. Smooth criminal is better and it should have been on this list.? I don't think this list is . Although Michael Jackson should have been most of the Top 1.

Bon Jovi. They've sold lots of records based off of . I also have to give props to Jon Bon Jovi and the gang for still rockin' today well into their forties. So the fact that they made #1?

Not your problem ; -)Micky 7 years agowhat the heck how is Billie Jean no number 1. Ok list but come on..

And you didn't have enough journey on there.. You have to take into consideration that kids who did not experience the 8. Brett michaels has a tv garbage show on vh. I like this list more than the 9. I like it but where is purple rain and we are the world, come on stupid teenage girls.

And I live in new jersey and I think most of the people my age don't know that Bon jovi is from there. Courtney 7 years ago. I'm not saying this just becuase he died, but seriously Michael should have a Number 1 spot. You can't say 8. 0's withoutt thinking of Him. Billie Jean? There are songs that are more well- done, like: Livin' on a prayer, is a tremendous song, and the lyric is amazing. We cannot judge just about what we like, but everyone else too. Briana 7 years ago.

Why isn't Billie Jean #1? Michael Jackson defined the 8. There should have been more MJ!

And Livin' On A Prayer beating Billie Jean(Or any MJ song for that matter)? WTF! Rome. D 7 years agook so its obvious u guys got the order all wrong. But what the hell man, where is Tears for Fears! Everybody wants to rule the world! Amanda? Ashley 7 years ago. I'm outraged that no Jet songs are on the list.

SERIOUSLY? Rayboy 7 years agowhere the hell is careless whisper!!! It deserves to be on here.. Sade deserves to be on here too. Pier 7 years ago. I totally agree with Bon jovi's living on a prayer in the number 1 spot.

I effing love that song! Jack 7 years ago. Does anyone know the title of the song with these lyrics: I should have never let you put your lips on my girl?? Thanks for any help you can give me. Gigi 7 years ago.

OK i think that MJ's billie jean should have been #1. I am not a huge MJ fan, i am a GNR fan, but after all the things about MJ's death and after i saw This Is It. I realized that MJ deserves to be #1.

He put a lot of effort into the projects he worked on. Livin on a prayer is not a bad song it is pretty good but compared to Billie Jean i think Billie Jean should have been #1. Melissa 7 years ago. Where is Karma Chameleon???

This list sucks, so many other great songs are missing. Smooth Criminal 7 years ago. Honestly, this list is really messed up. Half of Michael Jackson's songs which moulded the 8. Billie Jean is definitley the geatest song of the 8. Not to mention, where the hell are great classics like Thriller, Human Nature, Bad, Smooth Criminal, Man in the Mirror, and even We are the World. This list totally undermines Michael Jackson's legacy.

Other than that, I agree with Guns N' Roses selections, Journey, and atleast my boy Rick James is there.: D 7 years ago. Every. 1 has to calm down about Michael Jackson, its gettin a bit over the top. Also where is Karma Chameleon and Careless Whisper???

Hi 7 years ago. Where is Metallica's One?? And Back in Black?! It is both classics!

Taylie  7 years ago. The 8. 0's had good music my favorite is Mickey and Girls just want to have fun.. Rocker 7 years agohaha some of you guys are soo dumb there shouldn't be any Metallica! Of Course great band but this is the 1. Metallica was still underground.

If your gonna say stupid things don't comment. Ok btw where is Simple Minds: Don't you forget about me! The Smiths: How Soon is Now? Quiet Riot: Cum on Feel the noize Tears for Fears: Everybody wants to rule the world The Cult: She Sells Sanctuary Megadeth: Peace Sells.

The Lizard King 7 years ago. Check out my blog above, my 8. Here's my breakdown. This list just embraces songs that are either guilty pleasures, or songs that are just flat out bad. There are some truly great songs like When Doves Cry and Every Breath You Take, but there are too few. One thing I am relieved that is that they didn't fill the list with cheesy hair metal like they did with their hard rock songs. They said that Motley Crue were better than The Clash on that list.

And in this list! They couldn't even get the facts right: London Calling was released in '7. Any way, I started my own blog to combat this, I hope you like it. It gives a lot of credit underrated artists like The Pixies or Megadeth. Check it out. robert 7 years agohey man ive been looking for a good 8.

I do agree with most of the list, but was a little surprised hungry like a wolf beat billie jean even though i'm a huge duran duran fan. I still believe livin on a prayer should be first. Harry 7 years agowat the hell tears for fears should have atleast 1 song in their. Ikon 7 years ago.
