Default Re: Your Favorite 80s Songs?

Here's my top 5 in no particular order:

One Night In Bangkok - Murrayhead
Second Chance - 38 Special
Tokyo Rose - Men At Work
Begin The Begin - REM (actually almost anything by them un the 80s and early 90s, frankly)
Billy Jean - MJ

Yes. The reason I picked "End of the World" is because it was a single. But when you talk about songs like:

Gardening At Night
Driver 8
Harborcoat
I Believe
These Days
Superman
Wendell Gee
Wolves, Lower
Live and How to Live It
Camera
King of Birds
Exhuming McCarthy
World Leader Pretend
Orange Crush

I mean Jesus...

Best. Band. Ever.

I could not agree more, and it's not even close. Let's see U2 or the newest dipshit top 40 band can write a song like "Maps and Legends". Never happen.

I saw a live version of King of Birds once that brought me to tears. Un-effing-real.

In 1995 I saw them in Miami with Radiohead opening, and they did a version of Country Feedback with Buck going about 11 minutes on a solo at the end as Stipe wailed "Crazy what you could have had, I need this... I need this" and everyone's hairs stood on end. Greatest performance ever.

I highly recommend purchasing the DVD concert film Perfect Square. ( Here's a link ). It proves they've still got it. Great set list, terrific coverage. Amazing crowd. Perfect editing. God-like sound. Aside from "A Clockwork Orange," it's the best DVD I own.

I'm going to do that, thanks.

Their concert last year in TO was the best I've ever been to, and it wasn't even close.
