Just living, loving and laughter. It seems that outside of the metal community the first three albums of Metallica are a little underrated. There were still good records to be made but this straddles the eras, anthemic but nasty with enough of a whiff of the underground to keep the early adopters on board. A goth love song? This brilliant, stately number was written by Elvis Costello as a much needed protest track against the Falklands war. The all time best! Poised between staying or leaving both The Clash and girlfriend Ellen Foley, Mick Jones’s lyrics were appropriately propulsive. Diana Ross and Lionel Richie - Endless Love, Say, Say, Say - Paul McCartney & Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder - Ebony and Ivory, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts - I Love Rock 'N Roll, All Night Long (All Night) - Lionel Ritchie, Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart, Captain & Tennille - Do That to Me One More Time, Coming Up (Live at Glasgow) - Paul McCartney, Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2 - Pink Floyd, Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now) - Phil Collins. This is the greatest keyboard riff of all time (that alone makes it an '80s legend), and one of the best songs ever! Come on people, this needs to be higher! Not taking metal into consideration, one of the best songs to have come from Norway. Ditching their chugging guitar sound of yore for funkier pastures was a brave move, but the lyrics were still unmistakably Collins: a finely-observed tale of tongue-tied ineptitude and lovelorn regret that made for a perfect slice of sophisticated pop. Yeah, that important. From house to hip-hop, college rock to techno, bubblegum pop to post-punk, heavy metal to hardcore—here are our favorite tracks of the 1980s. Mtume has also said the label didn’t want to release the song because it was too slow; instead, they serviced it to nighttime radio, and it became a daytime hit. That the music is so anthemic, propelled by a party groove that throws together P-Funk, Kraftwerk and Afrika Bambaataa, makes the song's conflicts all the more compelling. This clearly deserves top 3, one of the best songs of the 80's. It’s a rootsy interpolation of American R&B, guised as a vulnerable lover’s rock anthem ostensibly about a doting romantic partner. Now that ’80s nostalgia is into its third decade (and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon), it’s high time we cooked up the definitive list of the best ’80s songs ever. In which The Dame reaffirmed his chameleonic superpowers and turned into a New Romantic just in time to make it look as if he was inventing New Romanticism (which of course he did, years earlier), even co-opting scenester Steve Strange to appear in the video. Nobody writes grandiose heartbreak like Jim Steinman, and he’s never done it better than in this smash 1983 epic ballad for the raspy-voiced Welsh belter Bonnie Tyler. I forget my problems when I listen to this song, I think about the future, I remember I'm lucky to live. Is there anyone who doesn’t like this song? And until Cher came along with ‘Believe’, it made co-vocalist Grace Slick the oldest female singer to ever have a Number One hit. Bravo Bryan! The formula has legs, as the recent success of Daft Punk’s "Get Lucky", which Rodgers co-wrote with Pharrell, suggests. The track that sent ‘Thriller’ interstellar casts Jacko as an unlikely daddy in the dock – far-fetched, but apparently based on a real accusation from a crazed fan. There’s a tense moment in the 2014 William Onyeabor documentary, Fantastic Man, when the Nigerian musician’s former distributor Obinna Obi reluctantly discloses "an incident that made people get scared of him." Ice Cube, Public Enemy, and Biggie (famously on "Going Back to Cali") are among the many artist who followed Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith's lead in lifting from the 1980 funk track. The answers, of course, are “maybe” and “absolutely not.” Simple Minds initially rejected the offer to record the song written by Keith Forsey and Steve Schiff, who scored John Hughes’s high-school classic. 32nd? They had some amazing songs, but out of all of those, THIS gets picked? It’s Spinderella’s record, scratching and diving between the proto-rave synths, while Salt-n-Pepa limit themselves to the occasional quickfire verse. “The song with no chorus” – that was how the Pet Shop Boys referred to this one on the quiet, but it had a bevy of other assets to offset that. It’s a classic in the genre of dancefloor hits that venerate the pre-dancefloor anticipation, thus opening a feedback loop between the desire and its gratification. Quite a lot, but you get the idea. Music that maintains a steady trance-like pulse, but still swings. I was knocked out during the birth of my children. "Cut your throat, stab you in the back/ The untamed animal just don't know how to act." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnxDRJzaXmc. Let me think... Michael Jackson was a Child mull-les-ter (sorry I can't spell the word) and Jon Bon Jovi and the rest of them were people trying to make music for people too enjoy (and as far as I know, still are) with no strings attached (like raping a kid, and buying your way out of it).
