This one is great. :lol:

 
I was just watching Dazed and Confused, and this song was on. :lol: I used to really like this song.

 
Joan Jett's version of Love Hurts.

 
I prefer the Nazareth version to be honest. :)
 
Now, back to 80s dance music.

 
The big scandal behind this song was that little girls were wearing "Frankie says relax" shirts, and the song is about sex quite obviously. :lol: Apparently, their parents were unaware of what it meant.

 
This one is so hilarious and just terrible! :lamo

 
Even though I was never an MJ fan, it's really not right to leave him out of the 80s dance music. I'm really not sure if this was from the 80s or later, but whatever, it's MJ.



Of course, I will include the way better Alien Ant Farm version of the song though. :mrgreen:

 
Okay kids, enough of the 80's crap already! For me, the 80's began the dark ages of popular music again as the music industry regained control of music and started telling the fans what they want to hear and what they need to buy. They were from an older generation who lost control of the baby boomers by the late 60's, and were lost and confused as they tried to establish new trends....remember when they declare "punk" to be the new wave of the future? But, by the 80's, they were able to strain out music trends that were less profitable (progressive rock) and force musicians back to playing shorter length songs and re-emphasizing hits over album quality. And then, along came American Idol and......well, I have avoided turning on the car radio ever since!

Of the 80's music I liked...I can probably name them off on one hand...Dire Straits, The Police, Springsteen (cont. from the 70's), and U2 were among the few of the big name acts that I appreciated. And since today is Superbowl Sunday, I'd like to offer up what is now considered the Greatest Superbowl halftime show of all time - U2 in 2002at Superbowl XXXVI, just months after 9/11. The back story was that the show almost ended in disaster, and screen scrolling the names of the 9/11 victims was a late improvisation, as pre-show tests of a planned scrolling of the names across the roof of the Superdome failed, so they had to improvise with a screen suspended from the roof of the building as the screen. And the result:
 
This is to TD for dissing the Beastie Boys. :lol:
