100. Loverboy / "Working for the Weekend"


I was hoping for more metal/rock songs than pop songs, but as the show got closer to #1 it seemed like more metal/rock songs were showing up. Overall I think the list is alright, its hard to judge the top 100 songs of anything, especially if you like most of the songs the same

I'm not one for 80s music like shown above, but I know that Pour Some Sugar on Me is the worst song ever created.

not bad for VH1's standards suppose. Guess they could have had more classical/jazz/metal/rap songs though.

I actually watched the marathon for 5 hours last Thursday and I was disappointed at the lack of heavy metal music, but then again not many metal fans go to VH1 for anything

Squeeze at #82 is sacrilege. "Tempted" is one of the best songs of the past 50 years, let alone in the 80s.

No Iron Maiden = Not cool.
GNR Twice on the list = Cool.

I think I've seen that list on 'The Hits' before though, although it might have been a different one.

Where the hell is The Safety Dance? That's easily the best shitty 80's song, they can't even put together a bad list properly.

re: Top 100 Songs of the 80's - According to VH1 Voters

Their rap consists of Beastie Boys, Salt N Pepa, Rob Base, Tone Loc and Young MC. That is so *bleep*in shitty, not having any Rakim, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane is totally unacceptable. Not to mention The Symphony Vol 1 by the Juice Crew is widely regarded as one of the best rap songs ever and didn't make it.

Also I MOTHER EARTH, I agree Safety Dance was the best shitty 80s song.

re: Top 100 Songs of the 80's - According to VH1 Voters

The 80's was about big hair, synthesizers and bad pop music. Does anybody really expect a list made by the mainstream on a mainstream music channel to really incorporate the truly best songs of the 80's?

ANd yeah, Safety Dance got snubbed.
