Mrs. Peel Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 But, hey, it's European. Just be grateful it's not about scat fetishes and exceedingly thin cigarettes. EDIT: GOB!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Say what you will about Steve Perry (For example: He looks like Paris Hilton with Down Syndrome) but the man could sing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Under the surface, the majority of the songs on this list are entirely about cock and the various ways it is great to have one; the fun of swinging it about, waggling it in the face of opposition; or simply writing songs about it while playing phallic guitars.

Drazil Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 If I had only had an Ipod in the 80's, that would have been my song list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poppydawn Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Incidentally, if you have had your face rocked at any point by Bon Jovi, please seek prompt medical attention. It is highly probable you have contracted something doctors are referring to as "super-chlamydia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
squarewave Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I would have added "Reviolution Calling" from Queensryche... Perhaps my list is not as sarcastic as this list... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the_fliz1 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 If I had to listen to any one of those ten songs I swear I'd kill myself. Oh, come on "The Final Countdown" is a good song. I'm not being facetious I really like that song. Honest story, the first 2 cassette tapes I ever bought, were Europe "The Final Countdown" and Aerosmith's "Greatest Hits". I was a freshman in high school at a new school. There was girl named Carrie that went to the school and Europe had a song named, oddly enough, "Carrie"on that album, which is why I bought it. My plan was to play the song and to sing it to her. Unfortunately, she started dating some guy 4 years older, and much, much bigger than me and he ended up beating me up when he found out I had a crush on her. Ah, those were the days.

cryptique Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 The only thing that would more fully encompass the '80s music experience would be an awkward rap breakdown where Steve Perry discusses his Adidas in depth while repeating the word "rap" and reeling off strings of gibberish. Something like, "rap rap rappity pap a dap, dang, my Adidas." Oh, come on "The Final Countdown" is a good song.No, it's not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
