    I'm pretty sure that the music video for "another brick in the wall pt.2" mentally scarred me as a kid....

      +ZhinZhaw Gourneau Funny thing, once "The Wall" was on french TV (around 1992), and just before the movie they were a voice telling the rating. As I am a big fan and I recorded the broadcast, I've still in my head what it said:
      "M6 vous informe que ce programme peut etre regarde par toute la famille"
      Which means:
      " informs you that this program can be watch by the whole family"
      Hahahahah.. Oh Yeah... :)
      Then I asked a neighbor to copy the tape, and then he told my mum "Garry is watching nazi videos !" Hahahahahaha.

      +ZhinZhaw Gourneau A bit weird because it was released in '79. But I almost totally share your emotions - I would be GLUED to the TV screen any time it came on in the early 90s when I was a kid, having no clue.

      Errr. I’m a sucker for 80s music. But the 60s and 70s gave us the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, skynard, the stones etc. I love the sound of the 80s bc it reminds me of my youth and there’s this incredible feeling I get when listening to the great songs of that decade. But the 70s to me is where some of the greatest of all time we’re at their pinnacle.

      The 80's were the same as every other decade for every good song their was at least 40 bad ones, it just seems that the bad ones get all the air time these days. There are still some really talented new rock/metal bands out there you just need to look for them, and one of the good things about them not being so famous is smaller gigs have a better vibe than the large arenas.

Whenever were were not playing live, we would spin records. We owned our own nightclub and set up a light show that rivled what you would see in New York. These songs bring back special memories of first my Dad and I, but later my younger sisters to my 2 sons!

They were my most favorite band of the 80’s and I saw them in concert 4 or 5 times. Thank you for taking me back to the best years of my life.

      I agree that's why I still listen to the 80s music til this very day. All because I think the music during my birth decade is a whole lot better than today's music just my own opinion. Which is why I don't listen to too much of the music today all that much so I just like the music I grew up on in the 80s and 90s more than any other type of music. There may be some songs today I might like but the music I grew up on was a whole lot better. Also my parents even grew me up on the 50s, 60s, and 70s music as well so I do like those musical decades as well. But the 80s was my birth decade which was music that was just started to get on smaller discs that we now call CDs for the first time. Since I think CDs didn't start coming out until sometime around the year I was born for the first time in 1984 I think. And I'd would even still listen to this kind of music on my old Walkman player if I still have it somewhere around my house I'm not sure what happened to it.

      For myself I pretty much grew up in the 80s and 90s so I was about 5 years old by the end of the 80s myself since I turned 6 years old in the first year of the 90s as for myself. I was born in 1984 and I turned 5 years old in 1989 so I grew up listening to this music on the radio all the time in our car sitting in my car seat while I was living in Japan from my birth to the age of 2.5 years old and then from age 3 to 4.5 in Virginia and from 4.5 to the age of 5 in 1989 into 1990 in North Carolina. In which my parents still continued to listen to not only the 80s but also the 70s, 60s, and 50s as I was growing up in the 90s that I still listens to onto this very day. Along with the 90s as well. I might like some songs that I hear today but there are not too many though that I like today so in my own opinion I like the music I grew up on better than some music of today so the 90s, 80s, 70s, 60s, and the 50s type of music is what I like better for me to listen to today.

Not Your favorite from any rock songs, the ones that made it to number 1 on that chart. "Why is my favorite song not on there?" Most likely because it didn't make it to number one. You can easily verify that by checking the wikipedia page of said song. "What, no love for band X?" again, did they have a song in that decade that made it to number one? Really not that hard to understand.

      ...another #1 I never heard played, anywhere. There was a fine Fleetwood Mac song called Child of Mine, on the Bare Trees album, one of two great FM albums before Stevie Nicks showed up. Don't get me wrong - Nicks and Buckingham restored the band after Bob Welch left, but they had two great albums, Future Games and Bare Trees, with Welch. But those were 70s albums, when there still was first-rate, original music pushing through from the sixties explosion of great talent. Then radio songs started to suck - glam arena rock. disco, rap, hip hop - all produced for and by record execs, instead of creative musicians. All you have to do is read the comments here about "Axl" to see the brainwashing took effect.

      @ryanphar23 7 років тому +10

      Pour Some Sugar On Me didn't make the list since it never topped the Billboard Hot 100 Chart it peaked at #2 even though I absolutely love the song it didn't meet the qualifications for this video
