Great Music - Nomination & Discussion Thread #9 (1985-1989)

**mae** · 01-08-2016 06:00 AM

It's time! This thread will serve to nominate and discuss the tracks for the tournament that were released between January 1, 1985 and December 31, 1989. Keep in mind that your nomination must have been initially released within this time-frame. Singles can often be released earlier or later than the album, so double check things like Wikipedia. When nominating and seconding, please follow these guidelines:

You can nominate one track per post, and you can nominate another track after two other members have made their nominations (per thread).
You can second one track per post, and you can second another track after two other tracks have been seconded (per thread).
Each nomination should be supported by a video, illustrating the song being nominated.
The video must be the version of the track being nominated (so no live versions, covers, re-recordings, or remixes).

To reiterate from the announcement post, to make a nomination, please use the following format: ARTIST - TITLE (YEAR). A nomination should also be supported by a video, illustrating the song being nominated (though not necessarily the song's official video, especially if it contains a lengthy pre-song scene). Most tracks can be found on YouTube, and that's preferred, but other video hosting services can be used, which can be embedded with your nomination. If you can't find your pick, send me a PM and I will try to locate it for you. However, please do not simply post a link or embed the video so it appears on the page. Since there will be lots of nominations per page and lots of videos, this will be too much to handle for most computers, slowing down the page tremendously. So to make your nomination, please hide the embedded video using the SPOIL tags (using this spoiler option:

) Don't forget to remove the s in https when embedding YouTube links. Also, the youtu.be sharing shortcut will not work. We need the full address (just without the s in https).

All you need to do is first click the "Insert Video" icon:

. Paste your YouTube link, remove the s in https and click OK. The link should stay selected, so click the black SPOIL button, enter your ARTIST - TITLE (YEAR) into the field which appears, click OK, and you're done.

To illustrate, a sample nomination should look like this (and this track is not eligible, since it's from 2015):

Teminite - Are You Ready (2015)

Or, simply use the below template (fill in the red placeholders):

[SPOIL="ARTIST - TITLE (YEAR)"]
[video]YOUTUBELINK[/video][/SPOIL]

U2 - With Or Without You (1987)

This song would count as my nomination, so you would still be able to nominate a song straight afterwards and I would have to wait for two other songs to be nominated before nominating another....

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, my friend!
