I don’t know if y’all remember just how huge Juice Newton was in the early ‘80s. She charted on pop, country, and adult contemporary (14 top-10 hits and 6 at #1). Perhaps her best known hit is Queen of Hearts, and maybe her prettiest is her cover of Angel of the Morning or the Carpenters-esque The Sweetest Thing I've Ever Known. Also good is her sultry cover of Break It to Me Gently. However, I’m going to nominate one a little less known, but a fun peppy tune:

The early 80's was a fantastic time for experimental music.
And I know a lot of these obscure ones I'm picking won't get seconded but I want to get a few freaky unheard songs out there. Probably, my favorite type of music is experimental or weird or avant-garde or fucked up, whatever, I like weird shit is what I'm saying. I won't do many more and get back to "regular" nominees soon. :clap:

I have at least 40 tracks on my list too....

As the nominations for Threads 1 & 2, were decreased to only 56 songs each; is it possible to increase the nominations within both of the 80's threads? :idea:

[mae]

I'd rather not (and Thread #1 was always designed to be 56). I share the pain but enlarging wouldn't be fair, plus would balloon the voting process, which I've already devised to be as optimal as it could be. It just means we must be that much more selective in our nominations and especially secondings. Still, whatever ends up being left out of the main tournament can still be posted here and enjoyed by all, outside competition.

As I write this, there are only 15 slots left available for songs to be seconded in this thread and there are 75 songs still in limbo... :panic:

I won't nominate anymore tracks in this thread, as I believe the best tracks have already been nominated and waiting to be seconded. I would like to ask everyone to look closely at the current list of songs before nominating anymore songs?

I am going to kick things off by seconding this song, which was nominated ages ago....

Might as well start posting the leftovers, right?

Here's a MEGA hit from 1980:

And as long as I'm on movies, how about:

[mae]

I have tons of leftovers too, but just wanted to lament that I'm shocked "Rock of Ages" and "Rock You Like a Hurricane" did not get seconded. Oh well! If we had the time, I'm sure we could come up with 112 nominations per year, not per five years, so lots and lots of great music had to be left behind. But we can still discuss these "leftovers", such as:

I like so much of Elton John's work (with the exception of one song that makes me want to stab out my eardrums with an icepick). Even the songs that make no lyrical sense are still captivating. Here's one that didn't make the list:

It seems the world forgot about Sheena Easton, who was quite popular back in the early '80s. I guess that could either be a good thing or a bad thing, based on your perspective. Anyway, here's three I had on my list:

I always wanted a threesome with her and Nina (99 luft balloons)

Which one of his song's makes you want to stab out your eardrums with an icepick? LOL!

My friggin' hero for nominating this...I LOVE it!

We missed...


In 1984...Metallica joined up with the Jews and read their bible for what is, IMHO the second metal anthem...second only to Rainbow's (Dio) "Man on the Silver Mountain" with Creeping Death!!

Great music, obviously. Vangelis is a genius.

I love these stats, pablo. I appreciate such work.

[mae]

Great, I enjoy doing them. I was surprised to see half of the nominations coming from just the last two-year period of the five.

[Jon]

Yes...while looking through I kept saying "Man...the 80's sure had some total CRAP music... but great stuff too.

Yeah, I was just looking through the list and thinking "I really don't care much about any of the songs on the list". :lol:
It's almost like all of the songs are just mediocre at best.

[divemaster]

This thread is closed for nominations, Bill. No more seconding.

However, feel free to continue to suggest or discuss songs from this era.

[divemaster]

Hmmm, I forgot how much I love this David Bowie song:



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpdHMaccjw4 (aka Theme from Cat People; Putting Out the Fire with Gasoline)

[divemaster]

We had one Billy Idol song go through (White Wedding) and two more nominated but not seconded (Rebel Yell and Dancing with Myself).

I'd also like to mention his cover of Mony Mony. I love the original (and it was seconded in the appropriate thread), but here is a rare case where a cover of a loved classic does a fantastic job as well.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAmgTNATJkk

[divemaster]

And speaking of Billy, we neglected this popular song from another Billy--Billy Joel.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBbo0slWMW4

[mae]

Yeah. I do have a great Billy Joel song lined up from 1989.

Mr. John (Cougar) Mellencamp got some mentions (The Authority Song, Jack & Diane, Hurts So Good), but surprisingly no secondings. Here's another good one that could have been nominated:

This was a very popular song in the early '80s. Might have deserved a mention:

[mae]

"Upside Down" was on my list, just didn't get to it in time. Great song.

[mae]

Can't believe I forgot this awesome track:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJSRPsVF-Rc

[divemaster]

Kind of a sappy love ballad, but I like it. According to wiki, this was released in the UK on December 31, 1984, though the US release was in Jan of '85.

An early '80s staple:

[Tommy]

Deeply regret not getting this one nominated:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4EMmvP8rWo

[mae]

That's actually a 1979 song.

[Tommy]

That's actually a 1979 song.

But I think that performance which I would have nominated was from 1980. It was on this soundtrack
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Times_Square_%28soundtrack%29

I can always nominate the Manson version later on :dance:

[mae]

But it was actually first released as a single in 1979: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_in_the_Park

And this reminded me of another great 1979 song I am crushed I forgot to nominate, since it's one of my favorites of all time.

[Iwritecode]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCHE0Tjw6MA

I actually forgot about this song, which is why I didn't nominate it but I don't know that it would've went very far. I only knew the song from the movie The Wizard so when I was a kid I was constantly going into music stores (remember those?) looking for the soundtrack to the movie. I think I may have found it one time but I didn't buy it. Of course now with the digital age, I can listen to it anytime I want.

[mae]

This is for Jon:

We should have another tournament after this one for the good songs we left out! :evil:

I didn't realize this song was that old. I wasn't introduced to Bryan Adams music until sometime in the 90's. I think I had his greatest hits album with this song on it. I've never heard a cover of it that I've liked all that much though.

I wish I had nominated SRV before the limit was reached...

There's just too much great music out there! But feel free to nominate other stuff in the two threads still under the limit: Threads 9 and 10.

You've got a point. I was searching the 1970-74 list earlier and that is one solid ass list!!!

It will be fun (and tough) voting on these when the time comes.

Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb is at #23 of the seconded tracks listed in Thread 7. :smile:

Bill was kinda "numb and comfortable" in 1979.
