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 (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?19369), 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: http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/images/icons/spoiler.gif) 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: http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/images/editor/video.png. 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):

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

As per request:

Coming soon!

I'm about to go out for a couple of hours, so I might miss the start... If the thread starts in my absence, could you please nominate this on my behalf right from the get go?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmSdTa9kaiQ

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! :smile:

Speaking of heavy metal, there were some great bands in the '80s, but this one was not that well-known. Still, this is a great track, probably one of their very best:

Early Aerosmith is really hit or miss for me. There are a handful of their songs that I like but probably just as many that I’m just sorta “meh” on. I didn't even own any of their albums until Get a Grip in 1993. Here's one I like though.

Looking through the list, I can see some truly horrific songs being seconded. Can someone please explain to me how the fuck Bananarama and The Bangles can get seconded over U2 and Queen??? :orely:

Because they're great iconic songs? I love Queen (one of my all-time favorite bands) and U2 is sometimes great, so don't get me wrong.

Variety is what makes this contest interesting. All sorts of people nominating all sorts of songs. Personally, I'm all over the map with regard to music genres and styles I've nominated. I've seconded (and even nominated) songs I was not familiar with. And there is no objective criterion for "horrendous." What turns you off, others might have at the top of their list. Nothing wrong with that. As much as I like certain artists, I don't think it would be a worthy goal to try to get their entire back catalog pushed through. Just accept that every artist nominated that has 3 or 4 hits go through, by definition will leave many worthy efforts behind. Make your peace with that.

This is one of my favorite movies and I've always loved this song. The parts with the kids singing is haunting. I don't think it was ever all that popular as a single though.

I know that country is the kiss of death here, but please at least give this one a listen.

In the late '80s, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, and Dolly Parton joined to produce Trio, one of my all-time favorite albums. So many great songs. Their cover of The Teddy Bears' To Know Him Is to Love Him is utterly fantastic, as are songs such as The Pain of Loving You, and Those Memories of You. But I think I'll go with this haunting, heart-achingly beautiful song:

Believe it or not, one of the most important songs in American History. It was a millions sold record with virtually no airplay. Album was banned in the state of Florida because of obscenity. Can you imagine what a song would have to sound like now to get banned?

Time to get back to some hard-hitting metal. The late '80s were the peak for this kind of music, I think, and this track, like the previously nominated Metal Church track (hope people didn't just skip it, it's epic), is really outstanding, but from a band not that very well known:
