IPOD Decades Songs Draft - Rankings underway

[NoBonus]

Nice pick with Sublime, love that song and I completely overlooked it.

I've gotta get this one on my list, I was a HUGE House of Pain fan back in the day.

House of Pain, Jump Around 1992


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_Around

Great pick! I mean, c'mon, who can't complete this line:

"Pack it up, pack it in..."

 

[Kingzrool]

Every Little Thing She Does is Magic - The Police - 1981

Great pick! I mean, c'mon, who can't complete this line:

"Pack it up, pack it in..."

Well...me, for one.

 

[NoBonus]

Well...me, for one.

Really? In the 90's, I probably heard this one House of Pain song more than the grand sum of times I have heard any of the Nirvana songs.

Really? In the 90's, I probably heard this one House of Pain song more than the grand sum of times I have heard any of the Nirvana songs.

I think my exposure to that song is limited to its use as "incidental" music at basketball games. In fact, I had to listen to the YouTube (beyond the intro, which is completely unknown to me) to verify that it was the song I thought it was.

You may use this information to attempt to identify other songs I am not likely to pick off your list!

 

[VF21]

Great pick! I mean, c'mon, who can't complete this line:

"Pack it up, pack it in..."

I won't state the obvious.

Francisco d'Anconia is on the clock. VF21 is on deck...

 

[John Galt]

Rag Doll - Aerosmith - 80's

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rag_Doll_(Aerosmith_song)

[yt=tap dancing on a land mine...]CgRJ81hTFG0[/yt]

(10 second lead in before video starts, but it is there in hq sound and video)

 

[VF21]

For my next pick, I'm selecting a song that really got my attention the first time I heard it.

She Drives Me Crazy - Fine Young Cannibals - 80s

[yt=She Drives Me Crazy]Q7jG8EWr63k[/yt]

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Sometimes I feel I've got to run away, I've got to get away
From the pain you drive into the heart of me

Time for me to pick (at least one) "quintessential" '80s song, and this one is probably the first that pops into my head when I think of '80s music (even if it is a cover) -- Soft Cell's Tainted Love (released 1981).

The video is kind of creepy. Enjoy!

Slim Citrus times out at 1:17PM according to my calculations.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Slim Citrus times out at 1:17PM according to my calculations.

Give him an extra minute. I didn't get the PM sent out until 7:18.

 

[NoBonus]

Okay, With Slim timing out, I select one of my favorite hair-rock songs. In all seriousness, when I think of the late 80's and riding my bike to Circle K in the hot sun to play Rastan, Shinobi or Street Fighter II, this song comes to mind immediately.

Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppard from 1987

http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:diftxqr5ldke


[yt=UK Video]iVxiHC9AJQw[/yt]

[yt=Live]b7QyuEHUKog[/yt]

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Yeah, yeah, I got the PM and everything... It was sent after 10PM, my time, last night, and I didn't see it until after eleven. I came on to check the board one last time before I went to bed and saw that, and I said to myself, "Yeah, that's not happening."

So, there you go. I'll post my pick some time in the next thirty minutes or so. Probably.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

And here it is:


[yt=So Damned Tough!]c5uG7BQZnwA[/yt]

Charlie Mack (1st out of the Limo) - DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince: He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper (1988)

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppard from 1987

Well, scratch that one off my list...

 

[D-Mass]

WHIP IT - Devo (1980)

[yt=Whip It - Devo]Xbt30UnzRWw[/yt]

Lots of great stuff by Devo, but I always come back to this one. My best man and I had a cool little dance for this at my wedding, too. Fun times!

 

[LoungeLizard]

And here it is:


[yt=So Damned Tough!]c5uG7BQZnwA[/yt]

Charlie Mack (1st out of the Limo) - DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince: He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper (1988)

AWESOME!! I think I was 10 or 11 when I used to play this tape (yeah thats right tape) over and over again. My parents just didn't understand . Nice pick. I hadn't heard this song in years.

elton john - tiny dancer (70s)

[yt=Tiny Dancer]_O80b002XT0[/yt]

 

[Emma]

I can't think of a rock song I like better from the 90's:

Wonderwall - Oasis (1995)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonderwall_(song)
[yt= Wonderwall]6hzrDeceEKc[/yt]

I'm probably never going back to my box now

[yt=Tiny Dancer]_O80b002XT0[/yt]

Was hoping it would slide till I hit the 70's. One of the great ones and the terrific scene from Almost Famous did not hurt:

[yt=great scene]7Qn3tel9FWU[/yt]

 

[Emma]

That was awesome from almost famous. reminds me of me and my friends.

 

[Kingsgirl4]

Ok, I got to grab my hair band song before it is gone. I am very glad this song is still here. This HAS to be part of my IPOD. I always wanted to marry Sebastian Bach when I was young! LOL

Skid Row- I Remember You (the 80's)
http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=33:3cfexx8jldse

Skid Row- I Remember You (the 80's)

A true vocal stud monster from the era/genre!

 

[Jespher]

These 90s songs all bring back so many memories. This was the favorite song of my best friend in high school, who died in a car crash .

With my 12th pick I select:

Bittersweet Symphony (1997) The Verve

Award Tour - A Tribe Called Quest (1993)

[yt=Award Tour]Qapou-3-fM8[/yt]

NOOOO!!! I cannot believe you took that... that was my next pick! ARG!

 

[VF21]

Since Sackings7 has already indicated that he wishes to be skipped until his computer problems are resolved, Kingzrool is on the clock... I'm sending him a PM now.
