oh yeah, mustn't forget 'Paul Revere' by the Beastie Boys... memorized the lyrics in sixth grade, still remember 'em today.
The mind is like a parachute... works best when it's open. p.s. I could give similar lists for 70s and 90s... good music is good music. Though admittedly, the 80s seemed far more prone to "one hit wonders" than any other decade.
LOL, Touche. Maybe I should restate myself. I should have included IMO. And afaic, the 80's themselves sucked. peace.
I'd take the 80s over this time in history in a heartbeat. BTW, Darkhorse, good music selection there. I had almost forgotten about Life in a Northern Town.
