My lord this a daunting task! Great picks thuis farm. Xchazx, not familiar with Carnivore, is it hardcore or metal? Actually the name rings a bell, is that Pete Steele's first band? Didn't he write the lyrics for an Agnostic Front album?
OK...here goes.
Crowded House-Don't dream it's over Smiths-There is a light that never goes out Joy Division-Love will tear us apart Cocteau Twins-Lorelei Siouxsie and the Banshees-Fireworks Nick Kershaw-Wouldn't it be good U2-New Year's day Echo and the Bunnymen-Killing Moon Psychedelic Furs-Love my way Cure-A Forest

Carnivore is indeed pete steele's first band. they are thrash gods. this list was hard as hell to make but i thought my list needed some metal. if thrash is your thing, please run out and get the album Retaliation. it is a thrash metal masterpiece.
and i believe pete steele wrote a lot of, if not all of, the songs off of Agnostic Front's album Cause For Alarm, which is a very metal influenced album. check that out too if you haven't already.

This thread is just pure INSANITY! At least it's only 80's songs. That helps narrow it down a little anyway.
Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover Danger Danger - Under the Gun Dokken - Mr. Scary Firehouse - Reach for the Sky Iron Maiden - Wasted Years Real Life - Send Me an Angel Foreigner - Say You Will Cheap Trick - The Flame Pat Benatar - Shadows of the Night Asia - Only Time Will Tell
Thanks....you owe me 45 minutes of my life back. And I'm still not 100% sure. Posted by kevdugp73 (Member # 5978) on :
HA HA...SORRY 80'sRocked...this may be one that people think about for days before responding...or not respond at all. I'm hoping to write down everybody's favorites and check out the ones I've never heard of. I'm embarrassed by how mainstream my list is...but these are the songs that I loved as a kid. My current interests are more reflective of British invasion stuff.....U2, The Smiths, The Cure, Joy Division, etc.

Just joking around Kev. If I could do this then everyone else can. Will take time though. Most will be surprised I don't have more metal on there. I need a good mix of everything if I'm going to "The Island". Posted by Sam 'The Made Man' Hain (Member # 3150) on :
The Plimsouls--Million Miles Away Joy Division--Love Will Tear Us Apart U2--Where the Streets Have No Name Slayer--Raining Blood AC/DC--Hells Bells Modern English--Melt With You Metallica--Sanitarium Iron Maiden--2 Minutes to Midnight Motley Crue--Livewire Prince--I Wanna Be Your Lover

Devolution here,
Man, not even close to easy.
I'm going to say that picking these would be near impossible for me. My top 25 most played songs are all 80's songs on my Ipod. So I will say that I would probably pick an odd variety, so I will say the next thread should probably be the CD that you would make for the island which holds about 18 songs. But I'll play fair now. After all who makes a mix CD or a mix tape that isn't completed.
1) Better luck next time - Oingo Boingo 2) Gut Feeling/Slap Your Mammy - Devo 3) Don't Lose my Number - Phil Collins 4) Coming Home - Cinderella 5) Affair of the Heart - Rick Springfield 6) Cities - Talking Heads 7) Out of Touch - Hall and Oates 8) Eaten by the Monster of Love - Sparks 9) Whistle Down the Wind - Nick Heyward 10) Night of the Living Baseheads - Public Enemy
yeah, for 10, that will do.
We are DEVO

1.)Stone in Love-Journey 2.)If Anyone Falls-Stevie Nicks 3.)Time For Me to Fly-Reo Speedwagon 4.)Your my Love-Aldo Nova 5.)Did it in a Minute-Hall and Oates 6.)Take Me Home Tonight-Eddie Money 7.)Someday-Glass Tiger 8.)Oh No-The Commodores 9.)Guilty-Barry Gibb and Barbara Streisand 10.)

My top 10 always changes ...depending on my mood...so this was really hard...but these were the songs that popped in to my head tonight.
