    As a matter of fact, I could sense questions from some of the membership as to why I keep coming back to these song threads.

    It's the qualifier "greatest" or "best" for music in a givien decade that keeps gettin' to me, especially since everyone here seems to be avoiding the "big name music superstars" that usually dominate threads like these.

    For example, a guy named Elton has yet to make an appearence in the 70's thread, and I'm not seeing "Like a Virgin" or "Papa Don't Preach" popping up here on the 80's thread. And my thanks to all of you here on RJ for that!

    I, for one, am astounded by the range of music on this site. From near opera to Metallica's Black Album, retrojunkers have this music thang very well covered.
    (ok Slayer fans, don't make me come after ya)

    The Eldorado is dead. Long live the Eldorado.

    Ah, thank you for the link to Sepultura. Nice audio quality.



    Some of you may have background information on this next song.


    I'm not sure as to the reasons behind it, but this has to be one of the great songs of the 80's. It sure got my attention when I first heard it!

    You can't have the best songs of the 80's without the 1980-1985 version of the Dr. Who theme song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4On0uLqH_I

    and One of my favourite songs from Rush's 1985 b album power windows, Middletown dreams

    Amazing - I hadn't thought about these guys in years . . . jrs1991, you got me again!






    Now here's another 80's standard that no music thread would be complete without,

    the awesome hit song from Pebbles & Bamm-Bamm, errr . . . Ashford & Simpson! :P

    Ohhh I can't help it, everytime I hear this song all I can think about is "The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show" on CBS.

    So join me in listening to the special club mix version of Ashford & Simpson, errr . .


    Pebbles & Bamm-Bamm singing "SOLID" from 1984:

    "GO BEDROCK BUNCH!"
