'80s Song Tournament

Four nominations you say? Going for some cheese. And The Smiths. And The Specials.

I give -- which one of these is a woman?

By "SAFE" I'm guessing you mean anything with a lasting impact that wouldn't qualify as the "N'Sync" or "Justin Bieber" of its day...

(Btw, I much prefer your original nominations -- at least you had two great vocalists in there)

Madness - Our House -



Madonna - Like a Virgin -



David Bowie - Let's Dance -



Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams -



Some that I were going to nominate already have been like 'Take On Me', 'Cars' and some others. Good stuff.

Got some more songs that I'll nominate if I have the chance.

My nominations:

Berlin - Take My Breath Away



Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight



Fleetwood Mac - Little Lies



The Traveling Wilburys - Handle With Care

Why on earth would you want to do that?!

So are we allowed only four nominations, or we can nominate groups of four ad infinitum...?

Four at a time, but you have to wait for at least 3 to nominate between your posts, so you can nominate 4 again.

Second Set:


BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN: Brilliant Disguise


ROD STEWART: Baby Jane


PAUL McCARTNEY: No More Lonely Nights


ELVIS COSTELLO: Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

Cydni Lauper - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun



Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Relax (Don't Do It)



Olivia Newton-John - Physical



New Edition - Cool It Now



My songs so far:

Madness - Our House
Madonna - Like a Virgin
David Bowie - Let's Dance
Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams
Cydni Lauper - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Relax (Don't Do It)
Olivia Newton-John - Physical
New Edition - Cool It Now

Not heard this version before, it's good.

Love the noms for the ladies...and Madonna, too!

Roxette - It Must Have Been Love


INXS - Need You Tonight


Tom Petty - Free Fallin'



Lindsey Buckingham - Holiday Road

I'm going to nominate another Roxette song Miss Vicky, Listen To Your Heart. Just waiting for my turn then I'll post my last four nominations I think.

This will replace your "Like a Virgin" nom, which was already nominated by Jiraffe Justin.

We're at 56 songs. Should we stop at 64 or go on to 128?

Okay, I had two other songs here that I want to nominate, then that is it, so I'll post them with the Roxette song if you don't mind me doing this

Billy Joel - Uptown Girl



Roxette - Listen To Your Heart



Olivia Newton John & ELO - Xanadu



That would make it 10 songs:

Madness - Our House
David Bowie - Let's Dance
Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams
Cydni Lauper - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Relax (Don't Do It)
Olivia Newton-John - Physical
New Edition - Cool It Now
Billy Joel - Uptown Girl
Roxette - Listen To Your Heart
Olivia Newton John & ELO - Xanadu

OK, this list is HARDLY '80s at all. I'm moving on to 128 songs. And I'm gonna post 10 more songs of my own to get this list alive. You all can post 10 more songs, too -- ESPECIALLY if you're not LP Quagmire. In fact, I recommend we finish our noms before he even gets back! He is ruining the list! Like, TOTALLY!

Miss Vicky, honey, no more INXS or Roxette or Tom Petty, please.

Sexy, if you don't like Tom Petty or INXS, then vote against them in the tournament. I'm going to nominate the artists and songs that represent what I like about the decade's music.

I knew those were coming.

I realized I like a Lindsey Buckingham song - "Holiday Road" - didn't realize that was him.
