Today's music sucks! And that means something coming from a 21 year old who wasn't even born until the mid 80s

As promised, here is the #1 song of the 80s:

Asia - Heat Of The Moment

oh man i have the best story behind that song (hopefully i can find the video to).
This guy was over one night when we were having a party and started hitting on my roommate (female) in a big way and wouldn't leave her alone. He was being pretty ruthless about it so my other roommate (guy) pretended like he was her boyfriend to get the guy to back off. So it all worked and the next day they were joking around about it and she was like oh yeah i need to break up with you. So they did a little mock break up. Later that night he snuck out and stood outside her window. He held a boombox above his head and it was blaring asia - heat of the moment. All the neighbors came outside and she woke up and opened her window.

Maybe it was one of those had to be there moments but it was definitely hilarious.
 
Asia??? What a bunch of pussies.

Try some real music.

If it's hair metal you want, this is it:

Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again"

Ha, did you know that "Here I Go Again" became a hit 5 years after it was first recorded? They released it on 2 different albums.

Anyway, I saw them twice on tour back in the day. Not bad but certainly not the best band from the 80's. One of the best shows was Sammy Hagar before he joined Van Halen.
 
Something we can all relate to:

I love the 80's electro stuff.

Video to Pat Benetar's "Hit Me With Your Best Shot"

The video is something I put together for the site that is mentioned.
 
What's with all the hair-bands and prog-rockers? Nobody swang their hips like Morrissey:
