This might be an exception, though ...
Probably the most underrated tune of the 1980s -- with a fantastic set of guitar lines for any era:
“Probably the most underrated tune of the 1980s”
That album had 7 singles that charted :-). Only “Pour Some Sugar on Me” makes me want to icepick out my eardrums. “Hysteria” is certainly the best song off that album.
People like all kinds of music for a wide variety of reasons. My favorite music by far is 70’s music, but I had a good time in the Eighties. Sure, a lot of songs are burnt out, but...what the hell? I find it a lot more fun to talk about music I like rather than music I hate. This is one of my Eighties playlists, and I know some of these songs may not be liked, but hey...I have good memories of times with some of them:
