“There weren’t 100 great songs done in the 80’S.”
Nope. There weren’t.
Sharp Dressed Man: ZZ Top: 1983.
Sadly i had no idea Eddie Van Halen played on Beat It. I saw this interview just a few days ago- OMG!!! Start at the 2 minute mark

Who was the other guitarist on Beat It?
Best Instrumental of the 1980s
September Fifteenth - Pat Metheny/Lyle Mays
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OB7bkhslIXw
Written for Meatloaf
no effing clue
His best stuff was 70s
Steve Lukather. But then again, he pretty much played on everything in the 80s, LOL.
Hard to top this.
Prelude/Angry Young Man

Liberty was the boss!
My daughter, who has long been interested in the music I like, told a friend of hers about “Mongoloid”. He listened to it, liked it, and it is now his cell phone ring tone. He has Downs Syndrome, but is highly functioning. He gets the irony, and he wears a hat and has a job and “brings home the bacon”.
Meaning the author is likely a fag, and the choices made seem to validate that.
Need another list “The Top 100 Songs of the 80’s That Aren’t On the List of the 100 Top Songs of the 80’s”.
Not a bad list as far as popular music goes. Pretty much captures the vibe of that decade. Bit disappointing “Legs” by ZZ Top isn’t on it
late 70’s maybe - The Stranger & 52nd St were great...but for me, boom time was in the 80’s.
Probably already been mentioned, but Life In Wartime / Talking Heads, and Jenny Jenny / Tommy TuTone.
(Not that one would know anything about that kinda stuff.)
Thanks for the link. I only remember Devo’s SNL appearance.
I remember being a little confused as to what I was witnessing. I bought the album the next week and have been a fan ever since. “Come in, Booji Boy! Do you have the plans that the chinaman gave you?”
Also Anarchy in the UK / Sex Pistols.
Yep...no Dire Straits...no ZZ Top....One Prince song?
