There was a lot of great stuff that year from Geils/Seger/Tom Petty/Rush/ZZ Top ect.
I with that said was still listening to mostly 70’s music,my favorite era of rock,and,like Admin.,was in high school at time,good times(for the most part!).
ZZ Top…..Gimme All your Lovin’ & Sharp Dressed Man
Since i’ve added up roughly 180 songs i’ve sung since 1978….too many to pick just one.
” Gimme A Bullet ” – AC/DC
” Ten Years Gone ” – Led Zep
” Tie Your Mother Down ” – Queen
WMMR 93.3
WIBG
WDRE
Don’t forget Ozzy
While Crazy Train is great on the Blizzard of OZZ album, I like this one the best. A tribute to Barbara Bush’s dad:
The better video version:
My favorites have already been listed, but a couple of great honorable mentions from 1980:
Absolute worst – “Misunderstanding” by Genesis (my asshole college roommate would play it incessantly)
Did not check the year for relevance, but this is a favorite!
Good enough for Gregg Allaman good enough for me
Absolutely one of her best, and she had a lot of BESTS!!
Energy and moves are marvelous.
But one absolutely HORRIBLE mother.
93.3 wmmr and 94.1 wysp back in the day.
Love this song.
Oh yeah, fun song.
Greatest song ever
Bocephus
Trace Adkins gets a medal for actually using 80s style synth back ground music in a country song. Now that’s talent!
Close enough for Tuesday on TBP
Yall Think
Every boy knew that number & 42 years later still remembers it. I read that the phone company had to retire that number for all area codes
Listened to 94.1 WYSP
Anything off the AC/DC Back in Black album is a classic.
Saw them at the Spectrum, in Philly July 31, 1980
I miss the shear entertainment of Mr. Limbaugh
The beginning of the End???
Huh,thought was 1980,we going to go thru the 80’s have a lot of songs,just saying!
