How did I forget those songs!?! They're awesome!

I didn't know the 70's or 80's had good music. Pink Floyd "echoes". Pink Floyd was the only decent music from that time period. 90's, Nirvana, The Melvins, Marilyn Manson.

I actually have some lists of songs I like from the years 1965 all the way to 2008. I just got those songs from my lists. You can guess how long it took me to compile this list.

70s- [really mostly 70s, too many to list here]

timothy- the buoys

but not for you- olivia newton-john
hopelessly devoted to you- olivia newton-john

80s-

somebody to love- version by the blues brothers from motion picture soundtrack
shake a tail feather- version by ray charles from blues brothers soundtrack
the old landmark- james brown from blues brothers soundtrack
one more minute- "weird" al yankovic

love is love- boy george o'dowd

theme from valley of the dolls- k d lang

90s-

help! i'm white and i can't get down!- the geezinslaw brothers
istanbul, not constantinople- they might be giants
the crying game- boy george o'dowd
my heart will go on- celine dion
barbie girl- aqua
carrot juice is murder- the arrogant worms

as you can plainly see, the newer the music the less i like it.

If you like that then for the 80s, you've got: Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, The Pixies, Bad Brains (especially check out I Against I or The Quickness), Sonic Youth...there's plenty more goodness.


For the 70s, you've got: Black Sabbath, New York Dolls, The Ramones, Black Flag, The Dickies.

^Black Flag from the 70s. Fits snugly with Nirvana and The Melvins.

This video says it all, for me.
