Don't like the start, I like it more as it goes on
Dislike the intro to the chorus, but I like the first chord change
Guitar solo is unremarkable
Not generally a fan of romantic lyrics
The Human League - Don't You Want Me
Every part but the chorus feels like oatmeal
Kinda flat and bland
Don't like the weird small-room reverb effect on the vocals
What a boring song
Agent Orange - Bloodstains
I like punk music
I don't associate punk music with "the 80s"
Which isn't to say that I didn't know that the 80s had punk music but more that, it seems like a continuation of a trend rather than something "Of The 80s", you know?
Dolly Parton - I Will Always Love You
I've never actually listened to Dolly Parton.
I never knew this was originally a Dolly Parton song; I only ever heard the Whitney Houston version
I think the same thing of both versions; Too sappy, not really up my alley.
If I had to pick one though I still prefer Whitney Houston's version.
Pointer Sisters - Automatic
These drums are emblematic of what I hate about so much 80s music
Unlike most other songs so far; I actually really enjoy the vocals
Fun song, but I wish it had different instrumentation
Metallica - For Whom the Bell Tolls (Live)
Metallica; another band I've never really actually listened to even though I know I must have heard them in a million movies and shows and commercials and whatever
Sounds fine. Doesn't really stir any great emotion in me.
Oh wow he's singing now it took almost 3 minutes to get to lyrics.
I like it more with singing.
Echo and the Bunnymen - The Killing Moon
This is as far as I got last time I listened to this playlist, then I was distracted trying to find the band the guy's voice reminded me of
It was both The Veils (also the Editors)
I can relate to the moon imagery
I like this song a lot
Bonnie Tyler - Holding out for a Hero
I've heard this a million times in so many things but I've never actually listened to it on its own
What a banger. Good jam
So far a lot of these songs just fade out
Suzanne Vega - Gypsy
It's fine.
Harold Faltermeyer - Shoot Out
They've put the song and artist name the wrong way round on this youtube video.
Sounds like a videogame level for a genesis era character platformer.
Too 80s for me.
Frank Zappa - G-Spot Tornado
I remember my mom liked Zappa, and iirc it was one of those kinds of like, young-people bands that her mom would be like 'turn that noise off' for.
This also sounds like a videogame level for a genesis-era character platformer, but a much more fun one.
I would play this game.
Ah a new instrument has been introduced and now it sounds like two different games on adjacent tvs playing at once.
This song is about being chased, but I don't know by what or where to.
Prince & the Revolution - Kiss
Prince; another very famous person I've never listened to
There's a person playing guitar in this video but I don't hear any guitar.
Is it that extremely gated sound?
Every instrument in this is mad gated. I kinda like it just as a neat stylistic choice.
Oh here's the guitar.
I can see why prince is as famous as he was, both culturally and musically.
U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
The tempo seems like it keeps drifting and it's bizarre.
I don't like this.
It's like kumbaya music
T-Square - Truth
Was not expecting a japanese band to be on this list.
I can't dissociate the sound of this electronic reed instrument from videogamery.
This guitar solo is much better than the one from kiss on my list.
Good song.
George Michael - Father Figure
Is this a song about his role in Arrested Development
I don't like this.
Very creepy lyrics and visuals; intensely horny and also
"I will be your father figure, put your tiny hand in mine"
