- Holland Oats - Kiss on my List
- 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"
- as they smash faces together
- I really don't like this.
- Bobby Brown - My Perogative
- This sounds a lot like a backstreet boys song.
- He even says "tell me why"
- I don't like this.
- It just keeps going
- N.W.A. - Gangsta Gangsta
- Oh my god these lyrics are so straight forward.
- Not even a hint of metaphor.
- Not my speed.
- Enya - Orinoco Flow
- Oh I've only heard the sail away part before.
- Eh, it's fine.
- De La Soul - Eye Know
- I like this
- Madonna - Like a Prayer
- Eh. It's fine.
- I don't hate it.
- Don't like it.
