What, nothing by U2? How could they leave out "Sunday, Boody Sunday" (1983) and ... well, everything U2 ever recorded in the 80s?
Not but what those were not ten great songs.
No, those were the top ten ass-kicking songs of the 80's. They certainly weren't the best and weren't supposed to be! It was meant to be funny.
And there was an awful lot of ass-kicking music back then, now that I think on it.





"Wanted (Dead or Alive)" by Bon Jovi
This song was written in that small window of the '80s when a blue collar steelworker from New Jersey with a terminal case of hockey hair could write songs about being a cowboy and be taken seriously. It was a very small window; it really only encased this one song. When he tried to repeat its success with "Blaze of Glory," the whole thing became laughable (when Bon Jovi insists that he is a "Colt in your stable," a lyric which may be the most unintentionally gay thing anybody ever said, ever, throughout time).
Funny shit!![]()

Oh what, and U2 dosn't kick the most epic ass known to mankind?!
You can not tell me that Bono marching across the stage at Red Rocks while the whole venue was shrouded in clouds in a downpour and planting a white flag in the crowd is not one of the most epic musical moments of the eighties, let alone one of the most epic music moments of all time!
I've been to a show or two on the Rocks and while the stairs may kick your ass into utter submission, even the shittiest band is guarenteed to have an epic show. Make the band be an 80's heyday U2 and throw fire on top of the rocks and you can't get any more epic.
And to think the whole thing very nearly didn't happen!

Good point.
I have shaken hands with Bono.





That's not an inspirational song, that's a song about a massacre. I believe they were going for cheesy inspiration, not just anthemic. Also, the list is in Cracked, people. It is a humor magazine, not a serious venue for rock criticism.
From Wikipedia article on Eniskillen:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enniskillen_bombing
...In reaction to the bombing, Bono, of the Irish rock band U2, regularly paused during the singing of his famous protest song about the Troubles, Sunday Bloody Sunday, to denounce the violence and the Irish-Americans supporting it.[13]...
...13. # ^ For example, Bono can be seen delivering the following quote in the rockumentary Rattle and Hum: "And let me tell you something: I've had enough of Irish Americans who haven't been back to their country in twenty or thirty years come up to me and talk about the resistance, the revolution back home; and the glory of the revolution, and the glory of dying for the revolution - fuck the revolution! They don't talk about the glory of killing for the revolution. What's the glory in taking a man from his bed and gunning him down in front of his wife and his children? Where's the glory in that? Where's the glory in bombing a Remembrance Day parade of old age pensioners, their medals taken out and polished up for the day? Where's the glory in that? To leave them dying, or crippled for life, or dead, under the rubble of the revolution that the majority of the people in my country don't want. No more! Sing no more!"...
Pretty inspirational to me.
Methinks you misunderstood me.
Let us also not forget the highly inspirational and very spiritual album, "The Joshua Tree," (1987).

maxinecat is sad- Journey is meant to be sincerely enjoyed, not ironically!!!! Neal Schon will slap you with his dick if you do otherwise.
//Steve Perry, hometown hero!
///I haz Jurnee



I'm one of the people who enjoys Journey ironicly. I used to collect vynal from bad arena and hairmetal bands and I definitely had some Journey in there, lol.
I miss my awesome collection.

I just realized, I think all of these are in the jukebox at work. Maybe today I'll dance to them all!
I got tipped extra to dance to "The Final Countdown" once a few months ago. I did it too. It was awesome.




Don't stop believing is one of my faves....seriously:p





I'm reserving my opinion of what I think is inspiring, but, I just wanted to say that I've had to much to drink at the Celtic Festival today and will admit that...
I know every dance move from the video "Love is A Battlefield".
That is all.
*burp*
I was watching American Psycho and I could hear "I Touch Roses" by Book of love in the background. I was TERRORFIED because I found myself bobbing my head Roxburry style and singing along. It happens too when I hear "Der Kommissar" by Falco. *shudders*![]()
