Title: Battle of the 80's Music! (Registration)
Post by: Eternal on January 08, 2011, 06:52:54 am
The VGM Tourney only has about a week left on it, so I decided to setup registration for the next music battles, which the theme will be 80's music. I'm mostly starting registration early because I know a lot of people are going to have trouble finding which songs they pick, so this will give them time. :D
Rules:
-Registration is due January 20th. -People may submit up to two songs. -Each song may only be submitted once- no repeats. -No remixes. -Each song must have been released from 1980-1989. -There will be a max of 32 entrants. -Each fight is single elimination. -Songs will be randomly chosen to "fight" each other. -Post a Youtube video with the song you wish to submit. -Post the band who made the song. -Not really necessary, but post next to the song title the year the song was released. If you don't know, Wikipedia is your friend!
So, without further adieu, I submit:
Mad World (Tears for Fears, 1982)
Sweet Child o' Mine (Guns and Roses, 1988)
Have fun picking!~

YYZ (Rush - 1981)
Air Blower (Jeff Beck - 1983?)
Too many choices left off. Scuttle Buttin' by Stevie Ray Vaughan probably the thing I'm most sad about.

Thriller - Michael Jackson (1982 Album release, 1984 single release)
Journey - Don't Stop Believing (1981)
And because we're adding ones just for fun - This (1987)
I fear whoever submits this will win, and wrongly so.

George Strait - All My Ex's Live In Texas (1987) - Basically, dammit, there needs to be at least a token country song on this damned thing. And the classic "I've got friends in low places" was 1990 -_-)
Honorable mentions are Madonna's "Like a Prayer", The Cure's "Just Like Heaven", Phil Collin's "In the Air Tonight", and then anything off Peter Gabriel's album "So" or REM's "Green".

It doesn't really have to be a band. It can be a single singer, too.

:cool:Overwhelmingly 80's style! Mike Oldfield 'Discovery' 1984:
also (just for fun) 'Poison Arrows' from the same album 'Discovery'
I think these two pop songs are sung by Barry Palmer.
or King Crimson 'Three of a Perfect Pair' of the same year:

I see a lot of songs I would of nominated were already put up, so I guess I'll throw in my two cents here... oh boy is it a long shot.
Land of Confusion - Genesis - October 1986
Easy Lover - Phil Collins and Phillip Bailey - November 1984

A song that is very wrong but disturbingly addicting:
Little Girls - Oingo Boingo (Only A Lad - 1981)
Used an AMV because it's slightly less creepy, and much more hilarious (especially if you've seen Azumanga Daioh).
And because I'm a closet fan:
Take My Breath Away - Berlin (Top Gun soundtrack - 1986)

Toady, if you were a closet fan you'd have picked:

That my "guilty pleasure" closet has its own weather system. But I've known this for a very, very long time.
Edit: Changing my nomination. Goodbye Smiths, hello...
Vince DiCola - Because, dammit, we need some AWESOME SYNTH music up in hur. However, I am most distraught between something from Rocky or Transformers... hm... sorry Rocky. Your training montage in IV was awesome, but...
Escape!

Alright! Now I know registrations over, but I love 80's music too much not to post again... Neil Young in his techno phase from a great album:
