Completing VH1's One Hit Wonders of the 80s

[Mackie]

Boooo. I think we got enough 80s in RB. Maybe not from this list, but enough 80s nevertheless.

I'd like

21 Twisted Sister: “We’re Not Gonna Take It”

and

78 Aldo Nova: “Fantasy”

Still waiting for "Video Killed the Radio Star" but Tainted Love is a very welcome addition to the library.

But only if its a special rerecording called Videogame Killed the Radio Star

I don't really know much else from this list by name. Not sure if I would buy #36

In my humble opinion, it's a slight bit of a cheat to call "It's Raining Men" an '80s one-hit-wonder anyway. Yes, the song came out in 1982, but really it's a song for the tail end of the disco era, which was another fertile ground for one-hit-wonders. "It's Raining Men" was originally written in 1979, and Diana Ross, Donna Summer, and several others passed on it before the Weather Girls recorded their version.

For the same reason I don't really consider "Funky Town" an '80s tune, even if it did come out in 1980.

Boooo. I think we got enough 80s in RB.

Never.

Well, as DLC comes to an end, it looks like this list only got 14 of its songs in Rock Band. That's a shame, but I didn't expect a lot of this list to hit the platform, anyways. Unless RBN gets another song in this list, that's all, folks!

I'm still bewildered at how we got a 3-pack of Midnight Oil without Beds Are Burning...

We got a 3-pack?

[dudemann14]

We got a 3-pack?

No, just the single "Power and the Passion". Though that WOULD be really strange if we managed to get a three pack without "Beds are Burning"...
