Hair Band edition:

• Kix ~ "Don't Close Your Eyes"
• Warrant ~ "Heaven"
• Faster Pussycat ~ "House of Pain"
• Great White ~ "Once Bitten, Twice Shy"
• Poison ~ "Something to Believe In"

Hard to do. Had to leave off White Lion, The Scorpions, Motley Crue, Quiet Riot, etc.

 

[Henry Spencer 0]

[*]Kix ~ "Don't Close Your Eyes"

 

[*]Faster Pussycat ~ "House of Pain"

Out of all the overblown, cheesy power ballads of the eighties, these are the two cheesiest and most overblown.

 

Which, of course, makes them brilliant.

[Guest Coffey]

Of course.

 

I should've just changed Once Bitten Twice Shy to something like Home Sweet Home and made it the power ballad edition. Maybe Winds of Change by The Scorpions even.

[5_moves_of_doom 0]

I've never done an overall version. Wow.

 

Maybe that's because I can never think of five songs to put on here. But, eh, here we go. Of the moment:

 

George Gershwin -- "Rhapsody in Blue (Zubin Mehta conducted version)"

The Velvet Underground -- "Heroin"

Television -- "Torn Curtain"

Slint -- "Good Morning Captain"

Talking Heads -- "Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On)"

 

I feel bad that there's no Nick Drake on there, and I think it's too soon to put any Nick Cave in there just yet, but eh, this is my list today.

1) "Constantinople"/"Sinister Exaggerator"

2) "Gigantic"/"River Euphrates"

The Quarashi Edition:

 

1.) "Mr. Jinx"

2.) "Transparent Parents"

3.) "Catch 22"

4.) "Baseline"

The fact that 3 of the 5 songs are from Jinx is no concidence. Jinx is my favorite Quarashi album for a reason.
