best 8o's songs

[Guest saturnmark4life]

I'm sure The Residents released a few gems, but y'know, duh.

 

Human Cannonball by The Butthole Surfers is glorious, as is pretty much everything else they did in the 80s. Ahhhh.

"Speaking of Journey, how about "Oh Sherri" by Steve Perry? Sure, the song isn't the greatest, but Perry is his usual GODLY self."

 

HELL YEAH! That's a great song. At least I like it a lot. I use to sing it to my girlfriend although it was probably the single worst sining job ever.

Journey is also the key to me marrying the single hottest women ever so I have to dig them.
