You managed to put some of my favorite 80's songs on this list.....though you also put one of my least favorite songs of the 80's on it...and it's not the Def Lep tune surprisingly. I absolutely HATE Great White's cover of Ian Hunters "One Bitten Twice Shy".

Also I'd like to throw extra brownie point to Quiet Riot's version "Cum On Feel The Noize" for being one of the most important songs in rock music history. FACT!

I will happily submit my list a little bit later on this evening. Great topic, btw.

I'm not much for the song, but Great White has some of the greatest guitar tones I have ever heard, I absolutely love the way their guitars sound

Great list of songs KMET.. It would make a good compilation CD..

edit.. But I would switch Y&T's Summertime Girls for Lipstick and Leather..

 

[rtbuck]

Really good stuff there,Kmet.
... Now I can't get Gypsy Road out of my head!!
Y & T are another one of those bands that I thought should've been bigger(like Starz)
