Yeah, pretty much. All of those ballads/songs of desperation and hope/ etc. :D

Oh, I need to get some Styx too.

add some Meatloaf, Billy idol (White wedding, Cradle of love), Corey Hart - I wear my Sunglasses at Night, Warrant (Cherry pie, Heaven), White snake - Is this love, maybe some Queen (Free, Under pressure etc...), Alice Cooper - Poison, 38 Special - So caught up in you and, Kiss (I was made for loving you is super cheesy, you might not want to have it on), thats all I can think of off the top of my head right now...

I don't really know meatloaf, what songs would be inline with the slower, love type songs, or whatever?

uh theres Bat out of Hell, I would do anything for love, and I'd lie for you. They're more like ballads...

Boston peaked in the 70s anyway.

Add Michael Jackson and Boy George.

Please analyze and tell me what else should be on this playlist.

Thank you, loved ones.

As soon as you eliminate all food and water from your diet. :)

Journey is the original emo chick music. Foreigner is okay in small does and Boston is okay if you don't mind listening to the same two cords over and over.

eh, maybe not ballady, desperate or hopeful enough, but:

need more Van Halen - Jump, Panama, Hot for Teacher
Def Leppard
Billy Idol
where's the Poison, Crue, Ratt, Warrant, etc :p


these got a lot of airplay but are too hard for you playlist and would destroy it with their awesomeness:
AC/DC, G n' R, Ozzy


BTW "Right Now" isn't 80's :)

:music::music::music::music:
There's too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go 'round
Can't you see
This is a land of confusion.
:music::music::music::music:

That song = my savior. It's what got my gf stuck in the 80's with me, haha. Also, mad props to Disturbed for making that addictive cover of it that let me get that crucial first handhold on her musical tastes.

You did NOT just call me an emo chick! It's on, n00b. It's on.
