Yes, it is coming to an end. Final installment of 30 songs from the 80s.
30 - "Here I Go Again" - Whitesnake
I'm not what you would call a Whitesnake fan. They're not offensive or anything, just not really anything I listen to.This gets on the list for the video. Pretty much just Tawny Kitaen rolling around on a car. Tawny makes even pop metal with a Zepplin fixation listenable.
29 - "War Song" - Culture Club
Either brilliantly simple or stupidly shallow. 'War is stupid/And people are stupid' Yes indeed Mr.(?) O'Dowd.
28 - "The Men All Paused" -Klymaxx
Because it isn't suggestive if you spell it phonetically. Although putting two xs on the end does bring to mind porn.
27 - "Blue Light" - David Gilmour
Oh so much better than when he tried to be Pink Floyd without Roger.
26 - "Pros and Cons of Hitchiking" - Roger Waters
Well, at least he wasn't trying to be Pink Floyd.
25 - "Are We Ourselves?" - The Fixx
Again with double xs.
24 - "My House" - Mary Jane Girls
A Rick James joint. (Hey, double meaning!)
23 - "My Favorite Room" - Lime Spiders
It's hard to get more obscure than this while sticking with stuff put out on major labels. The cover of their album features a posterized image of a Zygon, thus illustrating the value of Doctor Who fandom. Otherwise you wouldn't know that, leading to feelings of lonliness and isolation.
22 - "C'mon Every Beatbox" - Big Audio Dynamite
This guy used to be in the Clash. Who would have predicted the dance club direction he would go in after the Clash callled it quits? Well, pretty much anyone who could make it through Sandanista, but otherwise?
21 - "Valley Girl" - Frank (with Moon Unit) Zappa
Who names their kid Moon? I mean, really? Fer sure fer sure.

How did you know I collect Chick tracts? (Really, I do.) And why are you quoting the Byrds? Oh, wait, Ecclesiastes (I think), right ...
