My Personal Favourites

Throw in ZZ Top- Legs at Number 6 , and move everything down from there

 

[2 True Blues]

No Angels, Barnes or INXS on that list mate ?? To name but a very small few.

 

[2 True Blues]

Was Comfortably numb by Pink Floyd an eighties written song. If so that is definately in the TOP ten !!!!

 

[2 True Blues]

Where are Aus Crawl and Dragon ??? Not to mention those classic one hit wonders that flew thru the eighties.....

Barnes was more known as the lead singer of Cold Chisel In The 80s than a solo artist.

The Only Real Big Hit he had solo was Working Class Man

Good Times with INXS & Driving Wheels among others were big for Barnsey in the mid to late 80's, f**k I've got'em here somewhere but there all on 45rpm records :lol:

Liked that eighties song " Ungaurded moment " by the Church.

"Eye of the Tiger" was an awesome song as well.

And Queen had some total epics not to mention Pink Floyds classics from that time.
