Speaking of the 80's the vocals for Temple of Love sound like a guy getting head while driving down a bumpy road.

I'm not sure what song has the most 80's lyrics ever but Holy Diver is up there.

The song with the most 90's lyrics ever is She Don't Use Jelly.

And that leads us to Pat Boone, who is exclusively known for embarrassing things. Boone got famous in the 1950s with soulless covers of Black artists.

Why did I quote Holy Diver? Because as a joke in the 1990s, Pat Boone had a album of metal covers. Holy Diver is one of them.

I remember being a very long car ride with my family in the late 80s, and that song was on the radio ALL The time and I said to my dad "can you change the station? this song makes me angry" as I had never heard music i hated before.

Chicago was just an awful awful band. It was Zeppelin for people that were too white to listen to actual Zep.

Early Chicago had some decent songs, like "25 or 6 to 4". But by the '80s, they were mostly putting out schlocky power ballads.

Yea, by the late 80s, so when I was like 10 or 11 I started understanding music better, and started to realize what I liked and didn't like, and I didn't like that. All those awful power ballads, or completely edgeless boring guys singing about how they love you so much.

I don't how big of a hit this was, but I did hear it A LOT on the radio

I'm sure everyone involved with this band and video does not want to be reminded of the whole endeavor. I dunno what they were even going for, hire a bunch of, i dunno, models, dancers? Make them look like motley crue but have them sing and dance like new kids on the block? Also there's just something about that late 80s cool/though guy look that I always thought was hilarious. I think its the combo of big hair, the sunglasses, super tight jeans, leather jackets, big chunky high tops and most importantly, bandanas that just makes them look really silly to me.

People seem to of missed Peter Cetra, no one will defend that garbage. Late 80s top 40 hits are some of the absolutely worst poo poo.

I'll stick up for Peter Cetera to an extent. He had a cool distinctive voice that let him smoothly glide through power ballads without "oversinging," and while I didn't care for most of his songs, his Karate Kid love anthem was catchy and the movie provided the perfect context for the material. "Peter Cetera" is a killer name for a musician, too, for whatever that's worth.

He also had a duet with Cher that's frankly pretty awful but is hilarious because you know they both paired up out of morbid fascination to hear how ridiculous it'll sound when they combine their weird distinctive voices (and for maximum weirdness he has the higher voice singing the lower parts while she has the deeper voice singing the higher parts)- it's like they morph into a single androgynous 80s power ballad-belting banshee creature.

I'll go ahead and post a vid even though I actually think it's awesome as a mad scientist experiment and don't find it embarrassing at all (honestly this thread's showing a distressing lack of appreciation for kitsch that I find unbecoming of a comedy forum called "SomethingAwful.com" but whatever I won't judge)

I die a little inside every single time that one John Legend song gets to the line about how he loves your "perfect imperfections." Jesus loving Christ could you gild that lily any loving harder?

I believe it's in the chorus which means I get to experience a little death multiple times in one song duration.

There's one thing that Todd doesn't give Posner enough poo poo for, and that's how much this whiny rear end song still sounds like the most insufferable humblebrag.
