WHY would a "reputable source" like VH1 compile a list of the "Top 100 Songs of the 80's and NOT include ONE selection from Tears for Fears, Emerson - Lake & Palmer, Oingo Boingo, Zebra, OR Genesis?!!!!!!!! REALLY pisses me off!!!!! Anyone else?

I wouldn't take the list too seriously. Look at the top 10:
1. Bon Jovi / "Livin' on a Prayer"
2. Def Leppard / "Pour Some Sugar On Me"
3. Duran Duran / "Hungry Like the Wolf"
4. Michael Jackson / "Billie Jean"
5. Prince / "When Doves Cry"
6. Hall & Oates / "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)"
7. Guns N' Roses / "Sweet Child O' Mine"
8. Madonna / "Like a Virgin"
9. Run-D.M.C. / "Walk This Way"
10. AC/DC / "You Shook Me All Night Long"
Pretty lame list if you ask me. Oingo Boingo had a cult following which explains why they aren't there. Tears for Fears never had a fanatic base. ELP and Genesis had more critical success in the 70's.
The question is how come the Police only have once song and it's at #46?

I have found those lists totally inaccurate. I mean look at the lists of worst songs ever, they have some pretty good songs in there. I think they need to make those lists by doing surveys on their web site or fire whoever they have in charge of those things.

... well, I've only heard of one of them, so there you go. Not that I know much about the music from the 80's, but it sounds like you are a tad biased. *shrugs* And if you're pissed off about it, well, maybe you should've voted.

One would think that they should..unless those bands only had one hit wonders....and before you get defensive I grew up in the 80's listening to those very bands

Hmmm. In my opinion, Genesis is the only one that should be in the running.
