You can literally hear the opening drum thud and the guitar crunch in your teeth.

1981 handed us the definitive rock 'n' roll anthem that essentially built early MTV culture.

Where does Joan Jett's version rank in the tier list of the greatest cover songs ever recorded?

There is no middle ground: you either aggressively air-keyboard to Europe's "The Final Countdown" or you’re lying to yourself.

1986 gave us peak hair metal, massive hooks, and a track that became the permanent soundtrack for theatrical exits and sports promos.

Where does that opening riff rank on your all-time hype list?

You can't read the words "Dōmo arigatō" without finishing the sentence in a robot voice.

Styx went full sci-fi in 1983 and handed us one of the most iconic synth-rock tracks ever made.

Where does this rank in the tier list of weirdly awesome 80s concept songs?

You get up in the morning
You think you've got a job
But you're on unemployment
With the rest of the mob

For a few lousy tickets
You get the Denver Boot
They put your car in
With the rest of the loot

You say you don't like
Nuclear war
When tax time comes
You gladly give them more

You've got your computer
You think you've got them beat
Har har har
It will make you obsolete!

For my 25th birthday in 1989, I saw The Rolling Stones at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City (the huge blowup dolls they had on either side of the stage for “Honky Tonk Women” was a trip!) and the opening act was these guys. One of the best rock concerts I’ve ever attended.
