Announcing... RiffMasters!

[Aynirar27]

Man the stuff I listened to in the 80s must not have been popular. Holy crap, there is a pile of garbage on that list.
Fun stuff too.

I was born in 84, so my musical journey started with 90s music. My parents played alot of 60s stuff around the house, but the 70s and 80s are a pretty big void for me outside of some hotshot guitar players.

I have a few ideas though that I’m gonna sleep on though.
However as a plant enthusiast I would like to add that every rose does not have a thorn. In fact none of them do. They have prickles, not thorns

Yea I know, I’m fun at parties…. Lol

High school class of '84 here LOL! I don't think I've ever seen a prickle or a thorn on any rose. The stem, maybe... but never the flower.

 

[Jethro Rocker]

I'm a gonna do Boston Amanda. Might change up some lyrics.

Well Main Event Round 5 has been decided, I guess the writing is on the wall for who are the top Man-Stallion Romancers of TTR

Look how close it was. @LiveeviL2000 takes the round again, his second Main Event win for ten, I believe.... but even more exciting is that we see two newish TTR forum faces @Aynirar27 and @Randy Van Malmsteen inside the top three for the seven points each, and a best so far fourth place finish for forum regular @ibmorjamn, just edged out of the big points. Still he and everyone below him will benefit from Five participatory points.

Congratulations to everyone who took part, and voted.

wow thank you!!! Actually its my first time finishing on top.
Congrats to @Aynirar27 and @Randy Van Malmsteen
Really everyone was super entertaining this round.
Here is the board filled out.

And it looks like the Penthouse is getting crowded!!
@TVvoodoo I got dibs on the top bunk!!

@Aynirar27 plant enthusiast.

Quite the green thumb, bud

@LiveeviL2000 says it was "his first time finishing on top," then quickly claims the upper bunk.

Should I be afraid?

If you keep winking at me like that, then be afraid, be EXTREMELY afraid!

I just went down that most heinous list .... the #1 hits of the 80s made me wanna ralph.
Like the music was the suckiest suck that ever sucked brah!
Dude, like, gag me with a spoon. That list is grody to the max. Where is all the totally tubular bodacious metal tuneage man? Bogus!!!

I too am bewildered at the list, sure glad that was not what I listened to .

 

[LiveeviL2000]

I’m torn between 2 choices. Both are making my Metal Core say RELAX! DONT DO IT!
But I think I might be able to make a go of it.

 

[LiveeviL2000]

I just realized something Frankie Goes to Hollywood never made #1?

With all the “RELAX” shirt that were everywhere in the mid 80s, you mean to tell me they didn’t make #1??

 

[TVvoodoo]

I was gonna go 70's, but I felt it was even a bit worse as far a cheese factor goes... at least far as #1s go.
If it had made #1 Relax would be exceptional risk-taking. Actually, that album was a go-to for me back when.... it was super trippy to float around to on headphones when I thought floatin' around was a thing to do. Lots of stereo imaging, sound effects, song variety, you can get quite lost in it.

There are plenty of lumps of coal in that list that can be pressed into diamonds if you approach it the RiffMaster spirit and not do a direct cover. I'm excited to see if anyone here can make a dance-friendly song... it's not as easy as it may seem.

I'm calling dibs on "Never Gonna Give You Up"

Billy Idol , Mony Mony

Ha!! I was just looking at that. But I think if I did it, I would make it too much of a cover.

You may have managed to hit just about every wanna forget cliche from the 80s. Good job.

To be fair Mitch. There were a few songs and groups from the 80s that were decent. REO..... Cheap Trick....Queen..... But mostly, your sentiments are mine as well.

I think Mitch should do 9 to 5 by Dolly. THAT would be rad!!

Lots of Milli Vinilli.

Alright, I’m going to take a crack at the GhostBusters theme. It’s the most familiar to this 90s kid
