Corporate media brainwashing is all that list is. Those songs are out of favor because they are mostly '80's, but 90% of that list is great songs. What's bothering the record companies and MTV right now are all the '80's format radio stations that are popping up around the country. The '80-'90's had some of the best music ever.
04) Poison - Unskinny bop - should actually be #1 on that list.
All those songs were actually hits for most of those bands. The list would have been more believable if they listed songs from those bands that were some of their worst offerings, not their hits.
Songs that definately don't belong on that list;
33) Dio - The Last in line
23) Dokken - Breaking the chains
20) Danzig - Mother
16) Queensryche - Silent lucidity
15) Whitesnake - Here I go again
11) Autograph - Turn up the radio
08) White Lion - Wait
