Future Rock Legends - The Song Project - 1983

Here are the songs from 1983 that I feel are worthy of Hall Of Fame Induction, ranked in order of preference:

U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday - My favorite U2 song

The Police - Every Breath You Take - My favorite Police song

U2 - New Year's Day
Talking Heads - Burning Down the House
New Order - Blue Monday
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Pride And Joy
David Bowie - Modern Love

Bob Marley And The Wailers - Buffalo Soldier - Marley is under-represented in the Hall and this is one of the last worthy songs he released.

ZZ Top - Gimme All Your Lovin'
Yes - Owner of a Lonely Heart

Elvis Costello and The Attractions - Everyday I Write the Book - I'm not sure why the voters in this project don't support more Elvis Costello songs.

The Fixx - One Thing Leads To Another - It seems like every year has one legitimately great one hit wonder song.

Motley Crue - Shout At The Devil - I'm supporting a Motley Crue song. This will not happen often if ever again.

John Cougar Mellencamp - Authority Song
ZZ Top - Sharp Dressed Man

Metallica - Seek And Destroy - Metallica's first song to stand a chance at induction.

Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time - It's not her most famous song, but it is her best.

The Police - King Of Pain
U2 - Seconds

The Kinks - Come Dancing (This song was previously considered last year, so it's not eligible for voting in 1983)
