"You Give Love a Bad Name" is one of the biggest hard rock hits of the 80s, featured on Bon Jovi's album Slippery When Wet (1986).
Released as a first single, the track reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and helped Slippery When Wet sell more than 20 million copies worldwide, turning Bon Jovi into one of the biggest bands on the planet. The video, with its cinematic aesthetic and the charisma-filled performance of Jon Bon Jovi, became an MTV classic and consolidated the group's image of rock stars.
Rock and Roll All Nite is from the album Dressed to Kill (1975), KISS's third studio album. Written by Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, the song was created as an anthem for fans and the band's wildlife.
The studio version was not as successful on the charts (it only reached #68 on the Billboard Hot 100), but the live version recorded on the album Alive! (1975) became a phenomenon. Released as a single in October 1975, it reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became the biggest commercial success of KISS's career up to that time.
"Ordinary World" is the second song in a trilogy written by Simon Le Bon about mourning the death of his childhood great friend David Miles. It is the second track on the album "Duran Duran", commonly referred to as The Wedding Album. https://t.co/i6JvI2PmqS
"Poison" is from the album Trash (1989) and marked Alice Cooper's great commercial comeback after quieter years. Written by Alice with Desmond Child (the '80s hitmaker who had previously worked with Bon Jovi, Kiss and Cher) and guitarist John McCurry, the track has that vicious riff that McCurry used just to warm up before the shows, Alice and Desmond listened and asked him to use it in music.
It was his first video to gain heavy rotation on MTV, helped win back young audiences and became one of the biggest hits of his career: #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #2 in the UK.

"Beds Are Burning" is a powerful protest anthem about returning land to Australia’s Indigenous peoples, especially the Pintupi. In 1986 Midnight Oil traveled through the Outback playing in remote Aboriginal communities and was deeply affected by the terrible living conditions and forced displacement they saw. In 2000, during the Sydney Olympics closing ceremony, Midnight Oil walked on stage wearing black suits with the word “SORRY” printed across them (without IOC permission) as a direct protest against the government that refused to apologize to the “Stolen Generations”. Peter Garrett has always used the band as a strong political platform.
