I was talking to a freind of mine and telling him how much cooler the cartoons were when I was a kid compared to the cartoons from the 90's and today. So that and retrojunk.com inspired me to make this video. The criteria for my top 10 is not the quality of the shows but the quality of the opening intro and Theme song. If it was a top cartoons of the 80's I would have included Robotech, Silverhawks, GI joe you know stuff like that.AUDIO IS A MUST
Holy shit, MIGHTY ORBOTS!
Nice "list", but I disagree with the 10 he chose... but that's just me.

10) I've actually never heard of this show.
9) I LOVED Dinosaucers
8)I always hated Spiral Zone's theme song.
7)I completely forgot about orbots, yet as soon as the song started I could remember EVERY word.
6)Man this theme song is sooo 80's.
5)I might have had to MASK higher on the list.
4)It almost sounds like Jack Black singing.
3)Really, Pole Position? As number 3???
2)Jem so deserves to be first!
1)No way does Wheel Warriors deserve number 1. It sooo has to be Jem!
...it seems to me you picked 80 intro songs that almost all have a rock ballade type vibe. Other themes I would have had to include would have been "My Little Ponies" "Denver The Last Dinosaur" "Duck Tales" and "Gummi Bears." Keep in mind though that I was born in 82 so maybe I'm just biased to the cartoons of the mid to late 80's.
Nice!
Note that those are not my choices, but some person named Ravenphoenix on YouTube. I merely shared his/her clip.
I agree... some do not deserve to be on there and many were not included (Duck Tales, Gummi Bears....)

lol missed the whole part where you clearly made it obvious it wasn't YOUR list in the original post.
heh, no worries. it happens all the time, especially with a blog... and I usually tend to post MY opinions, not others.
i think that list SUCKS.
...but then i was born in '71 so you can imagine me saying that as i wave my cane at you.
wow. i am surprised i have not heard any remixes of Pole Position. I mean.. the jokes are just there.. waiting.
obviously some people have more tact than i.
Ha, nice one Dano.... yeah, I think the list is lacking, but thought it was fun to see and hear some of those songs.... plus I had totally forgotten about the Mighty Orbots!
I made some minor adjustments to the post (like removal of "Top", heh).
fyi, I'm a '75 baby.
:)
i never forgot about The Mighty Orbots. it was a definitive cut above all the other cartoons of that time. a friend of mine works on Toonami at Cartoon Network in Atlanta and years ago they were scrambling for new cartoons to put on. he asked me if there was anything i would want to see and i didn't hesitate:
"the Mighty Orbots."
...but after they dug it up they saw that there was only one season ever made of the ill-fated Orbots, so they wouldn't have enough shows to put it in rotation.
gah.
NOOO!!!
But thanks for recommending the Orbots as a possible show! Gold sticker for Dano!!
