I could've easily gone with Yes or Tina. Maybe I should've. I do think this is a great song though.
I like “Missing You” by John Waite. Got dumped that year.
The Reflex from Duran Duran has quite a bit of staying power.
Nothing from this year is really a YUGE favorite for me except Cyndi Lauper and the Prince stuff. I fucking love Time after Time.
I love the 80s but it starts the get into the era where the #1 Hit Singles aren't my cup of tea.
1985 and 1986 were better years imho.
Prince was technically the #1 single that year. I almost voted for it, but I don't like much of his stuff so I allowed my bias against him to override that thought.
I never turn off Owner of a Lonely Heart when I heart it played because it's not very often that I hear it, so it got my vote.
Time After Time…FFS, Yella. Did you get your first boob grab while listening to that song or something?
It really is a pretty little tune. Re: Cindy Lauper bias...Don't forget, she had a hit song about masturbating. That has to be worth some credit.
I saw Yes at the Coliseum when they had those 80s hits. They were fucking good.
I'm a 70s Yes guy. Hated the 80s Yes
Boy do I love educating my girlfriend who was born in the 90s about Cyndi Lauper when she talks about how like groundbreaking Billie Eilish and Chappell Roan and their styles and music are….
Roundabout > Owner of a Lonely Heart.
The Throbber likes Change better than Missing You but that’s because I’m a total VisionQuest whore and know some guys in the rasslin’ room
Good documentary on John Waite on either Prime or Qello.
was there a special reason you did a poll like this starting with 1984? just wondering…
to be followed up with which year?
No specific reason. Probably will do a 90s one and then 60s and keep bouncing around with the random pole generator Yella algorithms.
I never had music playing for first boobs in face or first sexy time.
#metoo. The sound system in the dugout at the Little League field must have been on the fritz…
You lying fuck. You are not @MikeDamone
@MikeDamone knocowd her up in the pool shed.
Older guy from the stereo shop in the mall deflowered her in the dugout.
Cameron Crowe plagiarism my shit…was also known to work the pool shed bitd…
That list of top songs from 1984 is gayer than AIDS.
