Here’s the list, in its entirety:Ġ1 Dexy’s Midnight Runners “Come on Eileen”Ġ2 Flock of Seagulls “I Ran (So Far Away)”ġ3 Thomas Dolby “She Blinded Me With Science”ġ9 Dead or Alive “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)”Ģ1 Twisted Sister “We’re Not Gonna Take It”Ģ4 Edie Brickell & New Bohemians “What I Am”Ģ6 Cutting Crew “I Just Died In Your Arms”Ģ8 John Parr “St. And putting Devo and Midnight Oil here is just plain wrong.īut then, that’s why the internet exists - to pick apart the hard work of others. Twisted Sister also had “I Wanna Rock” (I didn’t say all the other tracks were good ones). And there’s certainly a couple I’d take issue with - The Waitresses also had the awesome “Christmas Wrapping” which still makes my Yuletide song rotation. A great deal of nostalgia to be found here - my mom was always a sucker for “Lady in Red.” If I were to make up a list of the top 100 dumbfuck band names, “Kajagoogoo ” would be in the top ten or fifteen. Innocence, cassingles, music videos and astonishing amounts of cocaine abuse. They’ve produced “The 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders Of The 80’s”, and I must give them kudos - there is NO decade that could possibly have produced as many one-hit wonders as the 80s - hell, I’m pretty sure the term was spawned out of the 80s, It was a remarkable time, back when things like cassingles existed and when MTV played videos.
VH1, because they have an astonishing amount of time on their hands, released yet another list, which you will no doubt find endlessly amusing. But out of the vast selection of sucktarded radio-friendly pop tunes that came out of the 80s, there’s just so. There’s plenty of other stuff - some good metal, rap, New Wave - that I enjoy. I swear, there are less than 10 pop songs from that decade that I actually like.
