Title: 1984 - Your favorites of the number 1 hits (VOTE FOR FIVE SONGS)
Post by: KevShmev on April 03, 2016, 04:40:31 PM: As mentioned in the first thread, pick your five favorite songs from this year. Two will advance to the 80s finals.

The ultimate goal: to see what DTF's favorite number 1 song of the 1980s is.

Here we have the choices for 1984.

YOU CAN VOTE FOR FIVE SONGS.

Post by: KevShmev on April 03, 2016, 04:48:58 PM: When going through this year, I was surprised to see that neither Heartbeat City nor Born in the U.S.A. had a number 1 hit. And The Boys of Summer only made the top 5. :censored

Post by: KevShmev on April 03, 2016, 04:57:05 PM: I'll never get the appeal of those who think they have to be the forum police.

More traffic in GMD means more voting.

I think a good compromise, and this can be my formal request to the mod squad, is to leave these here for the first day and then move them to P/S for the next five days after that.

Post by: Crow on April 03, 2016, 05:01:57 PM: 1. they bury other threads
2. objectively they should be in a different forum

irdc if you want more traffic, polls/survivors gets plenty of traffic too and you just sound pissy

Post by: CharlesPL on April 03, 2016, 05:42:54 PM: Against All Odds - Phil Collins
Title: Re: 1984 - Your favorites of the number 1 hits (VOTE FOR FIVE SONGS)
Post by: Calvin6s on April 03, 2016, 06:15:36 PM: Jump - Van Halen
When Doves Cry - Prince
Owner of a Lonely Heart - Yes
The Reflex -Duran Duran
Hello - Lionel Richie

This one was hard because there were a lot of bands in this one I liked, but that particular song wasn't a favorite of mine.

And actually, when I checked my results, I realized I probably would have picked Against All Odds over Hello but I didn't double check my picks before submitting. Oh well. Lionel Richie needs some recognition here (Brick House, Easy are great songs)

At least it didn't explode like Three Dog Night's Chuck Negron.

Post by: WebRaider on April 08, 2016, 07:44:40 PM: I actually like Kenny Loggins a good bit but surprised to see Footloose that highly regarded... just truly not one of his better overall songs IMO. Think Kevin Bacon is flawing the voting here... :lol
