You've nominated your favorites.  Now we need to pare down the list.  Rank your top 10 from the list below, in order from 1 to 10.  I will assign points to any song nominated based on your ranking (a #1 ranking gets 10 points; a #2 gets 9 points; and so on...).  Your list should look like this:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

If you do not follow that format and I can't figure out your ranking system, I probably won't count your vote.  Your ranking can be based on your love of the song, the video, some amalgom of both--doesn't matter to me. 

Here is the list, based on last round:

Smooth Criminal - Michael Jackson
Take On Me - A-Ha
Walk This Way - Run DMC/Aerosmith
Fight For Your Right - Beastie Boys
Safety Dance - Men Without Hats
Round And Round - Ratt
Billie Jean - Michael Jackson
Money For Nothing - Dire Straights
Voices Carry - Til Tuesday
Centerfold - J. Geils Band
Everybody Wants To Rule The World - Tears For Fears
Girls On Film - Duran Duran
Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) - Journey
Blind In Texas - WASP
All I Want Is You - U2
The Boys of Summer - Don Henley
Shadows of the Night - Pat Benatar
She Blinded Me With Science - Thomas Dolby
Hot For Teacher - Van Halen
Bark At The Moon - Ozzy
Rock It - Herbie Hancock
Thriller - Michael Jackson
Never Surrender - Corey Hart
Sledge Hammer - Peter Gabriel
Hungry Like the Wolf - Duran Duran
Yankee Rose - David Lee Roth
Cindy Lauper - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
One - Metallica
The Trooper - Iron Maiden
Vienna - Ultravox
Ashes To Ashes - David Bowie
Steppin' Out - Joe Jackson
Africa - Toto
Stripped -  Depeche Mode
Just Like Heaven - The Cure
Lucretia My Reflection - The Sisters of Mercy
Magic Touch - Mike Oldfield 
We're Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister
Summertime Girls - Y&T
Another Thing Coming - Judas Priest
Radio Gaga - Queen
Eye Of The Tiger - Survivor

I know I said top 50 were going to advance, but (1) I would have to really start stretching and including songs that were pretty far down people's lists, and (2) a "Top 40" is so much more '80s. 

Now...GO!

It feels criminal that a few songs didn't make it, but that's the way it goes.

To correct the OP, it's Dire Straits, not Dire Straights. ;)

I'll have to give this some thought - do we have a time limit on this round?

Okay, no.  But not long.
