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

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.

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

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)

Out of these, Jump is really the only one I like.

This guy knows what's right. Jump is an amazing song anyway, so it got my vote.

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

The '80s was all about bustin' balls. How else do you think they managed to sing so high?

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
