Hello,
Rolling Stone has released another Top 200 Best 80s songs list. I’m going to post the songs from 200 to 1 and review each song. Is it worthy of it’s ranking, is it too high and is it too low. I’m not a big fan of Rolling Stone’s rankings as they include songs that I’ve never heard of or songs that were only popular to a very select group of people. My Top 200 80s songs would look completely different.
With MTV at its peak and radio stations playing multiple genres back in the day, if I hadn’t heard a song then it’s truly obscure. I haven’t heard of the song or artist for only song 96 on this part of the countdown. It’s only one song and band that I’ve never heard of before today.
87) Aretha Franklin “Who’s Zoomin’ Who”:
Um, that version of “Where Did Our Love Go” was particularly boring. 86) Soft Cell “Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go”:
85) The Gap Band “You Dropped A Bomb On Me”:
An all-time classic. 84) Frankie Goes To Hollywood “Relax”:
One good thing about this song, it’s much better than I expected. 83) Slick Rick “Children’s Story”:
This is a perfectly meh song, perhaps putting “Free Nelson Mandela” here woul be a good idea? 82) The Specials “Ghost Town”:
Featuring a very young Bobby Brown. 81) New Edition “Cool It Now”:
80) Yaz “Situation”:
79) George Michael “Faith”:
78) Soul 2 Soul “Back To Life (However Do You Want Me)”:
77) Roxy Music “More Than This”:
76) Poison “Talk Dirty To Me”:
75) Big County “In A Big Country”:
74) The Pretenders “Talk of the Town”:
73) Echo and the Bunnymen “Never Stop”:
72) Blondie “Call Me”:
71) Inner City “Good Life”:
