I concur with your #1 pick.
REO Tricycle eh? No big disagreement with your top 3 or 4 and bottom ones. There’s this guy I follow on twitter, Jake Rudh, who I think has an internet radio station, anyway, a big 80s music fan, he recently picked “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” as the “epic” song of the whole decade. Don’t know if I would put it there, but it ranks up there for sure
I was going to opine that “We Are The World” belongs at the bottom, then I saw you had “We Built This City” there and changed my mind.
“I Want To Know What Love Is’- Foreigner” Should be No 1 lol!
a great song for them.
yes indeed i got their cd’s!
Not a great year of number ones.
I’d have to make #4, #1. 😀
