Sounds of the 80's
Well, I've been working on my biggest list ever, ranking my favourite 200 songs from the 80's. There has been extensive research, and a ridiculous amount of time listening/watching songs on youtube.

This is not as horrible as I was lead to believe. My complaints:
- "Another Day in Paradise"? "In the Air Tonight" is from the 80s after all.
- "Smooth Criminal" is not one of the 10 best songs that Michael Jackson released in the decade, let alone one of the top 25 songs of the decade.
Smooth Criminal is my personal favourite. There were way more Michael songs that the critics would consider better, but that one is my fav. Same with Phil. In the Air Tonight is good, and appears on the list somewhere, but it's just not my favourite, infact I'm gonna have a few more before I get to it, including "Don't Lose My Number", and "No Reply At All" which was a Genesis song.
