SenseOfDoubt

"St. Elmos Fire" must be a Brian Eno cover, or??? - Does it differ a lot from the original, if so?

I want to puke! Many of those songs make me cringe! BTW, I don't know if I could pick any songs from that list that I really like (hell, Madonna's "Hung Up", the only pop hit I've liked in a long time isn't on there) but I like or love nearly all the songs on the 1985 list.

26. "Saving All My Love For You".....Whitney Houston
55. "You Give Good Love".....Whitney Houston


Oh, the beginning of the end.....and I was only at the young age of 18.


34. "Raspberry Beret".....Prince & The Revolution


That's a long fall from number one the previous year with "When Doves Cry". evillol


What a depressing year it was. And to think, I graduated from high school this year. Oh well, at least my senior year started in 1984 and things didn't get dead till the summer after I graduated.
