You a one minute man?

zzz

I am doing a SINGLES list now. I am in 1984. And I picked Tricky over Jungle Love.

Also, only on 1984 (not even halfway) and I already got 220 picks. Right now I suppose Eurythmics got the most in.

Has anyone notice how difficult it really is to pick the best songs for the 1980's where there are TOO MANY great tracks?

Yes. I am just weeding out the 80's albums in my collection. Just compiling 1980/1986 (well, part of 1986) gives me 303 songs. First half of the decade was ruled by Eurythmics, second half is going to be Prince, with or without The Revolution.

I am highlighting my favest tracks, though.

After this is done, I need to check the Acclaimed Music site list for oversights.

Dayummmm...

Gaaah. I think I've got it sorted out. However, please consider both of my lists tentative. If I have time on Saturday, I'm going to do one more review..

It's a nightmare of a task. lol I built my own computer program to help me sort out all of my lists. I had over 1,000 80s songs to weight through (and even then those are the ones I really, really love!) and I still second-guess myself all the time.

zzz

I am doing a SINGLES list now. I am in 1984. And I picked Tricky over Jungle Love.

Also, only on 1984 (not even halfway) and I already got 220 picks. Right now I suppose Eurythmics got the most in.


I not so mildly love you!

Yes. I am just weeding out the 80's albums in my collection. Just compiling 1980/1986 (well, part of 1986) gives me 303 songs. First half of the decade was ruled by Eurythmics, second half is going to be Prince, with or without The Revolution.

I am highlighting my favest tracks, though.

After this is done, I need to check the Acclaimed Music site list for oversights.

Dayummmm...


That is how I feel about Kool & The Gang AND Culture Club. The first half of the 80's would have never been the same with those bands. cool

It's a nightmare of a task. lol I built my own computer program to help me sort out all of my lists. I had over 1,000 80s songs to weight through (and even then those are the ones I really, really love!) and I still second-guess myself all the time.


I'm second-guessing #80-#100 on my own list. NO Talking Heads, NO Pat Benatar, but yet I remember Whitney freaking Houston. disbelief My credibility is getting damage right now. lol


i just sorted my itunes by year; although i'm sure i ended up forgetting things, but... with so many great songs, it's impossible to remember everything.

it's clear to me that the 80s will always be my favorite decade musically.

You can add more to your list if you like!


I'll tell you what, I will use exactly 10 spots (#101-#110) as part of the "honorable mention" section and that's it! nod

I sent a orgnote after I'm done.

Great! Can I still include the honorable mentions in the list, or do you want me only to count the top 100?
