so here we go again

okay, there are some John Cougar tracks I quite like, however Pink Houses most certainly ain't amongst them

goodbye Wild Thing

I think there are much better songs than the ones listed but, of the above I'd pick Need You Tonight - INXS

Hungry Heart sounds like a throwback to something else so I vote it off. That's not really definitive or even any good to listen to.

now that I think about it, why are you guys not voting off Bruce?

You've got some great songs on your list this time. As much as I love Stevie Wonder, I do not like "Part Time Lover". It's got to go.

ddd-ddd-ddd-ddd-dun! duhduh duhduh?

I do not understand how an 80's survivor music list has NO Duran Duran. Makes no sense. They are PLAGUED as an 80's band...

Anywho, I vote off Hungry Heart.

No Duran duran, Madonna, Bananarama, go go's, culture club....these are the staples of 80s music....


anyway i vote off Tone Loc WILD THING...no way that should win!

THANK you. I mean, even if we had "Dancing In The Dark" or "I'm On Fire" I would have a harder time voting Bruce Springsteen off, but I really think "Hungry Heart" is a clunker.

"Let's do it." *drum fill*

Sorry the song choice is not pleasing many. I asked for suggestions at the end of the last one and only one person chimmed in

Promise, I will put Duran Duran , Culture Club , Go-Gos, Bananarama (we already did a Madonna in the first series) on the list next time..drop me an org note if you guys have any other ideas. I'm easy ..really.

purplegypsy... I did put Stevie Nicks in for you


Anyways ...my vote: The Boss


"Got a wife and kids in Baltimore , Jack"

Hungry Heart - Bruce Springstein
