We got the Beat by GoGos. Always thought that records was way too corny, as their other songs.

My vote goes to Fast Car.


Didn't think anyone would vote Fast Car right off the bat. Oh well. confused

My vote goes to Oh Sheila. Because She Drives Me Crazy has an incredible hook, even if is his voice is so fucking annoying.

Looks like Ready for The World, Fine Young Cannibals and Tracy Chapman are our first targets, as these three battle it out for the first exit Voting open for a few more hours.

I will vote only if a tie...just don't let it happen smile

Fast Car is a great song that came from a great album. I used to listen to it daily with Edie Brickell's "Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars."

It just doesn't scream 80s to me. Yeah, I know it came out in 88, but it FEELS like a 90's song to me. There aren't any synths on it, and does it have drums? I can't remember.
