From that list,the only song I really like is Sheena Easton's "The Lover In Me".Pop music started to go downhill in the late 80s,although it's still better than what we have now.

I use to love that Sheena Easton song like crazy when I was little.

I used to watch ' America's Top 10' with Casey Kasem and write down the Top 10 every week in a notebook...this list was definatly in it...I was so obsessed with Billboard and charts back then!!!!

Wow, when you were little? I'm getting old.

Didn't Babyface have something to do with that track?

That's the only song I like on that list also.

it's an LA and Babyface production.

Even the shittiest music we have now is better than the 80's

Well, thats about it for me. Never liked "lost in your eyes", despite being a fan of Debbie's.

This was my jam from that list:



I had no idea what he was talkin' about in this song, as I was only about 7 or 8 years old.

I listened to it recently and was like at the lyric, "I gave her my OWN ride."

Tone Loc, you graffilthy man.

I've still got the 12inch, which bore a nice bright red sticker on its back sleeve reading: "This album contains language which may be considered offensive."

Eventually I thought it was cuz of the cussin in "loced after dark," which was on the flipside.....but I know NOW!

I think you have it the other way around. As for music now, there is none. There's only shit hop and shit hop is not music.

Yeah, I hate most of the music now.....but did I ever hate 80's music

1989 was one of my favorite years for music, but mostly from April onward.

I have forgotten a Bon Jovi song (and a Rick Astley one - bonus)!

I like all of the other songs.

I'm gonna go with Ms, Easton,though her music hasn't held up. '89... this is near the beginning of my exile as far a music goes.
