10. Huey Lewis & The News- Do You Believe in Love?
This is my favorite Huey song, mostly because it was the first Huey song that I heard as a pop music obsessed 7 year old slightly compulsive top 40 autisitic junkie. His mike stand rock back and forth dance is as iconic as Axl's snake dance. Patrick Bateman doesn't like this one because it's "a little too new wave". Psycho. B+
9. Bertie Higgins- Key Largo
This song is completely horrible. Utter shit. If you're going to write a song about a classic movie like Casablanca, it should not be this bad. F
8. Stevie Wonder- That Girl
So great. For some reason, this one doesn't get the praise that other Stevie songs do. It's irresistable. A
7. Journey- Open Arms
The ultimate early 80s mainstream prom ballad. I put this video up because A) I admire it when men openly display their emotions like this and B) it's much better than looking at members of Journey. A-
6. Rick Springfield- Don't Talk to Strangers
This video. is. hilarious. This. song. is. not. Rick was so pouty and intense. The best part of this song is the French middle eight. B
5. Olivia Newton-John- Make A Move on Me
This song has not aged well. I can practically smell mothballs listening to it. B-
4. The J. Geils Band- Freeze Frame
Oh, how 7 year old Addypoo loved the end of this video. Dumping paint on people is the coolest! I had this on cassette. B+
3. Vangelis- Chariots of Fire-Titles
Try to picture someone running in slow motion without this song playing in your head, I DARE YOU. Gorgeous instrumental. A-
2. Go-Go's- We Got The Beat
Sure, they were cute, and this sort of rocks, but for some reason, I've never been as excited by them as I really should be. This song was best heard playing over the opening credits of Fast Times at Ridgemont High. B+
1. Joan Jett & The Blackhearts- I Love Rock 'N Roll
FUCKING ROCKS~! A+
