I think this album had more filler than "A Wizard, A True Star," but it had some real gems in there.

I said I'd rank some yesterday, so I'll do that. First page's stuff, in no particular order:
=== A-Tier === Toto - Africa (classic then, classic now) MJ - Billie Jean (easily one of the catchiest of all time) Prince - 1999 (undisputed all-time great) Queen - Another One Bites the Dust (A+) Oingo Boingo - Just Another Day (wild, weird, and very 80s) Ray Parker Jr. - Ghostbusters (few 80s tracks are earworms in the same way as this) Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (it may be a meme, but don't that catchiness gleam) Nena - 99 Luftballons (no idea what she's saying, but it's classic) Billy Idol - White Wedding (still pretty decent to this day) Flock of Seagulls - I Ran (vocals hold up, but the instrumentation feels thin as paper) Rush - Tom Sawyer (not my fave Rush song, but you can't deny this is still good) Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone (the sound of convertibles putting their tops down) Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants to Rule the World (can't deny this is an 'A') === B-Tier === Tom Tom Club - Genius of Love (this is probably the highest 'B' I can give; PS Talking Heads > TTC) Blue Oyster Cult - Shooting Shark (not many good BOC 80s songs IMO, but this is one of 'em) David Bowie - Modern Love (I can see why Bowie didn't like the instrumentation on some 80s LPs) Madness - Our House (chorus is way better than the verses) Billy Ocean - Caribbean Queen (chorus is way better than the verses) Depeche Mode - People are People (music's catchy, but the lyrics are cheesy-sounding now) Hall & Oates - Out of Touch (music's alright, but the video is basura) Sabrina - All of Me (annoyingly catchy) Whitney Houston - How Will I Know (voice is classic, but those ivories are chintzy as hell) Queen/Bowie - Under Pressure (Everything's fine. Just fine.) Madonna - In the Groove (it's held up alright, methinks) Afrika Bombaataa - Planet Rock (classic beats) Howard Jones - Things Can Only Get Better (this one holds up somewhat) Transformers - You Got the Touch (Solid 'B' song. Maybe B+ with lots of explosions happening) Robbi Robb - In Time (for a Bill & Ted song, this ain't too shabby) Outfield - Your Love (the vocal hook is mostly what's memorable. Thanks, 80s Edward Norton) Scandal - The Warrior (your average 'B') Billy Joel & the Affordables - Tell Her About It (not in love with it, but I can't deny it's catchy) Starship - Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now (warning: do not f*** mannequins) Hulk Hogan - Real American (lmao) Genesis - Land of Confusion (good song, but no Genesis song should ever have drum machines) === C-Tier === Club Nouveau - Lean on Me (semi-catchy, but full disclosure: I've always hated this song) Paul Gilbert solo (technically accomplished, but not super catchy) Beastie Boys - Paul Revere (kinda plodding; 90% of BB songs before Paul's Boutique = lol tbh) Musical Youth - Pass the Dutchie (this hasn't aged well) Toni Basil - Hey Mickey (Civil War tack has aged better than those keyboards) Jimmy Buffett - Brown-Eyed Girl (the music is good, but I hate this song so much) Ca Plane Pour Moi - Plastic Bertrand (catchy, but no idea what they're saying) Pink Floyd - On the Turning Away (a little catchy; it's sad most of 80s Floyd output felt this bland) Wall of Voodoo - Mexican Radio (okay, but most songs on this album kinda suck, lol) Twisted Sister - We're Not Gonna Take It (catchy? yes. but I never liked this one) Styx - Mr. Roboto (okay song, crappy album; Runescape sucks) === D-Tier === Throbbing Gristle - Discipline (I do believe I asked for catchy songs) === F-Tier === Weird Al - Another One Rides the Bus (I invented this tier just for this song) Milli Vanilli - Girl You Know It's True (hokey rapping + didn't sing it themselves, IIRC = fail) === Disqualified Tier === D-Nice - Call Me D-Nice (decent, but it's from the 90s. Take a lap.) Anli Pollicino - You Spin Me Round (Not 90s. Take a lap.) --- Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame ...
