80’s music is like watching old reruns of Hill Street Blues. The memory is better than the reality.

This was based on top of the charts lists which I think are always more about catching lightning in a bottle than about substance.

Ugh, what a lousy set of choices, but anything is better than that horrific Tears for Fears song. Centerfold was at least rock n roll and palatable. My vote goes to J. Geils Band: Centerfold.
