Round 3 voting ended tonight, but we have a tie of 9-to-9 for these songs!

PLEASE cast a vote for either of these tunes; I will put the deadline as 6:00 pm Eastern TOMORROW, MONDAY Feb 16. (BTW, you are entitled to change your mind!)

Then we will (hopefully) continue our play-offs for the best song of the '80s! Down to the Sweet 16 with the Great 8 pairs next!

I loved the 80’s! My pick would be Every Breath You Take... the original creepy, stalker song!

“Every Breath You Take” should be disqualified as the tune is an obvious ripoff of Leo Sayer’s “I Love You More Than I Can Say”. If we want to stick with 83, throw in “Flashdance” as. Replacement.

After watching a brief part of this year’s Grammy Awards, all I can say is the music of the early 80’s is sheer genius by comparison.
