This demonstrates the abject paucity of musical talent in ‘80’s music.
Embarrassing
I vote for Rush.
Queen was pretty good, but you just can’t compete with the drumming of Neil Peart.
“Centerfold”
Abstain
I have to agree. Sheesh, if this is the best of the 80’s then it just reaffirms the amazing awesomeness of 60’s music. Even though I happen to like a lot of 80s stuff, these four are pure barf-making.
Yeah right now I’m listening to Hot Tuna live at Carnegie Hall on Youtube.
Just a little better than Tears for Fears.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!

“Centerfold”? That song is flat-out ANNOYING. I couldn’t stand it then and still don’t now. No wonder they were one hit wonders if you can even call that song a ‘hit’.
“Shout” and “Head Over Heels” are much better songs by Tears For Fears IMO. “Everybody Wants to....” is dull dull dull.
“Crazy Little Thing...” isn’t my favorite Queen song. Better stuff in the ‘70’s.
INXS? Are you serious?
