Subject: RT:  1984 Songs, Pt. 1

Written By: lebeiw15 on 11/06/03 at 05:45 p.m.

I know Criz already did yearly ratings for the 80s, but I think there will be many different songs on mine (especially since a lot of Americans hadn't heard a lot of songs on her list).  :)

NOTE--please don't ask me questions or correct me about
"this song is actually from 19__", stuff like that.  I am just copying and pasting these from a different site.  There will be 100 songs total for each year, 25 per list.  Have fun and happy rating.  ;D

A lot of these I did rate the first time (thread's still around somewhere!), so rather than repeat myself, I'll just rate the ones I didn't do on Round 1...

1. Prince - When Doves Cry 3, probably about his best...
6. Lionel Richie - Hello 3, rather sickly, and not helped by 'that' video...
7. Yes - Owner Of A Lonely Heart 3, different image and sound, this is hardly vintage Yes, and it hasn't aged well...
10. Ray Parker Jr. - Ghostbusters 4, still good...
11. Stevie Wonder - I Just Called To Say I Love You 1, Yeuch! A huge pile of slop if ever there was one...
12. Hall & Oates - Out Of Touch 3, not their best, but okay...
14. Chaka Khan - I Feel For You 3, much better when she was with Rufus...this has dated badly...
15. John Waite - Missing You 4, plodding big ballad...fine song...
16. Deniece Williams - Let's Hear It For The Boy 3, a bit twee and cutesy overall, but listenable without too much pain...
19. Bruce Springsteen - Dancing In The Dark 3, average Brucie number...
20. Caribbean Queen - Billy Ocean 3, now, where have I heard that bass riff? Ho-hum plodder, was released about three times with different titles before hitting...
21. Romantics - Talking In Your Sleep 4, strikingly good song...this version stiffed here, but the ever-resourceful Bucks Fizz(!) hit with it...
22. Chicago - Hard Habit To Break 3, not one of their better ones...
23. Prince & The Revolution - Let's Go Crazy 2, more noise than anything else...
25. Wild Boys - Duran Duran 3, more video than anything else...
