I have probably mentioned it before, but my first ever album was the original Ghostbusters soundtrack. It was cool, but not monumental. Two albums I acquired in the years of 1986-1988 were very, very influential on me. One was INXS Kick, the other AC/DC Who Made Who.
So in honour of that, I am going to make this iteration of the Top 40 hunt an all-80's version. Yeah, yeah I know the previous INXS version was also largely all-80's, but at least this time I'll look elsewhere. Anyone who doesn't think the 80's were a HUGE decade for music, well you probably won't like the look of my finished Top 40 when it's done. Ok, here we go. Gonna go to YouTube, find an 80's playlist, and hit it baby.
Oh yeah, I'm also going to put some effort into my previous tracks, and rank what's already there as best I can. We already have 40, so hopefully it won't be that hard to fit the new tracks in as we go through them.
1) Sweet Dreams - Eurhythmics (1983)
2) The Final Countdown - Europe (1986)
3) The Best Thing - Boom Crash Opera (1989)
4) Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns 'N' Roses (1987)
5) Run To Paradise - The Choirboys (1988)
6) A-Ha - Take On Me (1985)
7) Another Day In Paradise - Phil Collins (1989)
8) Uptown Girl - Billy Joel (1983)
9) Down Under - Men At Work (1980)
10) Who Made Who - AC/DC (1986)
Wow, some absolute crackers on that list. What I need to do now is incorporate them into my existing list and produce the current Top 40 as it stands. Watch this space....
