1980 - Crazy Little Thing Called Love - Queen
This wasn't my favorite song of theirs, but I owned The Game and loved most of the songs on it
1981 - I Love A Rainy Night - Eddie Rabbitt
I remember being crazy about this song. Altho it embarasses me a bit now, I'll still sing along with it if I happen to hear it.
1982 - Centerfold - J. Geils Band
VERY addictive song, I always thought. One of my friends in jr. high was named Angel, so we all got a laugh out of it.
1983 - Billie Jean - Michael Jackson
I suppose I liked it at first, but I break out into hives if I see this video today.
1984 - Jump - Van Halen
Good song -- Van Halen had some great stuff, but I'm a bigger fan of Van Hagar personally.
1985 - Can't Fight This Feeling - REO Speedwagon
Good song, but was run into the ground. I love REO tho, I've seen them live several times
1986 - Sara - Starship
I always thought this song had something haunting about it...always made me kinda sad, but I liked it
1987 - Jacob's Ladder - Huey Lewis & The News
I got so SICK of Huey, but this was one of their best songs
1988 - Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley
I guess for 'pure pop', this song was ok, but I never much cared for Rick Astley
1989 - Lost In Your Eyes - Debbie Gibson
I dont know very many females who were teenagers at the time who couldnt identify with this one somehow. I did anyways :)

I couldn't agree more about it being addictive! It's one of those songs that I never get tired of...

I also thought that this wasn't one of their better efforts. Most of their other songs were so much better!
You lucky duck for getting to see them in concert! :( I'd die to see a good group perform!
Subject: Re: #1 On This Day Back In...
All of those songs bring back a memory or two (or three): some good, some bad! :)

1980 - Crazy Little Thing Called Love - Queen
A tight, jazzy little number that I never truly appreciated until years after it's release. One of my faves from Queen.
1981 - I Love A Rainy Night - Eddie Rabbitt
Remember the song, not a fan of Eddie Rabbitt. Reminds me of living in southern Illinois. Yup. Eddie Rabbitt. Big in So. Ill. Really big...
1982 - Centerfold - J. Geils Band
Reminds me of my girlfriend and I smooching in the back of the bus on the way home from the away game...always liked away games...
1983 - Billie Jean - Michael Jackson
Funky, funky, funky...
1984 - Jump - Van Halen
As much as I dig Van Halen, I always thought this song was overrated.
1985 - Can't Fight This Feeling - REO Speedwagon
Nice love song, but I'm not picking-up any vibes...
1986 - Sara - Starship
Another nice love song.
1987 - Jacob's Ladder - Huey Lewis & The News
Dang! To tell the truth, I can't remember how this song goes... :-1988 - Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley
Never cared for it.
1989 - Lost In Your Eyes - Debbie Gibson
Nice love song...hmm, I could've swore I downloaded that one awhile back...

I was always surprised that this song had made it to #1 instead of his other, more popular songs! I can understand you not remembering it, Dave. Sometimes I also have trouble with it. ;)
