Terrific post---1985 was a great year for music!!
1. Bowling For Soup "1985"---haven't heard of it, but I'm not into medleys so I'd probably give it a 3/5 at the most.
4. Motley Crue "Smokin' In The Boys Room"---3
6. Power Station "Some Like It Hot"----5!!! I think this is my favorite song of 1985
8. Glenn Frey "The Heat Is On"---3
10. Madonna "Live To Tell"----3.25 Haven't heard this in awhile---want to listen to the lyrics carefully next time.
13. Talking Heads "Road To Nowhere"---5 Cool :)
14. Simple Minds "Don't You (Forget About Me)"----3
18. Julian Lennon "Too Late For Goodbyes"---4.5 Love it! He sounds so much like his father.
22. Howard Jones "Things Can Only Get Better"----3.75 Reminds of childhood
23. Heart "What About Love"----3 Not bad, but Heart has definitely done better than this.
24. Phil Collins "Sussudio"---3
25. Huey Lewis & The News "Power Of Love"---3.25 Doesn't have much of a catch or anything except it reminds me of "Back to the Future" (a good flick)
27. Murray Head "One Night In Bangkok"---4.25
29. Dead Or Alive "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)"---3.5
30. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers "Don't Come Around Here No More"---3.25 Cool ending (sounds Fleetwood Mac-ish to me)
31. Tears For Fears "Shout"---4 Is somewhat overplayed but still love it because of the lyrics/emotions they put into it
33. Harold Faltermeyer "Axel F"---3.25
34. Til Tuesday "Voices Carry"---4 Love the video
35. USA For Africa "We Are The World"---3
37. Dire Straits "Money For Nothing"----5!!! Love this one too, especially the intro.
38. a-ha "Take On Me"---4 Great song and the video especially!
39. Mr. Mister "Broken Wings"----3.75
41. Corey Hart "Never Surrender"---3 Rather flat so a neutral 3/5
44. Don Henley "All She Wants To Do Is Dance"---3
45. Starship "We Built This City"---3.75 Good cheese!
46. Billy Joel "You're Only Human (Second Wind)---Catchy beat, wonderful lyrics, good message, and brilliant video. :)

I'd never thought about that before but you're right...it does sound a lot like Fleetwood Mac's style at the end there. :)
