Obivously, the 5's are my faves, while the 4's are my near faves, the 3's are songs I like but b/c I heard them so much, they dropped in favor, the 2's are okay, but not my cup of tea.

I like Whip It... When my friends and I listened to it as kids, we would try to avoid stepping on cracks on the sidewalk... I still catch myself doing it.

Is that were that line came from? In "The Land Before Time", which I recently found was 80s, they talk of that.  Was it common in the 80s?  I found myself doing that in stores and malls after seeing LBT.

I don't really know if that's where it started.. I just remember if one of us would step on a crack the rest of us would be like "oooohh you just broke your mama's back" so we all got in the habit of stepping over all the cracks.  And the sidewalks of NYC had alot of cracks.

Really?  Are We not men? I've heard some stuff off there and it appeals to me least.  Too 70s sounding.

EArly 80's hits are my favourite and I love 39 of these songs, so they all get a 5

#40 Candy Girl by New Edition ... I never really liked that song, but I can see how it became a hit, so I give it a 4
