Top 20 Songs (1984)

I think we can safely say that 1984 is one of the best years of the 1980s for mainstream music, maybe of all-time even. The stereotypical "80s" were fully set by then, but pop music was still in a refreshing state of experimentation and figuring out rather than the repetitive rut it will be caught in like later in the decade. 

1. Prince - "When the Doves Cry"
2. Billy Idol - "Eyes Without a Face"
3. Laura Branigan - "Self Control"
4. Limahl - "The NeverEnding Story"
5. Eurythmics - "Here Comes the Rain Again"

6. Bruce Springteen - "Dancing in the Dark"
7. Nena - "99 Luftballons"
8. Prince & The Revolution - "Let's Go Crazy"
9. Dead or Alive - "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)"
10. Kenny Loggins - "Footloose"

11. Rockwell - "Somebody's Watching Me" ("Thriller" is a Halloween classic, but not this?)
12. The Cars - "You Might Think"
13. Madonna - "Borderline"
14. The Cars - "Drive"
15. Cyndi Lauper - "Time After Time"

16. Ray Parker, Jr. - "Ghostbusters"
17. Corey Hart - "Sunglasses at Night" (The production is a total rip-off of "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)", but I love how overly dramatic this piece of cheese is)
18. Night Ranger - "Sister Christian"
19. Cyndi Lauper - "She Bop"
20. Scandal - "The Warrior"
