#Best Songs of 1980

[get-back-homeward]

…John hummed the melody of Paul’s new single, which he said he could not get out of his head. “It’s driving me crackers!”

Paul was the only musician who could scare him into writing great songs and vice versa.

From Fred Seaman’s Living On Borrowed Time (1991)

From Scotland Outside of New York [x]

Finished Reading Nowhere Man about John's diaries and am starting to understand why people like the One Sweet Dream / Another Kind of Mind podcasters get so defensive over Paul tbh

1980s music tournament - 1985

So far we've had six winners - "Under Pressure", "Holding Out for a Hero", "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", "Don't You (Forget About Me)", "Call Me", and "In the Air Tonight". For this round, I thought it'd be fun to dive in 1985.

No, I don’t mean the year. I mean the seminal classic “1985” by Bowling for Soup!

Below are references to specific songs from the song and the video. Since I only want one song per artist to make it, Blondie is not on the list. For the artists mentioned, I chose songs I haven't used before in any poll that were still big hits of theirs.

Please vote below and PLEASE reblog for others!

All previous/any future upcoming polls are under my blog tagged "80s music tournament"

I may not be too crazy about Christmas music since it gets repetitive each year and my mom constantly plays it on repeat nonstop throughout the household, but I do have a Christmas song I really like and that Christmas song happens to be Last Christmas by Wham! which was released in 1984. Hey it’s a decent Christmas song from the 80s, cut me some slack!

Paul’s best solo song. The melody and the arrangement are just so beautiful and ethereal. This is also one of the rare Paul’s solo lyrics that i like.
