Hello? Debbie Gibson's entire recording career? Tiffany's "I Think We're Alone Now"? That song by Bobby Brown....you know what I'm talking about! How can you ignore the true soundtrack of the Eighties...the Outfield? Does "Johnny Hates Jazz" or "Cutting Crew" mean nothing to you people? Don't get me started on how Mr. Mister revolutionized the music world.....:nonono:

And you call yourselves "Eighties fans" :nuts:

Wasn't Madonna's "Vogue" released in the 90s? I was almost choosing "Who's That Girl?", but I thought "Like a Virgin" was more representative...

I see a lack of Culture Club and Michael Jackson in here :D
