Top 100 Songs: 1980-1989
The 1980s spawned a few artists who are still with us: U2, Bruce Springsteen, and – the biggest pop icon of modern times — Madonna, whose Like A Virgin seemed to own the mid ’80s. Yet much of the decade’s music had all the staying power of low-cal cotton candy: Wham!, Lionel Richie, Mr. Mister. The best example of the overproduced nothingness of the ’80s is Milli Vanilli, whose vapidness – shockingly – actually earned a Grammy (what were they thinking?). Then it was discovered that the duo never sang on their album. It was all one big lip sync.
