Heh. Good point. I LOL'd at "YMCA" being on a list of 80s songs.

i agreed with the authors and my criteria for deciding if the song was any good were:
would you buy this album?
would you pay for this song?
would you spend the time to d/l it for free?

my answer to each was not really or no

on the other hand
i wouldnt just get up and walk out if any of them played within my hearing

Yes, I noticed that too.

Best line on the site:

BEST 80's: 1. "Cars" by Gary Numan- great synth tune, and more than a one-hit wonder. The album is very good and Gary Numan himself was a pioneer in the electronic genre.

They really have'nt got a clue. The worst record of the 80's was easily 'Shappad You Face' by Joe Dolci or 'The Birdie Song' by The Tweets or 'Agadoo' by Black Lace or............I could go on for ever.

You mean in the sense that that song isn't really from the 80s? Or in the sense that they don't seem to know very much about Gary Numan?

In the sense that Gary Numan was about as much as a pioneer in electronica as I am in nuclear physics I would imagine.

Or thats how I read it anyway.

They don't know nothing about Electronic music full stop.

Interesting. I do think that he is generally regarded as something of a pioneer though.

He made it more commercially acceptable maybe but he was'nt doing anything particularly original TBH.
