1984 was a stellar year for jams. Those of us who were there remember. This YouTube list does a dogshit job of capturing it. While it manages to chronicle a few gems, (Van Halen-Jump & The Smiths-How Soon is Now, Madonna-Like A Virgin) conspicuously MIA from this top 40 drivel flufferfest are:

Prince-Purple Rain & When Doves Cry Van Halen-Hot For Teacher Springsteen-Born in the USA U2-Pride In The Name of Love Motley Crue-Looks That Kill Metallica-For Whom The Bell Tolls Sade-Smooth Operator IronMaiden-Aces High Scorpians-Rock You like A Hurricane SRV-Couldn't Stand The Weather Depeche Mode-People Are People Echo&The Bunny Men-Killing Moon Dio-The Last In Line Hall&Oates-Out Of Touch George Michael-Careless Whisper Judas Priest-Jaw Breaker Tina Turner-What's Love Got To Do With It Ratt-Round and Round FrankieGoesToHollywood-Relax Kenny Loggins-Footloose Chaka Kahn-I Feel For You Bowie-Blue Jean DeadOrAlive-You Spin Me Right Round Los Lobos-Will The Wolf Survive Cyndie Lauper-Girls Just Wanna Have Fun REM-Dont Go Back To Rockville Bananarama-Cruel Summer Wang Chung-DanceHallDays Bon Jovi-Runaway Tears For Fears-Shout And mother fuckin' White Snake- Slide It In.

All recorded without Auto Tune nor Quantized Beats.

It was one helluva summer.

All of this garbage still plays all over the place. It's like the 80s never went away.
