Most Timeless Songs of the 80's
I found a site today that had an analysis of the most "timeless" songs from each decade from the 1950's through the 2000's based on the number of Spotify plays in 2014. It was kind of a fascinating way of looking at songs' popularity in terms of how they hold up, so I thought I'd attempt to channel my inner Rain Man and play a game with it. We'll see how this goes.

So, Family Feud rules (loosely) to guess the top 50 list from the 80's. Points are awarded from 50 for the most popular to 1 for the the 50th-most-popular. First person to mention a song gets the points, and I'll update it as often as I can.

EDIT: Game is now over! But here's the list. Stay tuned for the 90's version another day.

The List:
Code:
1. Don't Stop Believin'*— Journey, 1981 (BDj23)
2. Billie Jean*— Michael Jackson, 1983 (Tribal Warfare)
3. Eye Of The Tiger*— Survivor, 1982 (TimBone)
4. Fast Car*— Tracy Chapman, 1988 (jimidollar)

9. Beat It*— Michael Jackson, 1983 (cosmo20002)
10. Thriller*— Michael Jackson, 1984 (BDj23)
11. Every Breath You Take*— Police The, 1983 (cosmo20002)
12. Man In The Mirror*— Michael Jackson, 1988 (Dallas Chief)
13. Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)*— Eurythmics, 1983 (TimBone)
14. Another One Bites The Dust*— Queen, 1980 (cosmo20002)
15. Welcome To The Jungle*— Guns N' Roses, 1988 (Dallas Chief)
16. Paradise City*— Guns N' Roses, 1989 (Dallas Chief)

see I was late to the party - I'd have taken this one running away - feel lucky I just saw this thread, that's all I'm saying.

Yeah, I blast tracy chapman from my 6x9 jensens in my iroc z28 all the time.

Timeless means the opposite of dated, which is what a lot of these songs are.

The funny thing to me is that, if you'd asked me before this thread, I would have told you that song was released in the past 10 years. It wasn't played much in the 90's to my recollection, but resurfaced in pop culture a few years ago. I honestly had no idea that it was an old song.

I don't think male listeners are the ones keeping that one near the top of the list.
