Combined 100 from 81 and 82 *top song* Dire Straits - Romeo and Juliet (1 Viewer)

I haven’t slept since. Actually I don’t remember saying that, which is another symptom of getting old. 

Does sound like it was influenced a bit by “Young Lust” 

For me, it's the siren sound that does it.

Trying to make time for my best also-rans. I'll highlight one that wasn't only omitted, but could very well rank up there among as the best of 1981. 

Red Rider - Lunatic Fringe

Top 10 for me. Always reminds me of Vision Quest.

I took this in Genrepalooza 4 (long after you dropped out.)

I’m amazed that you guys are still going strong.

Unless I missed it, Steve Miller's biggest hit also didn't make either Andy or Bracie's list.

I can't stand it, maybe they can't either?

We keep coming up with new categories, so we keep going with picks.

Just throwing out a few other random omissions from 1981/1982 here and there. Sticking with artists that were not already part of any of the three countdowns.

The Producers - "What's He Got" (1981)

"She Sheila" from 1982 could also have applied.

The Members - "Working Girl" (1981)

The Members - "Working Girl" (1981)

Also Radio (1982)

I have no idea what the plot of that video is supposed to be. I don't think they did either. But it looks like they had a really good time shooting it.

The Members and Madness were two bands that always seemed to enjoy themselves in their videos.

Not the biggest fan on the words, but as a guitar player Romeo and Juliet is fun to play. Though it would probably take me some time to get it back because there is some awkward counter-muscle memory stuff going on there.
