Posted on 18 January, 2017 by Lyzette

100. “Time is Time” – Andy Gibb: Boy, the early 80s sure weren’t kind to Andy Gibb, as this continues the yet another sub-par single from him. It is painfully obvious that he is trying desperately to break away from the … Continue reading →

Billboard’s Hot 100 of 1980

Posted on 18 November, 2016 by Lyzette

100. “Refugee” – Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: Yes! Hello 80s! And what better way to kick off the decade than with a band I’ve always considered quintessential to the 80s. After some years of a few mildly successful singles, 1980 … Continue reading →

Billboard’s Hot 100 of 1979

Posted on 20 September, 2016 by Lyzette

100. “Strange Way” – Firefall: Kicking off this list is an interesting, dark-sounding radio-friendly rock hit. Truthfully, I can hear Chicago’s influences on this track from a mile away, especially with that uptempo’d salsa breakdown before the final chorus. It’s an … Continue reading →
