Being a huge Gary Numan fan, my vote had to go to Cars.

I have all 19 of his studio albums.

This is fun getting into the 80's! These are ones I actually remember watching on MTV.

A lot of great songs from all the years, but the vote goes to.....

WHIP IT!

[OldFogey]

No top 5 this week. Only 4 I'll single out

4. Whip It -- Not my favorite Devo song, but great riff.
3. Funky Town -- irresistible. I'm not big into this style of music, but this is too catchy for words
2. Werewolves of London -- Awesomely fun song. And one of the al-time greatest hooks;. Ahh-oooo!!!

and
#1. Because the Night -- this is just an all-time great song. Springsteen's performance is musically cleaner, but Patti's is the best to me.

Who'd you vote for?

Who'd you vote for?

"Because the Night" has stood the test of time so, I'm voting for that. I SO wanted to vote for "Funkytown," though.

[BT67]

#3 - Funky Town
#2 - Werewolves of London
#1 - Because the Night
