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

    I have all 19 of his studio albums.
    4 singles - 2 I'll get (Queensryche and one Staind).

    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!

    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.

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