I heard Material Girl on the radio a few days ago, first time I've listened to that song in many years. Just.....so 80's.
so I was scrolling through the Wiki pages for the year-end Billboard top 100 charts and I find that over the last 25 years, there are roughly 9-10 songs on each list I can even remember, and around half of those I actually like. I'm assuming that for the 20 years previous to that I'll remember almost all of them and like, at least to a reasonable degree, over half of them. I may or may not make an obsessive post at some point in the future about my take on each year's list for the 80's
