As I was embarking upon an editing marathon yesterday, just me, layouts, and Napster, I realized once again that the 1980s, which just happens to be the decade in which I was a teen, had the best music of all time. Funny how that works.
I thought it would be fun (and by "fun" I mean "dull") to have these songs vie against one another for my attention. Tough choices have to be made here. Choose the better song from each pairing below, and see how many you can get right! Oh, and impeach Bush.
"West End Girls" or "What Have I Done To Deserve This?"
"Let Me Go" or "Love Plus One"
"Radio Free Europe" or "New Year's Day"
"Perfect Kiss" or "People Are People"
"Tainted Love" or "Hungry Like The Wolf"
"Dance Hall Days" or "Alive And Kicking"
"Alive and Kicking" or "Change"
"Only You" or "Glittering Prize"
"Europa and the Pirate Twins" or "She Blinded Me With Science"
"Love My Way" or "I Melt With You"
"Rock The Kasbah" or "Der Kommissar"
"Don't You Want Me?" or "Look of Love"
"Sledgehammer" or "Tenderness"
"When Doves Cry" or "How Soon Is Now?"
"The Walk" or "The Cutter"

Anyone who would choose "She Blinded Me with Science" over "Europa and the Pirate Twins" deserves a horrible death.

Josh, if you really are getting an 80's kick, you should track down SingStar 80's for PlayStation 2. It is the fourth game in the SingStar range and has an awesome songlist of all 80's music that you can sing along to and find out just how bad you are at karaoke.
Also, Buzz for PlayStation 2 is an awesome music trivia game that allows you play in a gameshow environment complete with buzzer controllers and can restrict the questions to older songs.
Oh wait - you Yankees don't get awesomeness like that do you? SCEA thinks that Americans aren't interested in music games while they sell like hotcakes everywhere else in the world.
