That is one suck arse list. Don't know if there are even ten.

That list is gruesome.
Yep, without college radio, the 80's would have been miserable. But even the college stations started to suck before the end of the decade.

College charts saved me from that misery.

OTOH, I get surveys from XMU to rate songs. Damn I feel sorry for our youth. Most of that stuff is terrible, and almost no one plays a guitar.

The ones I could pick up did. Things did get better in the 90's with alt-rock and the return of jam bands.

Hell, nobody plays anything. Even the singers can't sing without Autotune. That's my main get-off-my-lawn gripe with music nowadays. I want to hear musicianship. I want to hear people do stuff with musical instruments that I can't do. But technology has made it so that anyone can create music (for a sufficiently small value of "music").

Interesting to see the last gasp of the 70's surrendering to what would become the classic sound of the 80's.

Man, so many elementary school memories these songs trigger.

That is a badass list.
I found two:
Every Little Thing
Let it Whip (fraternity party song extraordinaire)
maybe Kim Wilde, maybe the GoGos

The 1983 one is much better.

Heat of the Moment - but that's just a coincidence - I've heard various things from a latitude (meaning location) to 82 being the number of groupies Wetton had banged to that point in the tour where he wrote the lyrics.
Regardless, it wasn't lost on the band that 1982 was, in fact, the year the song came out. So, in later years, Wetton would change the number "82" to the current year at times when they would perform the song live, sort of retconning the perhaps "cleaner" explanation of the song into canon.
6/8 time, which is odd and Steve Howe had to really be convinced to play something quite that pop-oriented. Carl Palmer likes to point out that the song never really progresses - it just starts and stops, but that it somehow connected with the audience all the same.
Great, great song from a better, vanished time.
ETA: Fun fact, Geoff Downes, the cowriter of Heat of the Moment, along with American Billy Sherwood form 40% and 50% of the current lineups of Yes and Asia, respectively.

One of my top 10 favorite concerts. They absolutely killed it at Tipitina's.

UGA grad and fan. In fact, I became familiar of many of those songs in Athens in bars about 20 years after they came out.

I stopped counting at 10, but fully admit most of them are just the nostalgia that goes with them.
But man, Love Will Turn You Around by Kenny Rogers is a fantastic song. I don't care what anyone else says. Probably my favorite song on that list.
