    Best 80’s Song

    What is the best song from the 1980’s in your opinion?

    Before you list 27 songs - you can ONLY name one.

    I am going Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division.

    What say you?
    What would you say.....ya do here?

    When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.

    Reading this question, the first song that came to mind for me was...

    Purple Rain by Prince
    Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. -- Carl Sagan (Pale Blue Dot)

    Tough call.

    The Soft Cell cover of "Tainted Love" immediately came to mind.

    Since I'm only allowed to mention one, that's the one I'd pick.

    But I'm open to be convinced otherwise.

    It is on the whole probable that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it. Carl Jung.

    Cutting down to one was brutal, but I'll go with Billie Jean by Michael Jackson

    Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.

    I’m going with “Where the Streets Have No Name.” Can’t go wrong with any of the first 3 tracks from The Joshua Tree.
