Fuck me that song and similar, along with Reagan, Thatcher and hair metal are probably the worst things about the 80s.BitterTom wrote: ↑20 Feb 2020, 7:06pmAn 80s classic is an 80s classic.

Yeah its jessies girl for me too, absolute dirge with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Eye of tiger would vie with Too Shy for second worst but just shades it on account of rocky connection.Heston wrote: ↑20 Feb 2020, 7:03pmJessie's Girl for me.

Take On Me is decent enough. A pretty great melody which is what good pop music is all about for me. That keyboard hook is one of the catchiest things ever written.BitterTom wrote: ↑20 Feb 2020, 7:06pmAn 80s classic is an 80s classic.

Surprised too for the lack of recognition for GYBR as one of Eltons great timeless classics. Gave the album a spin today just to remind myself how brilliant it is. Never disappoints.

Actually to be fair sounds like he isn’t well at all don’t think that trip to the Oscars did him any favours.

Aren't the former songs Redneck anthems and the latter two carefully crafted timeless classics?
