Crazy for You is about one of the only Madonna songs I really liked for some reason. Some of the rest were okay, but just.

And She Was
One Night in Bangkok
Voices Carry
Money for Nothing
Don't You (Forget About Me)
Take On Me
Shout
Careless Whispers
Raspberry Beret
Don't Come Around Here No More

My Top 10 from Billboard charts... roughly in order.

There are others that never charted, but they will take more thinking.

Money for Nothing's so good and yet that one word I have a hard time with, even though I know he's playing a bigot. Gotta remember it's not any different than what Ice Cube and Johnny Cash and Eastwood and Tarantino does with violence. It's storytelling.

But "Why Worry" is solid!

Surprised by three mentions so far of "One Night in Bangkok"! Love for "Take On Me" less surprising, probably a shoo-in to the next phase of this (whatever that may be).

Been trying to figure my picks. I really may make a full-throated endorsement of "Walking on Sunshine," one of those songs that feels like it's always existed.

I'm also trying to figure out how to narrow this down. My thought is to pick about 20, and then have a guest and me narrow those songs down to 5 new nominees, and then pick our favorite, but post a poll of those 5 afterwards to see what the public thinks.

But, THE MUSIC! It was also the time period when I actually co-wrote the only song I ever wrote... I wish I had the music to it instead of just having it in my memory. (I'm not sure who has it or if it's still written down.)

As to favorites...

From the "Hits" and ones on the "Lists":
Money for Nothing - this has to top my list. Brothers in Arms was in my 5-disc changer along with 3 other Dire Straits albums and Steely Dan's greatest hits for most of Grad School. I'd get home from school, poor a scotch, turn out the lights, and put that set of depressing shit on shuffle. Yeah... there's probably a reason I didn't finish grad school, eh?
Take On Me - I just love this song!
One Night In Bangkok - I am a fan of the Musical Chess, though I like a strange combination of the songs from the original and the US bastardization.
Raspberry Beret - just a great song

Songs that are less known:
Why Worry - Dire Straits from Brothers in Arms - This song has always been my favorite song on the album. It is just achingly beautiful and it would have to be my absolute favorite song from 1985. And Mark Knopfler actually almost SINGS on it!
