In an effort to stop the senseless violence and destruction of our planet, Jeebus has bestowed upon me the brave task of working out once and for all what the 10 best songs of all time are*. It is hoped that with the unveiling of this list all war will cease, the global economy can recover and teenagers can be a happy lot once more.
Have you noticed them lately? They seem to be a sad bunch what with their 'woe is me' music and their moody vampire novels. Anyway, it will all be a thing of the past once they take a butchers at these classic tunes. The fact they are all from the 80s is pure coincidence and proof that music peaked two decades ago:
(In chronological order)
1. Somebody's Baby - Jackson Browne
2. Wouldn't It Be Good - Nik Kershaw
3. Out Of Touch - Hall & Oates
4. I Can Dream About You - Dan Hartman
5. Invisible Touch - Genesis
6. Stuck With You - Huey Lewis & The News
7. Higher Love - Steve Winwood
8. Live It Up - Mental As Anything
9. Love Changes (Everything) - Climie Fisher
10. King Of Wishful Thinking - Go West

Trainspotters out there will note that 'King Of Wishful Thinking' is actually from 1990 and not from the 80s at all. It can therefore be concluded that music went downhill after the summer of 1990.
Indeed some gold in that list. But I struggle with Mental As Anything. With Beserk Warriors they were on the right track.
Hmmm there's no Billy Ocean in there. In fact there's no black people at all (let's not revisit our Hall & Oates discussion...).
Your list is ridiculous. Therefore I adore it. I'd disagree, but I don't have the balls to make one of my own and stand by it. So, this is the Gospel according to Jeebus.
Kanye would argue that I don't care about Black people which is simply not true. I do however argue that 2 blue-eyed Soul singers (Dan Hartman & Darryl Hall) equals 1 black artist. 3 if you count the dude from Go West.
And I still maintain that John Oates is a black man though he is clearly not. :-p
