What is your favorite song from this very limited 1985 list?

[SomeBadDrummer]

The Sting track. I played bass back in 85 during a summer residency in a small seaside hotel and it always got the floor packed.

Was that Panama City?

yeah....and I was an idiot teenage metal head at the time. There was NO WAY I was going to go a Police concert full of "normies" and threaten my Metal Cred (even though i secretly listened to and loved them back then...and Duran Duran. But I would have got my butt kicked if that became public knowledge)

Pu..y!! Although I get what you say, image was everything lol. As someone famous once said “Youth is wasted on the young”

In 1985, I would have said Sting. I remember buying the album and listening to endlessly.

All these years later, it's a tough choice between Everybody wants to rule the world- Tears for Fears and Don’t come around here no more- Tom Petty.

I think I'd have to go with EveryBody Wants to the Rule the World.

I'm a bigger fan of Tom Petty than Tears For Fears, but if I disregard the whole catalog and just go song to song, Tears for Fears wins this round.

And the winner is..................

Tears For Fears

with Sting and Tom Petty tying for second.

apparently what was true in 1985 is still true today...Everybody wants to rule the world

Congrats on a very popular and well received poll mate!

I was almost to tears until your post... thanks for the support!!!
Eventually I might put together a poll that garners more than a dozen votes haha. But at least no one hijacked this one (undoubtedly due to the stern warning issued from the outset
