You will notice that this first list is actually 11 songs starting with song number 101. Why is there a song 101 on a top 100 list? Because no 80's list of music can truly exist without the granddaddy of all 80's songs. It's the one song that defined a decade of music and although it's been played more than most songs, it deserves a place at the head of my 80's music table.
The first thing you'll notice about this starting list is that I've decided to post the first 11 songs without any additional commentary. The next 90 songs, however, will have pertinent info about the reason it was chosen, or just some fact about the band or my experience related to the song. To me it's important to say something, especially as the list gets closer to my top choice. Feel free to skip over my comments, because I promise you they will get longer and longer as we approach number 1 on the list.
