Just What Is A Hit?: The Fifteen Best Two Hit Titans of the 80s Part 4: #4 & #3 (Finished August 20th, 2016)

Hello,

We've reached the top 4 in this blog series. Originally Simply Red was #2 on my rankings. Their hits are "Holding Back The Years" and "If You Don't Know Me By Now". But besides those two songs, they have 7 other great songs. Simply Red finishes at #4. Here are a few of their songs, I'll eventually add all of them to this blog.

"Money's Too Tight (To Mention):


"For Your Babies":


"Something Got Me Started":


"The Right Thing":


It's Only Love":


"If You Don't Me By Now":



"Stars":



"Heaven":



Without a doubt, their best song. This aching, melancholy classic. "Holding Back The Years":



#3) Originally The Power Station was #12 on my list, but then I listened to their amazing first CD. I pretty much only knew that CD for "Some Like It Hot" and "Get It On (Bang A Gong) which are their two "real" hits. Both songs reached the Top Ten. But besides those two great songs, they also have six other great songs.

"Some Like It Hot":



"Murderess":



"Communication":



"Get It On (Bang A Gong)":



"Go To Zero":



"Harvest For The World":



"Still In Your Heart":



Essentially a reworking of "Some Like It Hot", but I still like "The Heat Is On":
