When I write up a blog for the next band in my 80's countdown blog series, I usually listen to all of a bands CDs from the 70's, 80's and early 90's. I write down each song and rank them as I listen to those CDs. Then I go back and rank all the songs I deemed good enough. According to that process with Bananarama they are a bit too high on my rankings. They have at least 3 great songs, but they have surprisingly few good songs. I put 14 songs on this list, but honestly that's a bit generous.
The bikini tops are embarrassingly tacky. 14) "Preacher Man":
13) "True Confessions":
12) "A Trick of The Night":
11) "He Was Really Sayin' Something":
10) "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye":
9) "Long Train Running":
8) "Love In The First Degree":
7) "Nathan Jones":
6) "Robert Deniro's Waiting":
5) "Shy Boy":
4) "I Can't Help It":
"I Can't Help It" (12" Inch Mix):
Now here's the three songs everyone thinks of when they think of Bananarama. 3) "I Heard A Rumor":
2) "Cruel Summer":
1) "Venus":
