(Started, May 14th, 2022) Part 4 of The 102 Best Songs of the 80s (Not Quite As Rough Draft)

Hello,

The way this is going to go is I'm going to post the Top 102 greatest 80s songs in order of the way I thought of them. Once I hit 102 songs I'll and look at the 100 listed songs and see if there are any other songs that the 103rd song might be better than. If so I'll replace the previously listed song. That way I can stay at 102 songs and have truly the 102 greatest 80s songs of all-time. Well at least that's the fantasy and dream. This isn't a ranking by best songs, that's just too much work. As best as I can these are the 102 greatest 80s songs.

I may or may not post other great 80s songs by each band listed. Some of these musicians have more than just one of the Top 102 80s songs of all-time. As all of these artists are so much more than one of the 100 greatest songs of the 80s.

Why yes I do love 80s Madonna. And over 101 million YouTube viewers love this video. I don't know that any other musician had a better 80s than Madonna. 13) Madonna "Like A Virgin":

"Causing A Commotion":

"Into The Groove":

One of the dozens of songs that are so close to qualifying for the The 102 Best Songs of The 80s.
