(Finished July 3rd, 2023) Part 2 of The Greatest Country Songs of 1984 And Counting

Hello,

Since I've been sharing countdowns from 1984 and listening to all those great songs again, I thought I'd post a series of blogs with the greatest songs of 1984. But this series of blogs will focus on the best country songs of 1984.

Notable events of 1984 include the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Steve Jobs launches the Mac in a world of primitive PCs, this commercial:


"Purple Rain"- all that incredible music and a dopey movie- Geraldine Ferraro, Tetris, "Footloose", "Sixteen Candles" (which also means the lovely Molly Ringwald, "Ghostbusters", Eddie Murphy, the first MTV Video Music Awards, "Do They Know It's Christmas" and Marvin Gaye is killed.

Best movies of 1984 include those mentioned above, "The Terminator", "Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom", "Gremlins", "Beverly Hills Cop", "The Karate Kid", "1984" (of course), "Top Secret", "The Natural" (still a great movie), "Revenge of the Nerds" and "Splash".
