(Finished October 10th, 2020) B101's Top 500 Songs of the 80s, Part 11: Songs 303-286

Hello,

Because I haven't taken on enough projects already I decided I'd start yet one more project. I Googled The Top Songs of the 80s and found a Billboard list, but I didn't want to pay for that. I'm sure that Billboard would call that proprietary information. Next I thought I could do my Top 100 80s songs on my iTunes, but that ended up being too much work. I continued Googling and stumbled across this B101 countdown- they're an 80s and More station out of Providence. Since I found this easily and there's no financial strings attached I'm hoping this isn't proprietary information. Thanks to B101.

303) Information Society "What's On Your Mind (Pure Energy)":

302) Steve Winwood "Higher Love":

I love the beginning of this song so much!! 301) Van Halen "Why Can't This Be Love":

300) Murray Head "One Night In Bangkok":

299) Billy Joel "Tell Her About It":

298) Naked Eyes "Promises Promises":

297) Debbie Gibson "Only In My Dreams":

296) Huey Lewis & The News "Do You Believe In Love":

295) The Go-Go's "Vacation":

294) The B-52's "Roam":

293) The Beach Boys "Kokomo":

292) Cher "I Found Someone":

(Started October 7th, 2020) Goodbye Eddie Van Halen, Part 2

Hello,

Goodbye Eddie Van Halen, thanks for 65 years of memories!! I know you will see a lot of similar blogs to this one. No doubt that Eddie Van Halen was one of the greatest guitarists of all-time and he did a lot of good work with Van Halen. However since many other people will be highlighting his work with Van Halen I'm going to focus on his music outside of Van Halen. But of course I'll include a few classic Van Halen songs to this blog.

For this second blog I actually listened to "Balance" and part of "Van Halen 3" to see if they had anything worthy in this tribute to Eddie Van Halen.
