I have found particular bands but not straight-up love across styles since then. Let's see if music, collectively, returns to real music.

    Love the music of the 80s. It was a great soundtrack for my high school, college, and first couple years of medical school. At least half of these songs are in my music library and still get regular play. I still remember meeting women at parties in college and feeling the connection when I realized they were interested while dancing to Let the Music Play or Obsession. Then the slow dance that followed…feeling a little lightheaded from the combination of a potential new love, cheap beer, and the fumes from hair spray or mousse…thank you for this nostalgic trip down memory lane. (Although none of those meetings ended in marriage, most of them ended in amicable friendships and we are still connected via social media to this day.)

    I hate these countdowns when the writers aren't really sure what "one-hit wonder" means. Animotion, Murray Head, Martika, Eddie Murphy, Don Johnson (duet w/ Barbara Streisand), Quarterflash, and Cutting Crew all had at least one other top 30 hit in the US. Just because the author isn't really aware of that fact doesn't mean the performer suddenly becomes a one-hit wonder.

    When I was young (55 now), I would buy an artist's album (cassette back then) ONLY if I liked at least 3 of the songs on that album. I bought their Broadcast album and now I have 9 of their 10 songs on that album on my Spotify favorites list. It is one of my favorite all-time albums of 80's pop, second only to The Outfield (multiple albums) and Benjamin Orr's "The Lace". A truly underrated band in my book.

      Even with one hit wonders lists like this they'll lean toward the synth-pop stuff nearly every time. Off the top of my head, Cherry Pie by Warrant is one that gets overlooked.
