Maybe it is just me getting old, but today’s music does nothing for me.
Reading Rolling Stone, and not even recognizing most songs in the Top 10, I happened to see this list, the Top 10 Singles from 25 years ago.
Here is the Top 10 from June 16, 1984
10. “Borderline” by Madonna
9. “Dancing in the Dark” by Bruce Springsteen
8. “Jump (For My Love)” by The Pointer Sisters
7. “Self Control” by Laura Branigan (NOTE: The above William Friedkin directed video was originally banned by MTV. Can still see why)
6. “The Heart of Rock & Roll” by Huey Lewis and the News
5. “Sister Christian” by Night Ranger
4. “Oh Sherrie” by Steve Perry
3. “Let’s Hear It For The Boy” by Deniece Williams
2. “The Reflex” by Duran Duran
1. “Time After Time” by Cyndi Lauper
Is it just me or do those songs still hold up?
If only for how the #1 song inspired this:
One of the greatest movie moments of the 1990’s.
Will we still be listening to Lady Gaga (whoever that is) 25 years from now?

I wish that Mira Sorvino would come back to movies. Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion may be an hour too long, but Sorvino never fails to crack me up with her smart dumb blonde voice.
Thanks for posting that, Moviezzz.
80's movies and music were/are great. I too look at a music chart today and have never heard of most of the groups/singers and stangely can't seem to find any of their "hit" songs being played on any radio station.
Jeff- That scene rocks. One of the great movie-musical moments in a film that wasn't - but should have been - a musical.
