Rush is like a sexual explosion of sound. Greatest drummer of all time and greatest bass player of all time, plus an excellent guitarist are pretty sweet right? Well, not until you add the incredible lyrics and the fact the just three guys can recreate a symphony of sound with total perfection that make professional musicians say HOLY F! As a kid I loved this song, and also the way the band spoke to non-conformist kids who weren’t ready to go full goth or full jock but just wanted to maintain some individuality in high school. This is what real talent looks like.

That’s one hell of a write up. Well done!

My favourite quote:

“Wer sich an die 80er erinnern kann, hat sie nicht miterlebt.” (it means: “Anyone who remembers the 80s didn’t live that time” and is probably in some relation to his drug use…)

I’ll be honest. I don’t think I’ve ever heard this song, but it garnered an overwhelming response on the voting pages. The only Falco I know is from Star Fox.

I love this blurb from Wikipedia on the entry for Dexys Midnight Runners:

Dexys Midnight Runners are a British pop group with soul influences, who achieved their major success in the early to mid-1980s. They are best known for their songs “Come on Eileen” and “Geno”.

Who the heck has ever heard the song “Geno”? Dexys Midnight Runners epitomized the one-hit wonder. “Come on Eileen” is a song everyone can sing along to, yet few people can name the band. In fact, VH1 honored the song with the title of the #1 One-Hit Wonder of the ’80s.

What are your favorite one-hit wonders? (For inspiration, you can read the rest of VH1’s list.)

This gorgeous 1940 classic won our hearts as young children, despite featuring classical music and no dialogue, except for a few intros (and they say kids have no attention span!). There’s not much more I can say about it. Enjoy!
