― Inculcate a spirit of serfdom in children (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 22 February 2010 22:19 (fifteen years ago)

Good (if not sappy-as-hell) Top Ten. It's "Nasty" for me.

"Opportunities" >>> "Nasty" >>>> "Invisible Touch" >>> "Papa Don't Preach"

"Nasty" w/o a second thought

― soft serve space age blap (The Reverend), Monday, 22 February 2010 22:40 (fifteen years ago)

aside from "Glory of Love" and "Love Touch", this list is exactly why I liked top-40 radio so much when I was in junior high

9. Jermaine Stewart - We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off

Thanks a ton, Alfred! Just the mere mention of this song gets it stuck in my head for days.

― Wrinkles, I'll see you on the other side (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 22 February 2010 23:11 (fifteen years ago)

Andy Taylor of Duran Duran performed the solo!

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

great top 10 but it's pdp comfortably 4 me.

― or something, Sunday, 7 March 2010 17:31 (fifteen years ago)

I really love "Glory of Love" and I am voting for it. I just love to sing it, and have found myself singing it all the time for over 20 years so I gather that's worth...something. Probably Peter Gabriel and Belinda Carlisle after that.
