Good countdown except for NKOTB having 3 songs in it thanks to Payola. I never liked them much at all.
Bad English makes me want to vomit. I was so hoping for something better. That foux Journey crap really pissed me off (sorry for ranting).
Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain, & John Wait could not have come up with some of the more disappointing music, from a band I had high expectations from.
I wasn't long after that I realized that everything Cain touches turns to crap.

Sherbet is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
Which Milli Vannilli was this? The one before they got caught cheating or after?
Looking at the countdown I see maybe 4 songs which I don't mind. The rest are not to my liking. Really dislike late 80s countdowns. It was before alternative music was big but rap and boy bands and sick pop tunes ruled .

I like that one.
My favorite this week is probably Love Song by the Cure.
This was before they were caught cheating. They were caught in November of 1990 and publicly admitted that month. I remember it because on one of the local newscasts in Minneapolis the anchor said that Mili Vannilli was and I quote "Phony Baloney". It happened the date that I got home for Thanksgiving of my freshman year in college. And it was a Tuesday.
I always thought they should have gave the Grammy to the studio performer who recorded the vocals on their album.. It really is a sad story since Rob Pilatus, aka Milli overdosed on drugs.
Now that's quality reporting Paulson.
I remember it because it was on the 6 PM news on WCCO out of Minneapolis and I was at home as I had just arrived home that day for fall break-thanksgiving my freshman year of college
