I'm listening to "Ravishing" by Bonnie Tyler. It's not the best, but I like it a lot more than I should. Did you know the instrumental of it was Hulk Hogan's original theme song?

How did "Holiday" by Madonna turn up at least twice but "Into the Groove" didn't?

As someone who picked Holiday, it would be 1. Holiday 2. Dress You Up 3. Into the Groove for top Madonna songs

I picked Ray of Light as one of my top 5 90's songs. It'd be tough to mess up William Orbit and Madonna together.

Its hard to choose one but I think I have narrowed it down to a few at least.

Prince "1999"
Madge "Into the Groove"
The "Outfield Your Love"
Carly Raye Jepson or however the fuck you spell her one hit wonder name. "Call Me Maybe"

It was okay, there was more interesting dance music happening at the time.

excellent choice.

cymbal start with ominous keyboard in the right key and time. expecting to hear something painful and it's all about a kid who's too shy to talk.

great music, the lyrics got better on the next album.

My Sharona is probably the winner.

Miley Party In the USA was a solid nomination. That really is a toe tapper.

I agree on Brandy. I'd also throw "Cruel to be Kind" into the mix.

I lean towards mostly metal, punk, and classic rock, but for some reason...I've always liked most of Madonna and Lady Gaga's music. Add Morrissey and the Go-go's to that as well.
Madonna
1. Dress You Up
2. Ray Of Light
3. Open Your Heart
4. La Isla Bonita
5. Take A Bow

Lady Gaga
1. Edge of Glory
2. Paparazzi
3. Alejandro
4. Poker Face
5. You and I
5. Edge Of Glory

This thread isn't about the greatest pop song only played on Oldies stations.

The answer is "Uptown Funk".

Whatever that Outkast hit song is about shaking a Polaroid or the Fresh Prince/Carlton song all the mils dance to as soon as it comes on.
