My Top 100 Singles of the 1980's (2014 Redone Edition)

[Deleted]

Here exclusively for the Steve Pulaski proboards message board... my 2014 re-do of my Mubi list. Yes, I went and changed everything up A-GAIN... Turns out, this is pretty hard. That is, to stand and say that the 2012 list I did was truly how I feel today. This list is much more accurate to what I think now.

Anyway, here it is:




100. Prince - 1999
