Comment:

Just can't bear to quit basking in the neon glow that was the '80s? Neither could we, so we're back with a [i]third[/i] playlist full of favorites. Vernon Reid forges a Marshall-stack-searing bond between funk and metal with his swooning, shredding, [i]screaming[/i] six-string in Living Colour's "Cult of Personality," reclaiming hard rock's black heritage unlike any guitarist since Hendrix. Blue-eyed U.K. soulster Rick Astley shimmies his way to the top of the charts with "Never Gonna Give You Up," a sugary slice of synth-slathered pop that spawned the Internet phenomenon of "Rickrolling," in which unwitting users are duped into clicking on a link that takes them to the song's video. And with a "big, nasty redhead at my side," Randy Newman rolls out a rollicking, rocking celebration of all the myriad wonders of SoCal living, from Skid Row's "bums" to Victory Boulevard's asphalt-paved vistas, in "I Love L.A." But there's way more than just L.A. to love; from "I Think We're Alone Now" to "Sunglasses At Night," we've brought you all the hits that kept us glued to the radio dial — and wanting our MTV — for an entire decade.
