Crappy music abounds
in waste-filled 1985

a "Neat Thing To Do" this year. The
year's worst cover was Molly Hatchet's
marathon massacre of "Freebird,"
which, praised be, never became a hit.
This song is a close second.
"Sussudio," Phil Collins Col
lins is talented enough to write a mega
hit without even trying, so he doesn't

even try. This song is the best example
of Collins' formula: 1) Find a beat. 2)
Get a hook. 3) Plug in any words that
fit.
O "Separate Lives," Phil Collins
and Marilyn Martin The single big
gest trend in top-40 hits this year was
whining. This song is by far the whiniest.
O "Miami Vice Theme," Jan Hammer
This song has no melody, no har-
O "Bang A Gong (Get It On)," mony, no hook, no words. Why bother?
Power Station Ruining classics was
1985 was a good year for bad music.
The charts abounded with various
sorts of waste matter. It was a tough
decision, but here are my picks for the
worst songs of '85. I've listed them
alphabetically since, like a pretty good
rocker once said, "Bad is bad."

"Boy In The Box," Corey Hart
More whining. Also, anyone who rhymes
"box" and "socks" in this decade
deserves whatever he gets. Fabian did
25 years ago everything Corey Hart's
doing now and combed his hair.
"Saving All My Love For You,"
Whitney Houston - Houston is a
remarkably talented person who prob
ably has a brilliant career ahead of her.
But this song is tedious, strident,
depressing, (guess what) whiny and
features the most offensively sexist
pop lyric since "You're Having My
Baby."
"Party All The Time," Eddie
Murphy I'd like to know who told
Eddie Murphy he could sing.
"We Built This City," Starship
This is the single most annoying
song of the year, possibly the decade.
"Burning Heart," Survivor Kind
ly keep your propaganda off my radio.
"Seems like freedom's up against the
ropes." What kind of lyrics are those?
Just to prove I'm human, here are my
five biggest guilty pleasures of the year,
those songs that I really shouldn't
enjoy as much as I do, offered here
without explanation or apology.
1. A ha - "Take On Me"
2. David Bowie and Mick Jagger
"Dancing In The Streets"
3. Heart "What About Love" and
"Never"
4. The Pointer Sisters everything
they do
5. Twisted Sister "Leader Of The
Pack"
