So many goodies in one list!

[leonagwen]

That's an amazing top 100.

[Michael1973]

I never cared much for this list. A good number of top ten songs from 1985 didn't make the list, while several songs that didn't crack the top ten, along with several others that were also on the 1984 list, are present.

One of the best year-end charts of all time
