At last, welcome to the final Lost Hits rankdown of the 1980s! This rankdown is the counterpart to the first extras rankdown that I recently hosted. This list is made up of the other 50 songs from the 1980s that I still wanted to feature in Lost Hits. If you've participated in any other rankdowns you know how these work. Just listen to all of the songs and rank them from 1 (best) to 50 (worst) based on your personal preference. When ranking the songs, if there is another version/remix/edit that you prefer other than the one in the Spotify playlist, feel free to rank that version. PM me your list, and I will compile everyone's rankings and present the results. The due date is set for Sunday, November 6th at 10PM EST. Have fun and happy ranking!!! Here is the song list for the Lost Hits of the 1980s Extras Rankdown Part 2: ABBA - The Visitors The Bangles - Walking Down Your Street Beastie Boys - Brass Monkey Berlin - Masquerade Billy Joel - Don't Ask Me Why Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - Roll Me Away The Cars - I'm Not the One Change - Paradise Con Funk Shun - Too Tight Crowded House - World Where You Live Cyndi Lauper - My First Night Without You Debbie Harry - French Kissin' Depeche Mode - Behind the Wheel Dokken - Alone Again Donna Summer - Walk Away Duran Duran - Skin Trade Electric Light Orchestra - Calling America Erasure - Stop!

Oh, I'm in. Definitely an eclectic mix.
Just curious, did we ever rank Berlin's Sex (I'm A)? Berlin has changed the lyrics that they sing in concert - it's not as risque as it used to be.

I'm almost ready to submit. Some good finds. There's always one or two songs that challenge you on how to rank them - Weird Al is definitely that one in this rankdown. Like a Surgeon is no Amish Paradise, or Ricky for that matter.

Looking forward to this rankdown. All I will say about this collection of lost hits is that with some of these artists their catalogue is so vast that you forget how good some of their lesser hits are. There were a couple really good discoveries with this one.

my oh my, I was wrong in my prediction. This was a pretty solid group of songs. While I didn't love this, there was nothing objectionable about it and it was very 80's. Really, I only didn't like this rankdown's bottom two.

#47 STATS
The songs finishing at #47 and #46 were tied in points. Losing the tiebreaker is a song that only barely managed to receive a single top 20 ranking. This song wasn't doing too poorly until about midway through when it fell into the bottom 10 and wasn't able to make its way back out.
