Return to the 80s 
Wow, that was a brutal top-ten music list. The only song I really liked was Rick Astley’s.
Debbie Gibson’s was pretty good, and I suppose Bon Jovi’s too.
At least there were some decent shows on TV that week.

Yeah, that was a crazy top-10 list. I had totally forgotten about that Rick Astley song. I didn’t know he hung on that long. So grunge not only killed hair bands, but Rick Astley as well!
