Yeah, Karma Chameleon is way worse though, I'm suprised I'm the only one who billied it.
Would've got my Billy if no previous winners had been nommed.

You are wrong. Everything that was big in the 90's was done already in the 80's (it just hadn't gone mainstream)
Opinions are never wrong. There was nothing new about eighties music except the horrible sound of processed synth and fake ass drum sounds. The biggest artists of the eighties were vanilla as **** - Olivia Newton John, Bill Joel, Captain and Tenille, Bette Midler, Air Supply, Chris Cross, Diana Ross, KC and the Sunshine Band, Dr Hook, Kenny Rogers..... I reckon most people rave about the 80s purely out of nostalgia. 60s and 70s were way more creative musically. 90s stuff was generally much more real.

All the top 40 shit of every era is pretty shit, probably 90s are close to being an exception, but that might be my nostalgia. 80s New Wave broke into the top 40 but didn't dominate.

Being an old metalhead, I absolutely loathed New Wave... Did have a couple of Ultravox albums, mainly because I liked Midge Ure.

Which is exactly the point - 80s top 40 was never the realm of "artists". It was, like every other era, the realm of record company promoted stuff for the casual music listener.
