thursday soundbites, no. 17

The other day while flipping through an issue of Rolling Stone I found myself quite tickled at a feature in the back of the issue alongside the current Billboard charts -- the Top 10 Singles from this week in 1984.

Some of my favorite guilty pleasure songs -- "Sister Christian," "Oh Sherrie" and "Borderline" -- appeared on the list, and it got me thinking about a playlist I made on my iPod last week that I've been listening to religiously on my commutes. It's a playlist that by sheer coincidence features a whole slew of 80s (and early 90s) jams that I've been into recently. With that in mind, I thought I'd make this week's Soundbite a flashback edition. Enjoy, and please -- try not to judge me too much.

Hall and Oates - "Rich Girl"


The Cars - "I'm Not The One"


Peter Gabriel - "Steam"
