open it up to members to suggest some of the songs to be included

I secretly did already (although most of the suggestions were super obvious ones).  But I can reach out to another group with the next go around.

A-Ha, New Radicals, Foster the People, Divinyls

A-Ha, Information Society, Walk the Moon, and The Divinyls. 

Take on Me vs Flagpole Sitta was a tough one.  But like Fox said, Take on Me may be hard to beat.  I'd never even heard Shut Up and Dance before today that I can recall.  It's catchy and the video was great.  I like the Punch-Out part where his head gets knocked off.

Those were the same ones I voted for. Walk the Moon is from Cincinnati so Shut Up and Dance got played quite a bit on the radio here.

Yeah, that one became an issue when the singer became an issue.

2112.  Because Rush rules
 

I agree with others about Harvey Danger.  Probably would’ve beaten anyone else on this list.  Although — it is actually kind of a stupid song.  It’s got a good melody though.

I like the 80s vs 90s thing going on in a lot of these matchups.

[Tulpa | 3,510]

The only song this round that I can't stand is You Get What You Give. It's just too repetitive. If I never hear it again I'll be happy.

[Tulpa | 3,510]

Also, the extended version of Take On Me is heavenly.

I was just thinking about Jock Jams Vol. 2 last night.

We might need some Real McCoy up in this bitch.

...or maybe not.

Technotronic has been a regular listen for me since '89.

Anything from jock jams 1 and 2, iirc is amazing......I would have to go back and look at the playlist but Im pretty sure I would love any of them and they would all be in my top 10 @Reed Rothchild  I don't care what you say if 11>10, THEY ARE ALL TOP 10

Well I'm pretty Macarena was in there, so you might get a chance to profess your love...

Man, the New Radicals album is probably my favorite album by a band that only ever put out one album. "You Get What You Give" especially is incredibly nostalgic to me. Reminds me of high school instantly. God I miss the 90s. But "Take On Me" is amazing too.
