Top 10 flashback - June 9, 1984

10. "I'll Wait," Van Halen

But don't bother waiting for a music video.


9. "Jump (For My Love)," Pointer Sisters




Worth it if only for that one Hugh Grant scene.


8. "Hello", Lionel Richie



Professor Richie, both creepy and unintentionally funny, culminating with the Lionel sculpture, but a former #1.


7. "Self Control," Laura Branigan



She did something besides "Gloria?" Also, this gives me nightmares.


6. "The Heart of Rock & Roll," Huey Lewis & the News



No, that's not bumper music, that's an actual song.


5. "Sister Christian," Night Ranger



The movie that pretty much defined the power ballad, and if those who are inebriated can't not turn this song up.


4. "The Reflex," Duran Duran



Seriously, they could do no wrong at this point. Nice hook but kind of a mess.


3. "Let's Hear it for the Boy", Deniece Williams



Ubiquitous, cheesy but hard to resist, and a former #1.


2. "Oh, Sherrie", Steve Perry



Journey guy goes off on his own and ups the sap quotient about 1,000,000 percent. Still insanely catchy.


1. "Time After Time", Cyndi Lauper



Class of '84, you guys!
