Ahhh... '80s music... For some reason I feel a special connection to it even though I was only born in December of 89, especially New Wave (as you can see b/c all of the songs in bold are on my iPod...). This was a great countdown. I wish they had put Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'" instead of "Don't Come Around Here No More," though DCAHNM was an excellent video. I also would've put another song from Prince instead of "Kiss"... I know, I know, that's one of his best-known songs, but anything from "Purple Rain" >>>>>> "Kiss" (IMO). Finally, I prefer "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody" by David Lee Roth, but I can see why they included "California Girls" instead...
Pretty solid countdown, though.
