After looking at all 3 choices ... I have come to the conclusion that I don't care. 1989 was a sucky year in music.

Good 8
Okay 4
Bad 28
Usually I like about 1/3 to 1/2 of an 80s countdown, but not this one. It was real bad. We heard this one 3 years ago and I had 8 good/7 ok. I lost 3 okays.
39: WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU – MICHAEL MORALES
35: PUT YOUR MOUTH ON ME – EDDIE MURPHY
28: SACRED EMOTION – DONNY OSMOND
7: GIRL I’M GONNA MISS YOU – MILLI VANILLI
6: SHOWER ME WITH YOUR LOVE - SURFACE
1: HANGIN’ TOUGH – NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK
These songs aren't just bad. They're absolutely terrible. Some of the worst 80s songs to ever touch the top 40.
10: 18 AND LIFE – SKID ROW
My wife says this song reminds her of Godsmack "Unforgettable". I don't really see it.
4: HEAVEN - WARRANT
Nina said Warrant's debut album spawned four hits
#2 Heaven
#20 Sometimes She Cries
#27 Down Boys

#77 Billy Squier "Don't Say You Love Me"
#81 Cinderella "Gypsy Road"
#86 Indigo Girls "Closer to Fine"
#88 Bulletboys "Smooth Up"
#97 Call "Let The Day Begin"
Infinitely better than most of the top 40
Will never reach the top 40
#45 Doobie Brothers "Need a Little Taste of Love"
#46 Stage Dolls "Love Cries"
#49 Chuckii Booker "Turned Away"
#57 Graces "Lay Down Your Arms"
