I'm scared that not only did you take the time to concoct this and type it, but also that your song choices are universally awful. I'll take exception to #39, 30, 20, and 8. But that's just my opinion. Rock on with your bad self!

Because, in the great scheme of 80's music, The Police are pretty mediocre.
