  • It's AWESOME.
  • It's fairly obscure. This is obviously a subjective standard, but I don't want songs that everyone's heard no matter how awesome.

I went back and forth about including this song, because I think it was pretty popular. I figured though I've done more popular songs. Loverboy is certainly no more popular than Fortress Around Your Heart. It also has several bonus features:

  • I LOVE a lot of Billy Ocean songs, but none of them really seem "obscure."
  • This one has a video with a Star Wars knock off theme, tickling all my best nerdy places.
  • The YouTube video is fairly under-watched so maybe it's not as popular as I thought.
  • All my favorite 80's R&B songs are fairly popular, making it hard to prove my case that 80's R&B is the best!
