I highlighted the real winners in red to see how our tastes compare with NARAS.

i think u2 had the best record with "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For". both the police and cindi lauper had great records too and make deserving winners. the top 10 was great.

i think "Billie Jean" and "With Or Without You" (U2) should have been nominated instead of "Beat It" and "I Still..." respectively, and either of them would have made a great winner in this poll.

Yeah I kind of agree to this. Honestly, its a great top 10, but I was rooting for The Police out of the final two.

Michael Jackson should have won this poll.

honestly i think "The Police" should have won this poll. But i ve just love so much Cyndi... that i couldnt help voting for her...

so our winners in the different years would have been

1980 Bette Midler - "The Rose"
1981 Kim Carnes - "Bette Davis Eyes" (winner)
1982 Willie Nelson - "Always On My Mind"
1983 The Police - "Every Breath You Take"
1984 Cyndi Lauper - "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"
1985 Bruce Springsteen - "Born in the USA"
1986 Whitney Houston - "Greatest Love of All"
1987 U2 - "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"
1988 Tracy Chapman - "Fast Car" (1988)
1989 Bette Midler - "Wind Beneath My Wings" (winner)

The Police song is better, but this is still a good result. Great poll.

From those two choices, The Police should have won this poll.
