There are three very good tracks here and an outstanding one, but there's a of pap. I made it my mission a few years ago to listen to all the songs to have made the Top 40 in my lifetime (I bailed out in the mid 2000s in the end) and I recall that the late 80's was really, really dire.

 

 

I’m not sure what made the Top 40 (a compilation that defines dire already lol) but I suspect you are correct, 1988-92 or so was a difficult listen sans a few ‘Seattle sound’ bands and if you hated them then the landscape was sparse iirc.

Might as well vote twice in 5 minutes and get today's out of the way too. The top end of this list is very depressing...
