I disagree with most of the list. Most of these songs have never gone away for the people who like them. Then again, maybe the list has nothing to do with the ones who were around when they were released. My nomination for number one is on the list at number twenty. Holding out for a Hero fascinates me with its popularity. I like it, but I can't figure out how such a powerfully misogynistic song survives today. My latest x-wife loves it and she's about as new age as you can get. I knew the songs new? lasting? not sure the right word, but I knew it wasn't just a household thing when a 20 year old friend, I DM for choose it as a sound track for a potentially epic moment in a Dungeons and Dragons game. I'm not saying he had analyzed the song beyond the basic "I need a hero" lyric, but that he even knew it existed surprised me.

A version of Running Up That Hill was also in The Vampire Diaries

Holding out for a hero was a good fit in Short Curcuit 2

Should I Stay or Should I Go by the Clash was also featured in season 1 of Stranger Things.

Actually Careless Whisper stayed popular sice the day it was released. I struggle thinking of another song with so many covers than this in the last 40 years.

Thanks to the dang AI, now I can't watch the "I wanna dance with somebody" video without seeing Arnold'Schwarzenegger's face instead of Witney's.
@purpletiger9397 January 8, 2025 - 1:11 am
Placebo also did running up that road

Rickrolling was around well before 2007. 4Chan users taking credit for something they didn't invent.

This comment is for everyone who were there for the 90's 00's references that kept these so gs alive. I learned was not shown each of these songs in the 2000's theres more history here.

Is this list just a giant compliment sandwich? You know, where you take something bad and put it between two good things to soften the blow? It sure seems like it. Freaking awesome list--Troll us by reminding us that Thor: Love and Thunder existed--More freaking awesome list.

Depeche Mode > Top Charting mainstream artist in the 80's~!
@Zatbag88 January 8, 2025 - 1:11 am
This list could also be titled songs currently playing on repeat at your local Walmart.

These songs demonstrate that masterpieces will never fade away, and 80s music was the last decade with great music. This video also demonstrates that today's music lacks creativity, awesome lyrics, and unique tunes.

21 highway to the danger zone also made a resurgence thanks to 2013s gta 5 as one of the song in the game

Like a Prayer by Madonna made a major comeback thanks to the Deadpool movie. I am working in retail and I remember one time this song played, the store environment turned into a big karaoke moment. 3 Gen Z customers are singing to it heartily, a morher and her son are also singing to it, a straight couple are are also singing the line especially the chorus "When you call my name its like a little prayer..."
@thecman26 January 8, 2025 - 1:11 am
Luke Combs could literally sing anything amd make is sound GOOD!
@MotoGusto January 8, 2025 - 1:11 am
I was expecting " I think we are aone now by tiffany" revived from Umbrella academy scene :)
@24thVLadimir January 8, 2025 - 1:11 am
the number 1!!! no!! no! Is it still counted as being Rick-rolled? XD
@Vinylrebel72 January 8, 2025 - 1:11 am
Gen X music….see…were the best
@robinporter8481 January 8, 2025 - 1:11 am
3 songs I never heard... only two of the comebacks have I heard/seen. A lot of the songs I reference in my stories. As for Safety Dance, the pogo was banned because there were incidents of the floors fallingnoutbof clubs, and the dance was blamed.
@gato23 January 8, 2025 - 1:11 am
not including Psych for Dont You Forget About Me.

C''MON SON!!!

Nice of mojo to add a black trans dude to the list for no other reason 😅
