My top 15. Caveat: I didn't hear the #1 track until 1988, so there was some major ex-post readjustment of the list here. (The original list-topper was Psychic TV! I haven't listened to "Godstar" in years! My best friend was really into them, though, so...) The Madonna track is also a retrospective addition. Paul Simon and Elvis Costello got bumped down to make way.
