Truly dazzling

Our epic, soon-to-award-winning "Valley Girl" podcast is now online. Thirty-five minutes of pure genius. Well, 30 minutes of genius and 5 minutes of great music clips.

Which of course, begs the question. Five best songs from the Valley Girl soundtrack (once rated the second-hardest soundtrack to find in a store):
5) Everywhere at Once (Plimsouls)
4) I La La La Love You (Pat Travers)
3) I Melt with You (Modern English)
2) Monster of Love (Sparks)
1) Million Miles Away (Plimsouls)

Which begs the question, 8 best soundtracks from 80s movies:
8) Top Gun
7) The Lost Boys
6) The Blues Brothers
5) Fast Times at Ridgemont High
4) Footloose
3) Purple Rain
2) Pretty in Pink
1) Valley Girl

(Yeah, I tried for 10 but couldn't decide on two more. Feel free to add to the list).
