If you're making a list of 80's songs, you should get the titles right. Let's start with your first example: it's called "One In A Lifetime". I'm guessing you also think The Who wrote a song called "Teenage Wasteland" and David Bowie penned one called "Ground Control To Major Tom".
Before anyone jumps on my typo... "Once"
If I were going to pick a Midnight Oil song, it would probably be "The Dead Heart," not "Blue Sky Mine." And my Talking Heads choice would be "Burning Down The House," the version from the movie.
Might want to pick "More Than This" by Roxy Music, too.
