Do you know any of these? What songs would you add to the list, and why?

I've starred all the ones I've heard before, and as for songs I'd add, well there are a lot, tbh - that one his for Tommy Tutone, Jenny. Why tf did they pick WTM's song over that one?

But anyway, I'd love to hear y'all's thoughts on this! (and I lowkey slaved over a hot keyboard doing this, so if it flops, Shua made me post this lol)

The list begins at the 40 second mark.
By the way, the top comment has all songs and years if anyone's interested in reading those.
