One common theme we’re going to hear in this 1984 countdown is how could song A beat out song B, and there will be a myriad of reasons given. For example, this next entry in this countdown beat the previous track by being one of the most recognizable keyboard rock riffs of all time. It is not only one of the best tracks to balance keyboards and rock guitars, but it’s also a song that everyone goes to when they mention their name. Another song I grew up to as a kid, the #14 song in the 40 year old countdown is Jump by Van Halen.
