At this point for the countdown of the top songs released in 1984, the questions are going to be asked are what could possibly beat the previous song? In this case, how about one of the most anti-authority, rebellious, protest rock songs of all time? This song is a staple for everyone sick and tired of the status quo and willing to tell everyone that they are done taking it. When you hear this song, you’ll know why it rose so high, high up to #8 – it is We’re Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister.
