A word about intent:
I had originally intended to make this a playlist of "forgotten classics" but at some point it just seemed like The Ladies (Janet, Whitney, Madonna, and to a lesser extent, Debbie, Tiffany, and Paula) could not be left out. Of course, once I made that exception, there was no way I could exclude the MJ.
I also want to mention that when "Tell it to My Heart" came out, Taylor Dayne kinda gave me the creeps, but I have (mostly) gotten over that.

Tiffany was my first concert! NKOTB opened. Oh that Joey MacIntyre! And how much did I want to shred my jeans like Debbie?
Tight.
I would have put Rhythm of the Night a few years earlier, but I'm not challenging you.
Takes me back to those days when I dreamed of having a permed mullet. or at least a rat's tail. But alas, my coolness ended at my pegged pants.
we're no strangers to love
you know the rules and so do i...
Someday Rick Astley will be revered for the musical genius he was.
Ka-Blam-O! You're right, Rhythm of the Night was 1985.
I refuse to give you another $5 though.
Snap! I SHOULD have challenged you. Always go with your gut. And for the record, you didn't give me $5 - you gave me back $5 that I lost for something else (which I can't remember).
