b'No one likes falling short of number one. \\u201cIf you ain\\u2019t first, you\\u2019re last\\u201d is a Ricky Bobby quote that will live forever.\\xa0 We aren\\u2019t sure that this quote is accurate for the music business. The Billboard 100 has a 99 other places you can be and you\\u2019re just fine.\\xa0 On this episode, we celebrate the 80s and look at some of the guitar driven rock hits during the decade. Being #1 is important in life.\\xa0 It defines you as a winner. Although, there were rock/hard rock bands that reached #1 on the Billboard 100 in the 80s, many were ballads.\\xa0 On this episode, we explore all the 80s songs (that we consider guitar driven rock, which at times is not easy to disseminate), that charted on the Hot 100 but failed to reach #1\\u2026..and as you probably guessed, our opinions vary on several of the choices.\\xa0 So, bring on your inner \\u201cPoindexter\\u201d and enjoy this stat ridden episode.
