Very little of the music that came out in the 1980s was any good, but compared to Mr. Mister's "Kyrie Eleison," KISS's "I Was Made for Loving You" or REO Speedwagon's "One Lonely Night," "We Built This City" was a true masterpiece.

Here's a better one: was any record released during the Reagan Administration good?
