Splitz Enz in the #1 spot is a bit of a surprise, but also not a bad choice at all. They're kind of an under-the-radar eighties band that made some really great music. That's why I love looking at other people's charts--it's these surprising moments that make it really rewarding. Overall an excellent chart with lots of interesting selections.
