It is so sad that hundreds of people, when hearing a-ha, think of Take On Me. They made so many better songs...

This one is from the 80s:

I get what you mean, but Take on Me really is a good song.

But yeah, so many tracks stand out from that one album!
Sun Always Shines On TV, Blue Sky, Here I Stand and Face The Rain, they're all good and to anyone who's heard the whole record, they share equal ground with Take on me.

I neglected the thread, and so will do something about it. Radio hits can go away, non-mainstream is where it's at:

Why can't Tesla or whoever just license the Pontiac Firebird Trans-am car design, cram all their self-driving car tech inside, and put it on the market like that as a KITT replica? It would be nothing less but the dream car for hundreds of thousands.
