What do you think there are the five best BB songs in the 80s?

 I'd say:

 - Somewhere Near Japan ( I don't understand why don't have been included in MIC)
 - Goin' On
 - Getcha Back
 - Where I Belong
 - I'm So Lonely

For me, I would replace I'm So Lonely with It's Gettin' Late. Other than that I agree with you. Vocally, I think Kokomo and Chasin' The Sky rank up there, as well.

Oh Brian
Thou Art In Hawthorne,
Harmonied Be Thy name
Your Kingdom Come,
Your Steak Well Done,
On Stage As It Is In Studio,
Give Us This Day, Our Shortenin' Bread
And Forgive Us Our Bootlegs,
As We Also Have Forgiven Our Wife And Managers,
And Lead Us Not Into Kokomo,
But Deliver Us From Mike Love.
Amen.  ---hypehat

I like Livin' With A Heartache, but it is a bit long and really could have used a bridge in the middle. I feel that way about Mona and The Night Was So Young, as well.
