TOP 100 ROCK & ROLL SINGLES OF ALL TIME: #12
12. "Genius of Love" / Tom Tom Club
Talking Heads members Chris Frantz's and Tina Weymouth's island friendly side project yielded this 80s classic. The bubblegum-flavored beats, Caribbean rhythms, and references to Kurtis Blow and James Brown are all unique pieces of a pop song like no other (except, of course, for the two where Mariah Carey samples the track).
