Best garage house songs of the 1980s

Cheap drum machines and the first affordable samplers changed who was allowed to make a record. Hip-hop moved from a party you had to be at to a 12-inch you could buy, and MTV made how a song looked part of the argument.

Tracks carry their own ratings here, so a record you would never play front to back can still have a song worth defending.
