Is "Out of Touch" more legendary than "Our Lips Are Sealed"? It's the bracket matchup no one saw coming, but everyone's obsessing over! To end the week on "The 80s-est," we're diving into the epic showdown between powerhouse 6-seed Hall & Oates—Oates being the mustachioed maestro of mainstream pop domination—against the scrappy 11-seed Go-Go's, the DIY darlings who crashed the boys' club with thrift store style and punk rock hearts. Can Belinda and the girls pull off the bracket buster, or will Daryl's falsetto and John's magical cookie duster prove too powerful to overcome? We're talking synthesizers versus safety pins, dance floors versus dive bars, and whether chart-busting success or groundbreaking girl power better captures the neon soul of the Reagan era?
