#10 of DJ Akhu's Top 100 80's Dance Hits Countdown: 'Sex (Im A...)' by Berlin (1982)

Finally we have reached the Top 10 finalists of the Top 100 80's Dance Hits Countdown so here we go, at #10 we have American new-wave/synth-pop band Berlin and their 1982 hit Sex (Im A...).  Now, because of their name you may have thought that Berlin were a German band, but actually they are Americans from Los Angeles, California who formed back in 1978 and consisted then of members Terri Nunn (vocals), David Diamond (keyboards), Ric Olsen (guitar), Matt Reid (keyboards), John Crawford (bass guitar), and Rod Learned (drums). Sex (I'm A...) was a single release off of the band's 2nd gold-certified studio album Pleasure Victim. The song reached #8 on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Songs chart, and #5 on the Canadian Hot 100 chart. This, and the other Berlin song on this countdown are my 2 personal favorite Berlin songs of all time, and the sound of this song somehow perfectly captures that futuristic 80's synth sound. #9 is coming at you next, so be prepared!
