Incredible era for music.  

In fact, I'm going to YouTube a playlist now. I appreciate this post, very much 

Tough question, there are a lot of great songs from the 80's. Tears for fears is one of my favorite bands. Johnny hates jazz- shattered dreams was a great song. Real life- send me an angel was really great. Eddie money, hall and oats, toto, the scorpions. Too many to name really.  I wish I could remember them all, but  unfortunately I can't. 

Not old enough to remember this all. 

But one that always stuck in my head. 

Toms diner-Suzan Vega

I never really enjoyed music in the 80s until acid house started appearing towards the end. Bomb The Bass really hit the spot. While Beat Dis was the big hit they had, I always preferred the follow-up Megablast. 

this is such a toughie as it tends to change depending on my mood.

Town called malice by the jam

waterfall by the stone roses, there were so many

Eye of the Tiger by Survivor.  Remember seeing Rocky III and coming out so pumped up....Thank god I didn't get in a fight!  LOL

I don't really know but according the music my parents were listening to it was a hot time.  I remember  these songs well - Michael Jackson’s Beat it and Billie Jean, Prince -  When Doves cry, The Rolling Stones - Start Me Up, Super Freak – Rick James and so many more.  It was a time when you understood the words to a son.

I can't say there are a lot of 80's songs that I like.  There were some great bands in the 80's, but also a lot of shitty ones.  I was really too young to listen to music until late 80's.  I was always a fan of the rock/metal/hair bands, whatever you want to call them.  Guns N Roses was probably my favorite back then, pretty much their whole Appetite for Destruction album was stellar.

lots of good songs came from the 80's. Van Halen, Ratt, Def Leppard, The Cars, .38 Special, to name a few. I guess of all those examples my favorite is Def Leppard.  They had several goo songs back then (Hysteria, Love Bites, Animal, Rock of Ages, etc.) but my all time favorite from them was Photograph. Great song to dedicate to your ex. 

Way too many awesome songs from the 80's. It is hard to pick just one. I think the last one I listened to (today while in my car to be exact) was "I Melt With You" by Modern English. "I made a pilgrimage to save this human race, never comprehending the race has long gone by." Awesome stuff. As an aside, I am unabashedly a Queen fanboy so 70s and 80s is just boss music. 

I think my favourite 80s music is fly me to the moon original version.Its one of the best songs ever created until now.

My fave which has to be blasted out loud and was the finest song never to reach the coveted #1 spot is Vienna by Ultravox.

I like everything from the 80s lol! but if I have to pick one, I'm gonna say Tommy Page's "A Shoulder to Cry On" to be the best one for me.

"Words Don't Come Easy" by F.R David, "Breakout" by Swing Out Sisters, and  Michael Fortunati's "Give Me Up" are also worth mentioning.

Take on me by a-ha is also a pretty nice song... used to hear it a lot over the radio as a kid now it is usually included in our party playlist lol
