Good 80's Songs?

[McZero]

I prefer the 80's to today's music, and I need some suggestions.
My top 5
1.Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Atley
2.Tarzan Boy - Baltimora
3.Take on Me - Aha
4.99 Luft Ballons - Nena
5.Every Breath You Take - The Police

[Timmy]

Personally, I abhor the 80s. The music, the outfits, the shows - all of it.

I just don't understand how so many people look fondly back at the 80s, especially through "80s theme parties".

I mean, seriously...

[Xboi]

Bob marley anyone?
1-Could you be loved
2-I shot the sheriff
3-Jammin
4-Redemption song
5-Get up Stand up

[Digital-Terror]

Can't think of anything not by A-Ha.

[boloneyman]

The Final Countdown is the best. No contest.

I also enjoy Living on a Prayer. Gotta love that hair metal.

[HandsomePete]

True Faith, and almost everything by New Order.

[Krbyfan1]

Young man, I do not see Panama or anything by Van Halen on here, which is a travesty. Please fix this.

[Kart-Man]

Sadly, most people only know the bassline as the "Oh, it's what's-his-name-Vanilla Ice!" one...

Da-duh-duh-da-da dun dun!

Da-duh-duh-da-da dun dun!

5.Every Breath You Take - The Police

[PuRpLe-KusH]

I luv the 80s too becuz it was the only time men could wear tight leather pants and get away with it.

[Crue]

I'm seeing mainly new wave stuff. Only one mention of greats like Van Halen. And more disputed but nonetheless populars like Bon Jovi. How about:

1) Motley Crue - Wild Side
2) Poison - Nothin But A Good Time
3) Van Halen - Hot For Teacher
4) Faster Pussycat - Bathroom Wall
5) Bon Jovi - Dead Or Alive
6) Dio - Holy Diver
7) Great White - Once Bitten Twice Shy
8) Iron Maiden - Aces High
9) Journey - Don't Stop Believin
Lita Ford - Kiss Me Deadly (Look at the pic, you'd do her)
10) Metallica - Master Of Puppets
11) Ratt - Round And Round

Okay, thats eleven songs, and i could name more. But you can't tell me that there isn't at least one song or artist on that list you like. And what about the Rap/Hip-Hop of the 80's? Nobody has even touched that yet.

[TrantaLocked]

Van Halen, Metallica. Done.
