[Jamastiene]

2. Stand

Anything by REM

I also loved Pet Sematary.

[electron_blue]

17. I 2nd that. The 80's were a great time for REM-ing.

[dembotoz]

3. anything by Kate Bush.

[OmahaBlueDog]

10. Running Up That Hill is a great, underplayed song

[Perry Logan]

25. Yes indeed. Kate is a genius.

[NewJeffCT]

33. I liked "Wuthering Heights"

heathcliff, it's me, cathy...

48. It's odd... I never "got" her at all.

I don't know why, but nothing I ever heard from her ever appealed to me. I'm sure plenty of people like her.

[Jade Fox]

4. That's a good one!!

There were so many great songs in the 80s my 'favorite' list contains about 50.

Here's one:

[hellbound-liberal]

5. Hey now! Hey now! This one!

Crowded House-Don't Dream It's Over

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZZfuCJ970w

:hi:

[Ahpook]

8. Ugh:)

Thats one of those tunes i remember from Highschool. We would sit in the back of the school bus on our way home and smoke a joint. Our driver was cool and played some music. He didn't care that we smoked weed back there until the jocks chimed in for whatever reason. Hell, his coffee cup said "Aim High" As far as i know, he never was in the Air Force:)

Anyway, that tune and "We Built This City"... get to me still. Not sure why, but it does.

[mondo joe]

6. Some song by The The, to be sure. NT

[Guava Jelly]

7. True

http://youtube.com/watch?v=xn_x1zqLj1k
Spandau Ballet - True

[CreekDog]

9. This one

http://youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU

[TZ]

11. You know

I just knew you had really poor taste in music...That's almost as bad as....Rush......
I guess someone has to be an evil bastid since temeah's on vacation....:rofl:

[CreekDog]

12. I don't like that song, just the reaction

I like "More Than This" by Roxy Music

http://youtube.com/watch?v=OfgU4iQr8PU

[Dr. Strange]

18. Roxy albums tend to be located pretty close to the Rush albums.

Just saying...

:evilgrin:

[CreekDog]

21. there goes the neighborhood

:evilgrin:

[alphafemale]

24. The 80's were a fun time for music.

I really would be hard pressed to name a favorite.

[spooky3]

42. me too - my favorite decade for music - but how about "Don't Dream It's Over"

the original by Crowded House

[gbate]

Hot damn!

[OmahaBlueDog]

13. "Wearing and Tearing" by Led Zep

OK -- it's a trick; the song was recorded in '78 and released in '82

[InvisibleTouch]

14. Tough choice - I love lots of them.

If I had to pick the one quintessential great 80's song, though, I'd have to go with "One Night in Bangkok."

I like the one you posted, too. :)

[blue neen]

15. Here's a great one.

I don't know if I can pick just one favorite, though!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bz-qeJOo7cs

[Perry Logan]

27. One of the greatest songs EVER.

[khashka]

16. Oddly, two songs by Romeo Void

Never Say Never and A Girl In Trouble Is A Temporary Thing.


Which dates me and shows I am completely lacking in taste.


Khash.

(For the people who said KaTe Bush - like Paul once told me - when all else fails, there is always Kate.)


Khash.

[rucky]

19. Where is my mind?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGXdXcpNsv4

[Blarch]

29. good stuff.

[abq e streeter]

20. Alex Chilton, by the Replacements...

Many Clash, REM, and Springsteen songs---Straight To Hell, Hungry Heart, Cuyahoga, The Magnificent Seven, Atlantic City, Fall On Me, Car Jamming, Somebody Got Murdered, Sherry Darling...

[taterguy]

23. I really like this version of Alex Chilton

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QDS4GBLgZg

[Inchworm]

22. hey now all you middlemen..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JWBmZTad2E

Weeee!

:headbang:

[Perry Logan]

26. A damned good decade for tunes.

[hellbound-liberal]

28. Free Fallin' -Tom Petty

Probably my favorite song from the 80s. It takes me back to one of the last summers I spent with my dad in Reseda.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=726Zf-zin-s

[tekisui]

30. This One. I still love it:

Talking Heads---Home

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkZHjn3A-yk

[Blarch]

31. SOD anybody ?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ntkHY-oMO0

[KG]

32. OMG - that's worse than being rickrolled!

[NewJeffCT]

34. This was released in 1989, but didn't become popular for a few years...

so, not sure it counts.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lzb-jYZrLE

[PeaceNikki]

35. Right now it's: Newcleus - Jam On It

http://youtube.com/watch?v=7pWX46lJc1Y

WIKI WIKI WIKI, Shut up!

[ghostsofgiants]

44. Classic.

You should check out Mos Def's version of that. It's great.

[PeaceNikki]

45. Wow. I found it on youtube.

I'd never heard that before. Very very cool! Thanks!

[gbate]

36. Too many to choose, but I really like this one.

[geardaddy]

37. B-52's: Rock Lobster

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szhJzX0UgDM

[MAGICBULLET]

38. never one favorite

<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7VgDSNxlGU>

[hyphenate]

39. Anything by Alan Parsons Project

or Air Supply. Or from Footloose.

Sorry if my taste offends anyone. :P

[Rabrrrrrr]

40. The Police's "Mother"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=penVzLsOuyg

[Strawman]

41. At the time, during most of the 1980's, I would've picked this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToeY7MkCm0c

Looking back today, no idea.

[ghostsofgiants]

43. Tough call. Maybe "That's When I Reach For My Revolver" by Mission of Burma...

Or "Out Of Step" by Minor Threat...

Or "I Against I" by Bad Brains...

I can't post any links though because I'm at work.

[Ishoutandscream2]

46. None. The 80's were the nadir of popular music

Worst, Decade, Ever...

[begin_within]

47. "Orinoco Flow" by Enya

The best song of the 1980s, in my opinion. The first time I heard it I was paralyzed by the sounds: the harp, the soaring voides (all of which are Enya), the catchy chorus... nothing like that had ever been on the radio in the U.S. before that point.
