I'm probably too old for the 80's, but I remember one song in particular that I thought kicked major ass, and I haven't seen it anywhere since (it never makes it into the "80's representative compilations").

Martin Briley (WHO???) and "You Ain't Worth the Salt in My Tears."

Didn't Dolly Parton cover that? When I worked at a movie theatre, it was on one of our CDs, so I'm assuming it was in a movie of some sort...hmmm... *goes off to Google*

I enjoy the GTA: Vice City soundtrack quite a bit.

B-52's - Rock Lobster
GNR - Welcome to the Jungle
Faith No More (although I don't really think of them as 80's)
Talking Heads - Burning Down the House

So many to list :P

Anything by XTC. I also love the Cure, the Clash, the Police. I wasn't in high school then. I think I would have turned out differently if I had been.

Naked Eyes: Promises, Promises

silent_jay · 01-04-2005, 01:09 PM

Flock of Seagulls - I ran, such a cheesy song for cheesy times.

loonatic8her · 01-10-2005, 06:09 PM

the 80's sucked so hard that it actually made bands like Ratt and Poison and Cinderella Pop Icons of that Era.... thank God for the Police, The Cure...

My favorite song was one the was re-made by Marylin Manson

That would be Tainted Love... by Soft Cell
