Here's a song which is so 80's that even when I was in the 80's it would remind me of the neon shirt that I was wearing.

I am stating it on a "then" point of view- not like I enjoy it now. Also on a general popularity view, as well. That song sold really well. |

Thanks cj2112 for the cool link. Bookmarked. They're actually playing the theme song to the "Neverending Story" now!
All great responses. I would like to add anything from the Police, Corey Hart (He was the 'I wear my sunglasses at night' guy), Til Tuesday- Voices Carry. Remember Samantha Fox?

Pardon my curmugeonry. It's just that Ice Ice Baby was the song that focussed attention on sampling for me (Grandmaster Flash slid completely under my radar for a long time.) and sampling is a pet peeve of mine. No one has yet been able to convince me that facility with a tape deck is a musical talent, so I give my props to the song sampled, not the sampler. And Under Pressure is a really, really good song. Nevertheless, you have one thing right, for people of a certain age, that song is freighted with positive association.

My list of favorites would take several pages so I'll just jot down a few::
Bette Midler - The Rose B-52's - Rock Lobster Christopher Cross - Sailing Clash - Rock The Casbah Devo - Whip It Gary Numan - Cars Kool & The Gang - Celebration Queen - Another One Bites The Dust Steve Miller Band - Abracadabra The Motels - Only The Lonely other artists with several good songs were Journey, The Police, Phil Collins/Genesis, Eddie Money, Culture Club.. and on and on... I'm such a sucker for 80's music. I think it was one of the best era's of hit music that we ever knew and may ever know.

If I had to name just one 80s song that is my favorite, I'd have to go with the one that - 20 years after first hearing it - I still enjoy as if it's brand new.

I absolutely love the eighties and it's almost all that I listen to. I especially love songs that were once famous but everyone has now forgotten. I guess it doesn't bode well that I remember all the "forgettable" songs but they're wonderful. I don't know why we keep forgetting them...
Here are a few (slightly) more famous ones...

I was just watching "Gigantic" and I smacked my self in the forehead when I realized that They Might Be Giants began in the 80s. At the very least, their first two albums, perhaps the first three. Took my first acid trip to their first album (and was that every whack). Songs? Ana Ng, Lie Still Little Bottle, Don't Let's Start, Puppethead, She's An Angel, Youth Culture Killed my Dog....
F*ckit! There are maybe 3 bad songs (maybe as few as one) on their first three albums, all the rest are incredible.

Wow, I'm coming late to this thread, but here's my list (I confess I stopped listening to pop music around '86 when I went into a serious classic rock phase)
