Favorite Song From The 80's?

[sodamntired]

the decade had some pretty good tracks...there was a time when I thought it was all fluff and didn't have any substance, but I now consider it all to be a lot of fun and some of it really cool.

 

My favorites: Men Without Hats - Safety Dance and Soft Cell - Tainted Love

 

 

Any other favorites?

[Azalroth]

Mr. Roboto - Styx

Tainted Love - Soft Cell

 

 

some others I can't think of as they are on my computer at home

Anything Richard Marx

 

Toy Soldiers by Martika

Though officially released december 14 1979... I'm gonna have to say All Lost In the Supermarket/London Calling/Train in Vain/etc, from the Clash's London Calling.

 

With a release date like that it's pretty much 80s. Best ablum of the 80s too, so says my humble opinion, ofcourse.

 

 

 

EDIT: Never included the album name for some cool reason.

Toy Soldiers by Martika

I LOVED THAT SONG!

 

how embarassing.

 

there was a lot of cool shit in the 80s, if you like faggy new wave gothy synthy dancy hairbandy crap, which i do, so i can't really name favourite songs.

I Melt With You - Modern English

Oh Yeah - Yello

My Sharona - The Knack.

 

So technically My Sharona is from 1979, but it's 80's enough.

[garsk]

how are we forgetting "dont you forget about me" by tears from fears. I mean, it is the breakfest club soundtrack.

[5ilent Narcotic]

Ummmmm.... That's a Simple Minds song.
