I was tooling around YouTube and happened upon some 80's tunes so I thought I would ask, since this is a place dedicated to something iconically 80's. Mine is without a doubt:

"We Built This City" by Jefferson Starship
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_EdzOSSDV0

For very sentimental reasons. Which 80's tune do you guys like???

[Dr. Stantz Jr.]

"Don't Bring Me Down" by ELO missed out by a year (1979), so I'd have to go with "Kickstart My Heart" by Motley Crue.

[Megalomaniac]

Hoo boy I have a lot.

But I'm gonna go with "Notorious" by Duran Duran.

[Chace]

Peter Piper.....without question, it was on the first cassette I ever bought and I still rock it almost weekly.

Since most of you fools have no idea how to post a youtube video (its just the part AFTER the V= that goes between the board code) I will give you a track off of the second cassette tape I ever bought (though that is arguable because I got them at the same time)

Off of The Beastie Boys Licensed to Ill, I give you, "Paul Revere"

(Which I also still rock weekly)

[Sutton621]

By default, my favorite 80's song will always be "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and The News.

However, I really enjoy this song.

"She's a Beauty"--The Tubes.

[lunchbox739]

Beastie boys are classic. ..I was never much of a rap fan...but they bent and crossed genres with their music....my licensed to Ill CD is played at obscene volume levels weekly also sir.....

[FrancineStantz]

Tears for Fears - Head Over Heels
Don Henley - The Boys of Summer
Real Life - Send Me an Angel
Bananarama - Cruel Summer
INXS - Never Tear Us Apart

[goldenhawk]

Too many to list. But inno particular order:
Guns N Roses - Welcome to the Jungle
The Police - King of Pain
INXS - Need You Tonigt/Mediate
Pet Shop Boys - Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)
New Order - True Faith and Bizzare Love Triangle

[ecto1matt]

I like all of the songs posted above. I couldn't stop listening to the Beastie Boys and Run DMC.

No such thing as a favorite. Got a whole pile to choose from...how about this gem?

[Grimmy GB]

Killing Joke - Love Like Blood


I used to be a HUGE Lionel Richie fan in the 80s. Had ALL of his tapes.


MJ - Thriller


David Bowie (Labyrinth) - As the World Falls Down ***The wife and I had this for our first dance at our wedding reception***


And yeeeeah *hides face*
Bobby Brown - My Prerogative (Had this single on vinyl)



And I might add that when i was attending "Day Camp" (Summer Camp), I used to get the cool older kids with the loud freaking 2 foot tall boomboxes to jam out BOTH GB albums on cassette. I was nicknamed the obvious, "Ghostbuster". I didn't realize they were actually making fun of me.

[Spengler02]

Anything by Queen.

This thread is old but either way, High five!

But I also love Banarama's Cruel Summer and Venus, A-Ha's Take on Me, Alessi's Savin' the Day, Ghostbusters (by Ray Parker Jr. and Run DMC), Michael Jackson's Thriller, Dirty Diana, Smooth Criminal, Billy Jean...There are so many it would be IMPOSSIBLE to name them all!

[Spengler02]

Oh and I forgot : Bobby Brown On Our Own. I could listen to that song 24/7.

[Spengler02]

I missed a few! Boney M-EVERYTHING!



I know some of their stuff is from the 70s, but whatever. Also the original Last Christmas, by Wham. So many, I'm surprised this thread is only on it's first page.
