Hey, I listen to a lot of corny 80's stuff and I assumed I'm not the only one on the site that does with PTA putting so much of it on his soundtracks. So, I wondered what some of your guys favorite songs from the decade were. I plan on downloading all of them...I want to get into some more of the stuff, I think it's awesome. So don't list bands please, just songs...only the best ones too if you can...just so I don't have to filter through the decent ones.

Yazoo - Situation (the best!! :-D )
Madness - Our House
Nik Kershaw - The Riddle
Adam Ant - Stand And Deliver
Herbie Hancock - One Night in Bangkok
New Order - Blue Monday
The Smiths - Unhappy Birthday
David Bowie - Let's Dance

....I could go on all night!  :wink:

the thing that saved the eighties was Bruce Springsteen (i'm not talking about Dancing in the Dark)....also, the eighties goth-rock, Smiths, Cure, Depeche Mode, Joy Division, Echo and the Bunnymen...bands that are huge influences in today's music.

why that? ...queen only had moments in the 70s by the way, the 80s stuff sounds like bon jovi.

I think albums like "A Kind of Magic" and "The Works" are pure satire...

And I think "The Miracle" and "Innuendo" are pretty good...
