What are, in your opinions, the best songs of the 1980s? I don't know about you but I felt it was the best decade ever in music!

 

My personal fave from the 80s is There Is A Light That Never Goes Out. Probably the best song ever written in my view!

There are a bunch of songs that I liked but honestly I feel it was the worst decade in music in the past 50 years

I can't pick! The songs in this thread are great, though.

oh 80s music :)

 

SImple Minds - Don't You Forget About Me (it doesn't get any more 80s than this)

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAdaQhitdKg]YouTube- Don't You Forget About Me - Simple Minds (1985) / Music Video[/ame]

 

Genesis - Duchess

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPRck13OUcs]YouTube- Genesis - Duchess (Music Video)[/ame]

 

(Genesis WERE the 80's for me :))

basically why I think 80's was the worst decade is because of all these big-haired popstars. I know there are a LOT of other great stuff in 80's like Jazz (l'm talking about the Stevie Wonder-kind of Jazz). I guees I just hate the 80's pop. lolo.

THIS. I love this song too!

 

It is perfect in every single way is that song is There Is A Light That Never Goes Out!

 

 

Now you can't have a Best Songs of the 80s thread without U2 can you?

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHcP4MWABGY&ob=av3e]YouTube- U2 - Pride (In The Name Of Love)[/ame]

 

 

p.s - there's a couple who didn't like the 80s here. Must have been Britain where it was brilliant!
