I think "Bridge To Your Heart" by Wax was my absolute favourite 80s song.

[Popsicle]

I really miss the 80's... long hair, loud music-- free spirit..

I think of Heart, 38 special, Skynard, aerosmith and so many more..... man I miss the 80s..

Great site idea!!!

I loved all those bands too. Skynyrd were great!

No One Is To Blame-Howard Jones enough said...that is my fav. song of the 80's

[Popsicle]

I also loved Nik Kershaw's "The Riddle" and "Together in Electric Dreams" by Philip Oakey and Giorgio Moroder - both songs bring back memories of the 80s.

Erasure, Sometimes. Just to hear the intro takes me back to a time when a mortgage was just something my folks worried about :-)

[Matteh]

Well, seeing as I like happy, cheerful & upbeat kinda things in general, I suppose it has to be "Good Thing" by the Fine Young Cannibals. Can't help but tap your feet to that one

Mine is Tainted Love, Soft Cell. Can't believe what Marilyn Manson done to it recently!

80s, I think is a local maximum of the split between popular music and good music (Which wasn't matched until the late 90s, which continues to expand to today). Anyway heres mine...

Emotional Rescue (1980)- The Rolling Stones

[GoRedskins]

This is a tough question, so I put some thought into it. During the 80s, I was in school (2nd - 11th grade). Therefore, I think the song that sums up the essence of the 80s for me is Extreme's - "Mutha (Don't Wanna Go To School Today).

Quite difficult to decide but Girls on Film-Duran Duran, Together in Electric Dreams-Phil Oakey and Giorgio Moroder and If you leave-OMD.
