Boys of Summer – Don Henley
I am so, so lame.
NO, It’s really Under Pressure – David Bowie
I can’t decide. I never pick favorites.
jesses girl by rick Springfield
Don’t Stop Believing – Journey (my personal favorite karaoke song)
Burnin’ For You – Blue Oyster Cult
In the 80’s I loved anything by Madonna and Cyndi Lauper.
Tainted Love by Soft Cell
@wildflower, don’t forget about Ratt.
Pat Benatar Love Is a Battlefield, Hit Me with Your Best Shot, and although it was originally released in 1979 I consider Heartbreaker also of the 80s.
Ok, this is totally robmandu’s fault (I’m gonna be youtubing all night now!), but there’s also:
Cindarella
Warrant
And I can’t believe this didn’t come to mind before:
KISS
Rainbow
Survivor
This is almost impossible. If I must choose I’d say Every Day Is Like Sunday by Morrissey.
Cruel Summer. Bananarama.
Manic Monday and Eternal Flame. Bangles.
Lastly, anything by Cheap Trick.
How Soon Is Now is The Smiths, who are actually better than Morrissey alone.
Panama, by Van Halen. And no, I do not sport a mullet. Anymore.
Also, She Sells Sanctuary, by the Cult
@knotmyday… aw, hell yah… The Cult still rock!
Depeche Mode – Everything Counts
Pet Shop Boys – Suburbia
and a hundred others, but these two are at the top…
Mother by Danzig. (Thanks GHII!)

Ugh… four posts from me here… that’s at least three too many.
I could go with ‘How Soon is Now’ but as it’s already nominated I’ll pick ‘Gigantic’ by the Pixies.
Any song from a John Hughes film made in the 80’s.
Here’s a great site if you need to jog your memory a bit http://www.getback.com. My favorite song was Mr. Roboto by Styx oh and Rock Me Amadeus by Falco.. oh oh and Abracadabra by Steve Miller Band.
Just for the record, I want to give everyone a “Great Answer!” because all of these songs are making me feel nostalgic!
My favorite 80’s song was always “Let’s hear it for the boy” which I believed was about me when I was 4…
