I just saw that movie 13 Going On 30 a few days ago and then we went over to my sister-in-laws house and watched the Wedding Singer the next day. Man those two movies are really making me miss a bunch of those 80's songs. Its hard for me to pick a favorite as so many of them were really great songs. Video Killed The Radio Star and Its A Dead Man's Party easily make the top 20 list, but I just cant pick my #1 favorite (or #2-5).

Blinded By Science - Thomas Dolby
My '80s experience was also largely defined by anything by Beru Revue (a local Philly band). Shall we?

Back in '82, I played the crap outta Combat Rock by The Clash. I'll pick Should I Stay or Should I go.

Maybe not the best, but Blood Makes Noise by Suzanne Vega is up there on my list.

99.9°F is a fantastic album, one of my favorites. Not a bad song on it. However it was released in the early 1990s.
Oh, and I need to add Peter Gabriel's Shock the Monkey to my list of greatest 80s songs. And Men at Work - Down Under

So far wolf's Thomas Dolby is the best choice. I have spent a great deal of time building the largest and most complete collection of 80's songs imaginable. I specialize in 80's one hit wonder bands in particular. If anything, I'm lacking in the big hair department a bit because I wasn't a huge fan of that. I was more of a mod/progressive-punk sort of guy.
It's incredibly hard for me to choose, but I'd have to say the song to me that really represents the 80's the most is Modern English - I'll melt with you. Although if we're allowed to have a list, I could jot down a 100 of so really great songs.

Hold Me Now is one of my personal favorites (The Wedding Singer, btw, is probably my favorite movie ever, next to Zoolander)
Take On Me by A-Ha. |
