Big fan on Dead Man's Party-From Back to School, another great 80's movie soundtrack has to be Napoleon Dynamite. It is not only one of the funniest movies I have ever seen the music rocks through out it.

We shouldn't disregard the 80's Big Hair Bands- Sister Christian come on you know it rocks

if you are talking about the sound of the 80's i agree... but the song that best represents the 80's is I Want To Be A Clone by The Descendents. IMO

Okay, I'm going to confess something here. I'm usually pretty hard on pop music but I actually listened to and enjoyed... Men at Work's Business as Usual

it's ok griff, pop music becomes counter-cultural 20 years after it was pop culture. You're stance as a rebel against society is still intact.

Unfortunately, I was listening to it circa '82-'83. Thanks for throwing the life preserver, but I'm better off drowning.
