Hmmm I don't remember that many songs from the 80's cuz I was too young. In the car, my mom would always put on the kids sing-a-long tapes, so we never listened to the radio or watched MTV at home till I was older. But I remember liking Debbie Gibson & Paula Abdul. LOL! My mom also LOVED Michael Jackson, so I would listen to him all the time.

Prince - Purple Rain
U2 - New Years Day
The Smiths - How Soon Is Now?
The Police - Every Breath You Take
The Clash - London Calling

I think these songs have stood the test of time. I could just have easily included Depeche Mode, The Cure, & New Order but that would have been redundant.

I was just thinking....

if you asked me to name my top 5 songs of the 80's when I was a kid it would be way different.

I'd have to include Def Leppard - Hysteria, Chicago, Aha, Tarzan Boy..

Was the MJ album called Living off the wall, or just "off the wall" i think I had it on tape.

Was INXS from the 80's I liked that when I was a kid, I found the cd at a garage sale

I like 80's rock.

Pink Floyd - the Wall
Aerosmith - Angel
Def Leppard - Photograph
Guns N Roses - November Rain

and all of U2!

Photograph and/or Rock of Ages - Def Lepard
I'll Melt With You - Modern English
Dr. Feelgood - Motley Crue
Addicted to Love - Robert Palmer
Let's Put the "X" in Sex - Kiss

You'll have to give me some time on this one. This all depends on mood. Do I feel like some Guns n' Roses or Aerosmith. Some Michael Jackson or Modonna. Or maybe some Flock of Seagals or Tears For Fears. So much too choose from. Maybe some Montley Crew or Tom Petty. I'll never be able to do this

Toto - Africa
Queen - I want to Break Free
When in Rome - The Promise

Plenty of other good ones, can't think of any more of my favs right now though...
