There are so many great songs of the 80's, but as it would take forever to write them all down, so for now, try one of these.

Since I like most of the songs listed... "Here I Go Again" Whitesnake  8)

"In The Air Tonight" Phil Collins second.

WHAT! No, Duran Duran. I can't just pick one. So any song by Duran Duran. ;D

none of those. 

Good question Fluffy, but you don't know these people. You should have included an "Other" option because you're going to get a hundred different songs!
(And 70 of them will be by Depeche Mode)

Only one?

Okay, for me at 10:50 PM on a Sunday night, I'm going with...

Ah! Leah! by Donnie Iris (1980)

Sure he doesn't look like your average rockstar but it's a great song from him.


;) ;D

Yeah...Duran Duran would've have been my choice. But with what the list had I went with True Colors.

Okay, those are like the strangest poll choices ;D  Why did you choose those to list?  Just curious. ???

And I didn't pick any of them :P

None of them.  I don't even know some of them.

Cyndi lauper...Time after time!

Of the songs listed, I went with Captain Sensible's "Wot!" :) But there are soooooo many other great songs from the eighties. Songs by such great bands as Depeche Mode, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, The Smiths and Ultravox...all of whom were sadly missing from the list!

Absolutely Vile

Hmmm, I went with Phil Collins, "In the Air Tonight". "Time After Time" comes in second.

Rio

Out of the choices provided "Here I Go Again".

Yeah, while I agree there were more songs from the 80's that were greater than those I chose In the Air Tonight as well.  Brings back some fond, fond memories for me. ;)  And I would have picked Time after Time as a second as well.

Down Under one of the best songs of the 80's.

:P

Hmmm...  ???

Of these choices, the best is "In The Air Tonight" IMO.  But not the best song of the 80's...

Interesting choices to choose from...

I know all these songs Fluffy ! ;)  It makes a nice change. :)

I'm probably giving the one and only vote to 'Reckless' by Australian Crawl.

Have to go with Phil Collins on this one.

A vote for Oz Crawl!!!  Good choice Mandamoo.  The haunting sound of the bass guitar in that song is what does it for me.  The film clip is equally impressive.  If you're into Aussie Crawl, you should check out James Reyne's new album "Speedboats For Breakfast"....well worth a listen.

Fluffy 8) ;)



Thanks Fluffy ! I'd say 'Reckless' is one of their best songs, if not THE best......however, I can't recall the film clip.  I actually saw that CD today when I was out and about. Thanks for the tip ! ;)

Yes me too!  Fluffy is obviously an Aussie!  I love Reckless but another favourite by Australian Crawl is "Boys Light Up :)

Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper

Considering song AND video, I selected "In the Air Tonight". I did like "Here We Go Again" for its video, but the song was somewhat forgettable for me. Same with "Cradle of Love" by Billy Idol. The video sold the song.

I voted "Time After Time" by Cyndi Lauper, but I think the Best Song in the 80's is...

"Shout" by Tears for Fears

        I think Cheap Trick's song "Surrender" is a great 80's song :).....
                                            -Jenny ::)

Good pick, RnRPrincess, just wrong decade. "Surrender" is a '70s song. Give another please...

:) ;)

              Silly me :D!  What about 'Open Arms" by Journey? Thats a classic... ;)
                                          ~Jenny~

Among your narrow range of choices:

I went with
Men At Work: Down Under
Runners up
Phil Collins: In the Air Tonight
Cyndi Lauper: Time After Time

"Down Under" really is a great song.  I can't imagine it even getting near the charts today.

I picked *Time After Time*...but would have liked to see some Culture Club on up in there!  :D

Out of that bunch I like Whitesnake the best....but there are SO many more :)

i thought i knew music pretty good. until this poll!!!! Some of these songs are like "huh"? But if i had to pick from these songs probably "down under". even songs from their 2nd album were pretty cool though didn't chart as high.

Okay, for me at 10:50 PM on a Sunday night, I'm going with...

Ah! Leah! by Donnie Iris (1980)

Sure he doesn't look like your average rockstar but it's a great song from him.


;) ;D




haven't thought about that one in years..i still have it on my "Certified Gold" album...good song  :)

I'll pick "In The Air Tonight" out of that bunch since it would take me a week to decide on my true favourite from the 80's...
Fluffy,seeing "Wot!" by Captain Sensible on your list made me smile    ;D

Don't call me Fluffy......Say Captain! ;D

Wot d'you want!" ;D

Fluffy. 8)



lol  ;D

Don't call me Fluffy......Say Captain! ;D

Captain!
ok,so I uploaded "Wot!" to my MP3 player the other day to take with me on my run...fun blast from the past!  ;)

It doesn't matter what season it is, I still listen to my cd single of

"Do They Know It's Christmas?" by Band Aid.

It has a great line-up of artists and great music too. Love the video also.

oops sorry,just realized there isn't an "other" option.

Any song by Nik Kershaw..there are too many to choose from...
