Anything goes lyrics, with great music behind it

Great song made better by Razormaid

Great beat...easy...nope, won't say it

Taking it down a notch

Great roof down cruising song

One of Graham Dean and Rock Over London's favourites!

Crossing the line of losing clothes and skin!!

Pre-Pop driving dance song

Darker New Order lead precursor

Haunting, even for them!!

Great Song from a great band!

A lot of Emotions coming up when I dance to this great song!

Great Song, great Movie

Great Song, great Movie

I always feel great when I am listening to this song!

Sixteen Candles Rules! This song too!

I love this song!

Great song for 80s Partys!

Great Song for a great movie

I think this is the just best song ever!

Could there ever be a follow up to the Jackson 5 that made anyone dance more than these guys? Maurice Starr found a talent trough here in Bobby Brown, Ralph Tresvant, and the other 3 guys who went on to form Bell, Biv Devoe

How quickly people today want to forget that we all had the headbands and workout outfits going in 1982 when ONJ was telling us to get "Physical", it went number 1 for 10 weeks, and for good reason.

"Strut, pout, put it out"... who could question those words? Exactly what we all wanted from the sexy little Easton, especially if you were a Junior in High School, like I was when she hit number one with this number.

Come on... admit it, who didn't try to do the hand rotating, semi-robotic dance that came along with this video? Catchy mainstream release from the fellas who brought us "The Hurting"... and it went all the way to number 1.

The short version really was not fair for listeners in 1984. The first song requested countless times to be played, "long form", since we all wanted to hear Prince preach, "Dearly Beloved, we r gathered to day to get thru this thing called life." #1 for 4 weeks didn't hurt any either

I chose this for Lionel, despite his other #1 hits, because this song was so simple from "Can't Slow Down" and because it went #3 on the Country Charts as well. Not bad for an African American not named Charley Pride. Lionel owned the 80's and we thank him for his numerous contributions

When Steve Buscemi can parody your song in the 1998 Hit The Wedding Singer, you know you've got a winner on your hands. Sure, they never quite had the success with Gold or Fly For You, that they did with True, but this ballad was definitely a key song of the 80's generation.

This number 1 ballad from the "unusual" Lauper was key to the 80's being about heart and soul, as much as sound and content. Romy and Michelle's Class Reunion has an incredible dance sequence with Mira Sorvino, Lisa Kudrow and Alan Cumming that is simply to die for, while Cyndi plays. If you haven't seen it, you need to... it's epic!

Sure, we all know Michael is the king of the 80's, no question! However, this is his "HIT" of the 80's, hands down... I mean, when you think Halloween Songs, is there any other song that you think of besides Thriller and Monster Mash? Nope, me neither. I talked with a couple of friends of mine in radio, and they say they get 100's of requests a year, during Halloween and the Friday and Saturday of that week, for Thriller, to the point where they play it once an hour, and still get more requests for it. Now that's staying power!

I know, I'm going to get some email on this one, but if you haven't listened to this Top 30 hit from Eddy Grant, the theme song to the 1984 movie of the same name, then don't send those emails just yet. Everyone knows about the success of his #2 hit, Electric Avenue, however it is in Romancing The Stone that we have the greatest portrayal of movie theme in movie song, ever!

Before Mellencamp was a superstar, he released this tender little ditty.

A very underrated song from an equally underated movie. Hypnotizing.

"In the Shape of a Heart" is a close second to this dulcet ballad.

Barely edges "Owner of a Lonely Heart." In fact, the entire album: 90125 is a progressive rock masterpiece.

Melodic title track to the best selling hard rock album in history.

"Thriller" was the first album I ever bought, and this song was the best of all.

Simply rocks.

Best use of a song in an 80's movie. Who could forget John Cusack in "Say Anything..."

Just edges out "All I Want Is You." Both are featured in the film "Rattle and Hum," which has to be the best rock documentary of the decade.

Insightful and catchy. Has enjoyed a resurgence on the radio, after being covered by The Ataris.

Song from "The Lost Boys"

Nik Kershaw is a big singer

Full in emotion

Fantastic song

Song from "The Goonies"

Song from "Footloose"

Depeche mode are great

One in my opinion is their best track but this is strong song and well defined,and kind of like the Every Breath you take of later 80s

Brought hiphop to the pop age, my third favroite hip hop song ever,RIP Jam Master Jay

Sting's coup de grace, psycho song,for a damn good band, too bad diddy ruined it 14 yrs later, great riff ,simple and to the point song

The 80s most dominant woman of 80s, and this is her defining song(though I like take a bow and music better personally)and nile rodgers,the producer of 80s(wild boys,lets dance and this for starters)best female sung song of 80s

Synths, synths and more synths only personal jesus fans can make argument about this song being in top 10, definitive 80s no doubt about it

One of ten best guitar riffs of all time, classic ballad for kick ass band...now for the real question Axl WTF are you doing with buckethead,get back with slash and them

The riff, the song, the hit, and precursor to Eminems lose yourself, underrated song that belongs in top 5

For good or bad, the precursor for ass shaking,boy band making hits,but a damn good song, that is so simple its ridiculous

The only Michael Jackson that in 30 yrs people will say he was the man, about. Great drum track, and definitve R and B song of 80's

Took out the bassline,used linn drum(which is huge sound of 80s and late 70s) and defined the artist no pun intended(though george michael and michael jackson fans can argue this)of the 80s

You can dance to this cry to this or wateva they are sooo versitile

Both gr8 dancing tunes

I got this song on vinyl and it rocks

Can't believe no one has sent this in yet beats "Our House" by far

This song is gr8 to dance to anywhere anytime

This song is sooo catchy

This song is for the square in all of us

This has to be the best song by this band. the film clip waz awesome too

This song just rocks and the film clip is awesomely funny

This song is the best of the best band eva!!!

my fav frankie song, don't know why

just makes me want to dance!

Great song

Went down on my list when Jim Kerr married Patsy Kensit LOL

This is fantastic

I still play this song nearly every day!

Best song ever made

The ultimate wedding song

One of their best

Song from "The Lost Boys", big original soundtrack

I love Nik Kershaw

I don't know why I love this song. lol

Crying song

Song from The goonies

Song from "Footloose", big song, it's a big representation of 80's

Depeche mode are the best

A great ballad with an even better solo

Not far off Love Bites.This is a much more easy listenin and pleasant but not quite the same emotion

Why is this not included in everyones list this is amazing

This is absolutley brilliant,even though they only had 2decent songs

NOVELTY this song is novelty and the geetarin is ace

Bono is brilliant he puts everything into this song this is a slow powerful song

I'm still not sure which I prefer this, or "is this love?" this is rock at its best

Absolute legends the eagles, I usually prefer rockin songs but this is a touch of class (Editor: This doesn't really count, "Hotel California" came out in 1976)

What needs to be said?

Absolutely colossus power ballad,definetly def leps best

I love how Classical orchestration and synthpop are mixed in this song (in the long version).

Near as I can tell, this song is about our repressive society. The 3 notes played on the echoey electric guitar in the background are as awesome as any riff by Hendrix or Gilmour.

This song from the "Xanadu" soundtrack is sadly overlooked, even by E.L.O. fans.

Just a bit of amusing and catchy synthpop. Does anybody else here a budgie squawking in this song?

I don't quite know why I love this song, but I really, really do.

The instrumentation in this song is so mesmerizing I listened to it a dozen times before I noticed what the lyrics were saying. Great video, too.

Another very touching and melodic song.

I used to go into a trance each time I heard this song. Definitely O.M.D.'s peak.

It's really hard to say what David's all-time best song is, but this is my favorite at the moment, a wonderful love song from "Labyrinth."

It's all right. : )

One of the first songs I learned all the lyrics to. Great driving song.

The best video ever made.

Another great driving song. Not mentioned enough

A great 80's ballad.

Picked this over Hold Me Now because this one is rarely picked.

Totally awesome one hit wonder.

Was my favorite 80's song for quite some time. It's slipped a little but it's still great to hear on the radio.

This is the best group ever, unfortunatly they faded in North America. (Editor: Home in Scandinavia too)

Underrated group of the 80's, this song was their best.

First I can't believe this one has hardly been mentioned. Second, I can't believe they consider "It Must Have Been Love" to be better then this one. A lot of people confuse this song for being the sung by the group Heart. It's Roxette at their rock finest.

(Editor: The orginal version "99 Luftballons" was in German)

I love the LiveAid version, it's so hot!!

I like to think this song is about me - how very wrong I am!

It's a good metal song, that I can sing to

I love queen, I want to marry them and bare their children, especially Roger Taylors! (the drummer).

What a grouse song, that's all

I'm liking heavy metal at the moment

It's my motto!

Nikki and Tommy (bassist and drummer) are hot. and its a great song

What a powerful anthem!!! wooo!

Okay, these arent in order, just whatever comes to my ead first!
