This song must be listened to very loudly.

Dark, Addictive, and in several movies including "The Girl Next Door."

Bolton-esque ballad that is great.

Odd but grows on you after second listen.

May be from the 70s. But is too good to leave off this list.

Makes me want to drive along the Pacific Coast Highway.

This Leah girl must be amazing to inspire such a great song. Pure listening bliss.

From 1980. I think Duran Duran stole their style.

Sad, happy, and amazing.

Hot steamy nights alone I wait for you.

this is probably the most overlooked Asia song next to Go!

So we're different colors and we're different breeds and different people have different needs.

I'm a man with a mission a boy with a gun I gotta picture in my pocket of the lucky one

all hail numan the master of electronic music

It's close to midnight and something evils lurking from the dark.

All out 1980s Techno

Loved this when i was younger i'm glad to see they're back

Written for the awesome 1984 film Electric Dreams

You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar

Great song, great band

If MJ wasn't a pedophile, I probably would have put this somewhere in the top 5, but I can't help but include this song, it changed the face of music

U2 had so many good songs in the 80s, they probably deserve more spots in the top 10, but this one was my favorite

The Boss delivers, makes you feel proud to be an American

A song so simple, but so good

How can a person hit notes that high I will never know, good music video as well

Need I say more, Steve Perry is amazing in this song and it's so easy to sing along with

They weren't known for this type of music, but they did an amazing job with it

Hard to imagine that they were able to turn a bad break up into such an awesome song

Most underrated song of the 80s in my opinion, it never gets old for me, so powerful and pure.

A timeless classic...George's haunting voice sounds fantastic on this achingly beautiful gem. Another song where he sounds this beautiful is A Different Corner - absolutely stunning!

Just one of those songs you can't help, but love - I love it! The recent acoustic version is just as good as the original. Also love True Colours and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (my childhood anthem!)

A fun song to dance to...quintessential 80s pop.

Two words... BREAKFAST CLUB - one of my all time FAVOURITE 80s movies.

This has got to be Wham's sexiest song. Those lyrics...man, so dirty! George is soo gay in this video, but oh so sexy! His voice oozes with lust.

I like this one better than Every Breath You Take. Simply stunning!

Sexy, sexy, sexy...love to bump and grind to this one. Oh, is there any other song that just screams SEX!

Whenever I hear this song, I just wanna shake my booty. Damn, it's sexy!

A recent DD convert, I love this band. Ironically, they first got my attention with Ordinary World and Come Undone (90s DD songs). Wild Boys is a devilishly sexy song with a video to match. AVATK is by far the hottest Bond track yet. Oh, and LeBon's voice is terribly HOT!

I think it's such a tragedy that BA is known primarily for his love ballads/film soundtracks when it obvious from the above tracks as well as his concerts that he CAN rock. In my opinion, Reckless (the album that these two awesome tracks come from) is his best. 69 represents everything I believe the 80s to be - fun; innocent (well not quite!); energetic - pure nostalgia. Also, it's the ultimate song to play at full blast on a long road. Run to You is a sultry guitar driven number that together with BA's deathly sexy voice makes me wanna grind my hips. What's more is, BA's voice sounds just as good as it did more than twenty years ago.

A school day reminder, no money at all, but no worries either, takes me back!

How can a group make a class tune like this then dissappear!

Hold me now, runs it close but this just edges it, brillliant!

Great lyrics, great tune, takes me back to being on a YTS scheme, £25 quid a week (and my mum had £20 of it!!!)

One of the best 80's bands, and poss thier finest tune

One hit wonders from 83, but a song that typified the 80's, electro pop at it's best!!

They tried a new kind of sound with this one and It proved to be their best!!, still brilliant today, listen to those guitars!!

Another great summer sound from 82, reminds me of holidaying in Newquay, leaving school and girls!

Their best tune + Clare Grogan was a babe!

Great vocals and a great sound, Definately one of the many great 80's tunes!

What can I say about this song? Let me count the ways... First off, it's a very catchy tune with its guitar riffs and catchy lyrics. Plus, the band in general.. fronted by two guys who have the full grown out beard and Frank Beard, their drummer, doesn't have one (ZZ Top Reference... VH1's I love the 80s). So true. Catchy tune that has me bumping this tune everytime I put on my iPod.

The classic hit from the hit film "Ghostbusters". Did you know that if you listen to the guitar riffs to this song and Huey Lewis and The News' song "I Want A New Drug", they sound almost identical. Seems to be because Huey Lewis took Ray Parker Jr. to court on that issue and I think Huey Lewis won. But, this song has gotten more popularity than Huey Lewis' "I Want A New Drug".

Who could not forget this classic hit from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". This song definately has a spot on my Top 10. Doesn't it make you wanna get up and dance? It does when I play this song at parties.

I am all about making my friends get up and dance. Any dance hit from the 80s can work but this song really works, along with "The Nuetron Dance".

Okay, another big tune from another classic 80s film. Beetlejuice is hilarious and this tune is the film's backbone, especially because the singer sang "Banana Day-O" song during the dinner scene. Essential for any 80s collection. Thank God I have this one.

What can I say? Overall, it's all about the dance factor. If I can dance in my seat while I'm listening to a song, then it's a definite hit to play at parties.

Another classic song. Gotta have this song to pump out at parties, especially the Halloween parties. C'mon, Dead Man's Party. Makes me dance so it should make everyone dance as well.

Another song with a catchy tune. I'm really big on the 80s and this song definately needs to be on any Top 10 list.

I was hooked on this song once I saw the music video with Chevy Chase. It's a really catchy tune.

Michael Jackson's "Thriller" tops my list as one of the greatest songs of all time only because of its awesome music video, directed by John Landis. This song always gets the crowd jumpin' to the dance floor and doing "The Zombie Dance".

Not my favorite, but it's totally fun to dance to.

Classic 80s song that everyone loves.

I love this song.

A great song that still holds up today.

Great song... and really fun to play on Guitar Hero. :)

Of course I put this on the list!

80s classic.

Great song!

This song is awesome.

Best song ever!

Fun to dance to, catchy words

Exactly!

Made me cry

took me to another world

Embraced my gothic youth

First introducition to a favorite band

Okay so you all missed out on their other great music if you didn;t buy their albums!

I thought I had found true love

I had found a writer and singer that I could admire

I thought I had found God

BRENDA 'Shannon' GREENE! If you don't know this song, find it!

Brings back feelings of Childhood.

Touching war story. I Haven't known this song long enough or I would rank it higher! This has pre-Eurythmics electro-sound.

Silver wrapping anyone?

Reminds me of seeing Rainbow Brite on TV, but it's seriously a nice song to me.

Love the original version most, nice atmosphere. Interesting video too.

Good 80's rock sound. Funny video.

Great song and video. Terri Nunn always.

Pure classic. Songs about as old as my memory, superb writting and electronic style.

Loved it then, still like it today. "Felly!"

The Freestyle Queen sounds even more brillant on this track then on Let the Music Play. Just hypnotizing and sensual to the very core. One of the best choruses ever created. Ever....

A freestyle epic with some of the wildest remixes ever! Hot as hell. Get this spinning on the dance floor and I bet those feet would be on fire!

Her backlog is loaded with amazing songs but this is her first single and her finest. A glittery love fest with such a gorgeous pop touch throughout. Brilliant.

A firey song with an intense vocal and arrangement. Nothing like the kind of pop songs you get on the radio. Stevie broke the mold.

A staple 80s classic with great vocals and spinning drum programs and keys. Awesome. It has yet to get remotely old sounding to me.

I saw the video and loved the song and adore the minimal synth feel it has with such passionate vocals out in front. "Should I stay here at the zoo?"

A memorable video and just a kick butt 80s brit pop song with the most amazing remixes (theres like 10!) tagged onto it.

A brilliant song of seduction with total 80s production and great male vs female vocals. The club mix has a long guitar solo explosion for a finale. Love it!

A fantasic mix of pouring electronics and deadpan vocals with amazing lyrics. Never gets old.

One of those songs I thought was the ultimate when I was young in the 80s. I remember hearing it for the first time on the bus. Still is cool as ever! Clerks II thinks so too!

Yes, I'm crazy, but its a great song to "jam" to.

A very obscure group, and I may have either, or both the title, and/or artist name slighty wrong, but what a warm, dark, sultry piece. I wish I could find this on a cd somewhere.

Let's face it, you hear Genesis, you think 80's.

Do I really have to comment on this one?

There's nothing hotter than a song about hot science babe!!!

Awesome intro, and an awesome song following!

Who couldn't fall in love to the love theme from "Top Gun"?

The greatest ballad of the 80's by far

Powerful song, full of passion, and emotion. Things you don't get today, but man could you pull it off, and still be cool the 80's.

Easily the greast song of the 80's, and by far the best video too.

My favorite song ever!

Love it!

The sound haunts me to this day! What good music there was back in the 80's!

All Killing Joke songs are great!

David, Steve, Mick and Richard = JAPAN! One of the best bands EVER!

Great voice!

One of the best DM songs ever!!

Black eyeliner and smeared red lipstick

The bass and the sirens make this song! Catchy tune!

Steve Strange RULES! One sharp dressed man! He was my idol!

This song rocks! I loved dancing to this song at the clubs!

one hit wonder but still great song.

def leppard's best song.

most powerfull and soulfull ballad of alltime.

i love this just because of its music,rhytym even though it is not good at lyrics but great song with unforgettable solo both in the beginning and in between the song.

all thing about this song is just perfect and not a single song was made like it.

i think this george's best song ever and best love song of the 80's.

every time i listen this i can feel like a cowboy.Its true cowboy song with some good music(solo) and great lyrics.

I am from India and was introduced to western music 1 year ago but in this span of time i have listened so much of music and found 80's music best and i am a big fan of bon jovi may be thats why there are two songs of bon jovi is in my list.
