Heart rox!!!!!!!

good song in any language that it's sung in.

First off, I like Amy Grant's music. Second off, this song reminds me of a certain man I like.

always believe in your soul!

I saw her live recently - she's still got it...

pum pum pum, pa pa pum pum pum! etc etc

My favourite aerobics song

The best stay-at-home-and-wait-for-a-man song

American Express does nicely for me too

This is still my favourite Madge video - love the dance moves

Great lyrics

Loved her white fur coat in the video

My all time fave 80s song - her husband is on Mars but she's still faithful, meanwhile he has it off with a space-station whore

Captures the 80s fear of nuclear war.

Guilty pleasure.

This song has an irresistable chorus.

Tonite I need your sweet caress

The best song on their best LP, Kiss me Kiss me Kiss me

Timeless. As hard as they tried, they never sold out.

Infectious groove, great structure. Perfect pop.

So what all of their songs are in E? No one in this world could not help but love this song.

Best song on the best LP of all time, hands down.

I dont even have to explain this one.

Haven't You Ever Noticed When You Here This Song Start Before A Concert Or In A Bar People Go Nuts?

Trailblazer For The Hair Metal Generation.

For Some Reason, If This Song Comes On The Radio While You're On A Date, You'll Get Some Before The Night Is Over.

No Other Chick Rocks Better!

Ubeen Gleeben Glooben Globin - Nuff Said!

Great Groove, And The Harmonies Are Untouchable. Tells A Great Story Of Never Giving Up.

One Of The Few Songs Your Girlfriend Loves, Yet You Can Enjoy It On Your Own Level With A Pole, A Cold One, And A Naked Girl In Front Of You!

Same Comment As #4. Ok, Maybe Your Girl Doesn't Like This One As Much.

Although Poison Is One Of The All Time Greatest Party Band, Brett Michaels Wrote This One For Anybody Who's Ever Had A Broken Heart. Face It, We've All Sang Along With This At Least Once.

True In Your Face, Kick You In The Nads American Rock 'n' Roll Turned Up To 11!!

This is the sexiest song of all time. What a beat. This songs rocks out.

This is one awesome band.

Madonna best song, and probally original. Everything else is Carbon Blondie wanna be's. Still a great artist.

Yet another Blondie influenced artist. This song was HOT! Sexy and White Hot.

Great song, very catchy new wave record.

This song was they anthem of Alternative Rock in the mid-late 1980's. I know, I was there!!!

This bands debute was HUGE!!! Album sold 4 million copies in the UK. Relax & Two Tribes each sold 2 million UK copies each.

Try Techno Pioneer. This song was a monster hit.

Blondie are the most innovative band in history, when they introduced Rapture, the flood gates busted open. Now Rap is culture.

This was #1 Song of 1980, and #8 Song of the Decade Awesome record....really pushed techno ahead.

What can i say? I love New Order.

The cover by Manson sucked!!!

I'm running out of comments.

Strange, to see this among the other ones....oh well. Still good.

Good song.

The end of the 80's, but still great.

Everyone likes it...i know....but it's still good.

I love INXS...too bad the singer's dead.

A her her her....This song is good too. Love and Rockets are great.

I love this song. Orgy did it great, and Amir is sexy. Of course you gotta love the original.

This was the first single on vinyl my Dad bought for me.

Who doesn't remember this song?

Rockin'!!!!

Like I said, did she ever make a song that wasn't great?

These girls were the best.

Beautiful hard rock song.

Did she ever make a bad song?

This song still makes me feel good.

This is the first video I remember seeing on MTV.

I wish I could find a music store that sold the Stacy Q cassette. Every time I ask they look at me like I'm crazy. She's GREAT!!!

The days when parents sent their kids to the local shop to buy smokes for them. An underplayed classic in an innocent era - great tune.

Ice Skating in Year Seven, I still can't skate!

My favourite Huey song, heaps upbeat, his clips tuning with hot chicks on the beaches remind me of those 80's frat house/ loose screws/ nerd movies I watched and thought I was a true rebel. Go the 80's

His best song and a primary school favourite.

The best build up to any chorus in history - that's what the 80's could do.

The Lyrics, vocals and tune to this underplayed classic smash me, the memories of my cousin playing it tragically on the piano, fantastic.

My favourite U2 song and no 80's list is an eighties list sans U2. It's still sounds modern today.

Another Aussie Band - Just a moving song that I could relate to as a selfish five year old who lost at marbles.

Melbourne band headed by Scott Carne - similar angelic 80's synthesized tune. My Style.

Kiwi Band made it big in England & Oz before Crowded House was even though of. Sensational Tune that tugs at your heart strings over and over.

These guys are sooooo 1980's it hurts....

Note: Group was named before the drug became "chic"

Great song and it's in here cause I'm an elclectic kinda guy.

I had to put one Depeche Moda song on here and this is the one that got my listening to them, still love it today

The Cure in the early days, gotta love it.

I like this song when I've listended to enough Euro Trash Synth Pop.

The best Smiths song although all of work done by Morrissey and Johnny Marr are some of the best music made in the 1980's.

A meeting of the minds between New Order and the Pet Shop Boys, great song.

Joy Division became New Order and they remade this but this version of the song is just flat out beautiful and haunting. Extra creepy cause the singer hung himself.

Still hear it in clubs every now and then, great song.

Few bands embodied the era of pop-metal like Bon Jovi. By merging Def Leppard's loud but tuneful metal with Bruce Springsteen's working-class sensibilities, the New Jersey-based quintet developed an ingratiatingly melodic and professional variation of hard-rock. I loved hearing this tune in the biker movie "Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man."

At a time when rock & roll didn't care about its roots, the Georgia Satellites came crashing into the charts with a surprise hit single to remind everybody where the music had come from. The hit single, 1986's "Keep Your Hands to Yourself," rocked as hard as an old Chuck Berry song, as well as being almost as clever. The Satellites weren't a back-to-basics roots rock band, either -- their straightforward.

The song spent four weeks at number one on the Billboard charts and helped the LP Faster Than the Speed of Night sell over a million copies and debut at number one in the U.K., where the title track also became a hit.

MoreIn a decade fueled by party anthems and power ballads, Poison found a high amount of popularity, with only Bon Jovi and Def Leppard outselling them.

At a time when pop was dominated by dance music and pop-metal, Guns N' Roses brought raw, ugly rock & roll crashing back into the charts. They were not nice boys; nice boys don't play rock & roll. They were ugly, misogynist, and violent; they were also funny, vulnerable, and occasionally sensitive, as their breakthrough hit, "Sweet Child O' Mine," showed.

By playing pure and simple rock & roll without making an explicit issue of her gender, Joan Jett became a figurehead for several generations of female rockers.

Dire Straits emerged during the post-punk era of the late '70s, and while their sound was minimalistic and stripped-down, they owed little to punk. If anything, the band was a direct outgrowth of the roots-revivalism of pub rock, but where pub rock celebrated good times, Dire Straits were melancholy.

Born in the U.S.A., his popular triumph, which threw off seven Top Ten hits and became one of the best-selling albums of all time. This song makes me proud to be an American.

For over 20 years, Bob Seger has been one of the best mainstream rock & rollers in America, developing a distinctive body of honest, hard-rocking songs. I think Tom Cruise dancing to this song is what made "Risky Business" such a comic hit.

Bad To The Bone launched a hot streak that resulted in three more gold albums in the '80s. Featured in the movie "Terminator 2 Judgement Day."

Best song without the make-up

Another great song from AC/DC

Greatest AC/DC song of all time

Shows you that Eddie plays amazing guitar and also shows hez 10 times better than Jimi

Great mix of rock and dance

Best song and album with Cliff Burton

I know, I know. But who cares who sang it, it's a great song.

Listen to the first 35 seconds and you'll know what the 80's were about.

How cool is the intro?

I can't decide which one I like more. There both great songs. The riff in "Dancing" is so catchy, and "Rebel Yell" is great to play in the car really loud.

Say Anything...

Yeaaa, Axel Rose is the greatest.

Greatest 80's band ever. Period.

I looooooove the video for this song. Am I the first person to put this song on the list?

I generally like the Police better that U2, but this song is just great.

C'mon, this song is just too good to be placed anywhere else.

It's all about the hair.

Catchy song out of Australia.

One of the best songs ever, let alone the 80's.

Needs no comment.

Props on using "little people" in the video. They make me proud to be Canadian.

Off key singing and weird music, the essence of 80's music

Everything he does is cool.

Best lyrics.

Who wouldn't want to visit Australia after hearing such a fun song.

One of the best love songs ever written by a Canadian. Recently covered by DJ Sammy and highly successful. Passed the test of time.

I'm not sure if the artist is Alphaville or someone like Brian Adams but I love the song.

I had to sing this before. WH does a better job than I do! :)

No one seems to have heard this song before, except me, but I love it.

Of course.

Kinda weird, but in a good way.

Sad, but still lovely. The 80's version of Mandy Moore and Jonathan Foreman's "Someday We'll Know"

'Nuff said.

Haunting, and ghostlike. Very much a favorite.

It might be I've gotten the title wrong, but if you've heard the song you know which one I mean.

Very romasntic, and can even be DL from RM's ebsite. This song was on his 2nd album and was from 1989, if my memory serves.
