No one listed one Madonna song.

Girls just wanna have Fun.

What about Culture Club

Chameleon or Do you really wanna hurt me.

What about:
"A little ditty, about Jack and Diane"

Loved John Cougar Mellancamp.

and also what about the Boss?

You couldn't turn on the radio without hearing Born in the USA.

and how about Duran Duran...Hungry like the Wolf.

And what about I hear the secrets that you keep... when you're talking in your sleep.

Gosh I miss the old MTV when they actually played videos.

Awwww shit, you hit it with "Jam on It" and to the poster above me, what makes your choices any more realistic than anyone elses. A bit arrogant, dont you think? Everyone has different taste but great choices nonetheless. Brought back some good memories.
