In no order and off the top of my head. I didn't peak at anyone else's picks, I just thought of my life in the 80's and whatever came to my mind first is what I wrote down. I love the 80's.
We Got the Beat - Go-Gos Tainted Love - Soft Cell The Reflex - Duran Duran People Are People - Depeche Mode Owner of a Lonely Heart - Yes Urgent - Foreigner Private Eyes - Hall and Oats Pride (In the Name of Love) - U2 Everybody - Madonna When Doves Cry - Prince | |

Hmmm, not be evasive, but that's only 1 song per decade!!
Despite what retro TV programs would have us believe, there were loads of musical movements in the 80s, and certainly more than 1 per decade! I could maybe do a top 50, but WAAA, Top ten, no way! | |

Not in any chronological order:
Irene Cara: Fame Adam & The Ants: Stand & Deliver Michael Jackson: Billie Jean Madonna: Holiday The Police: Every Breath You Take George Michael: Faith Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody Prince: When Doves Cry Bruce Springsteen: Born In the USA USA for Africa: We Are The World not all songs i enjoy or even like, but i think they kind of sum the 80's up. .

Although there has been some debate over the songs we have ended up with a fairly clear cut consensus in regards to the top 10 artists who define the 80's. Those mentioned in many of the posts are:
Prince Michael Jackson Madonna Lionel Richie Duran Duran Whitney Houston Bruce Stringsteen Wham\George Michael Eurythmics The Police Outside of including The Culter Club, Cindy Lauper and Run DMC, it's kinda hard to argue with that list. All are true 80's icons. Bringing Together Five Decades of R&B/Funk/Soul/Dance

The problem is,there were SO MANY artists/groups who defined the 80s,it's hard to narrow it down to just ten songs.But I think intha916's list of top artists is right on the money.Those are the artists who had the most impact on that era.And I did add a U2 song to my list | |
