I really hope that you're kidding...


How about, "Paradise City", "Welcome To The Jungle", "Hells Bells", "Thriller" ???


How about anything but this ****.

Take On Me when sung by Reel Big Fish was actually a really good song when it had a MUCH BETTER beat and went faster.

As much as I would love to wade into this discussion, I would probably blow a fuse trying to narrow it down to just 1 song.

My favorite Furs song was always Heartbreak Beat. Butler did some great stuff with his other band, Love Spit Love.

For U2 songs, in my humble estimation, it has to be "Where The Streets Have No Name."

Excellent song. I remember when that song was all over the radio. It was huge in Australia.

Sharrow: Some very good selections from you.
NJ: Great song choice as well
G.O.B. For you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyEybc_mNGA

I really should have called the thread: Best pop song of the 80's?

For me (as you can see) it is "Come on Eileen" and then "Take on Me." Both fantastic pop songs by one-hit wonders.

Haggis may be your man but he is Scottish so donning the Irish jumper may be a bit of a challenge for him!

The 1980's was a defining age for music, especially rock music! JFBM as much of a Bryan Adams fan I am, as many times I have seen him in concert and Summer of 69 I would have to give the nod to as my favorite song of all time and it was a huge hit. But lets not forget the Boss!
