What is your favorite 80s song?
Probably asked before but eh. I am just making an 80s playlist and wanted to hear what some of your favorite songs were! So far I got some petshop boys on there, madonna, dead or alive, billy idol and falco.

Bangles. Walk like an Egyptian. Crocodiles snap their teeth on your cigarette.
Lauper “When you were mine”.
I can’t believe I just got rick roll’d yet again
@elchoopanebre awww dude i came in here with the intention of posting that. way to steal the obvious answer.
Anything by Twisted Sister.
asmonet, YES. Also Revenge of Vera Gemini.
Omit Heart & Joan Jett. Also skip Prince & Wham. And please, no Elton John.
First one that came to mind is “Shipbuilding” by Elvis Costello. Not exactly playlist material.
Based on how many times I’ve suspected I’ve listened to these songs (and LURVED them!) since they were released, it’s going have to be one of the following:
I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do) by Hall & Oates from Private Eyes (1981)
little america by R.E.M. from Reckoning (1984)
Life and How to Live It, again by R.E.M. from Fables of the Reconstruction (1985)
It’s Nearly Africa by XTC from English Settlement (1982)
I Started Something I Couldn’t Finish by The Smiths, a single (1987)
Steve Miller Band – Abracadabra
Soft Cell – Tainted Love
Frankie Goes To Hollywood – Relax
:D
Oh my god. Krystal, marry me. I didn’t see your quip when I was writing mine.
Cars are all good & aprilsimnel’s list is all good except for Hall & Oates. REM definitely. Period Aerosmith works too. A must-have is Toys in the Attic.
Yes. Men at work & Flock of Seagulls. Nina Hagan “99 Luftballoons”.
Hehe :P
flock of seagullssssssssss! Oh man, I loved that guys crazy hair.
Oh, almost forgot my hometown boys!
Blister In The Sun by the Violent Femmes (1983)
ANYTHING by the TALKING HEADS!!!!!!!!!
Rolling Stones Some Girls & Tatoo You albums.
Playing With the Boys by Kenny Loggins from the Top Gun Soundtrack

I heart the 80’s…
Prince – Kiss
B52s – Love Shack
Madonna – Lucky Star
Corey Hart – Sunglasses At Night
LKidKyle1985, give us your playlist when you’re done so we can duplicate.

@asmonet your love is by far my favorite… Followed by anything by drama-ramma.. Then the cure boys don’t cry
No Safety Dance and no Village People, but everything tennesseejac said is all good. Devon. Werewolves of London.
lmao, fiiiiiiiiiiine, no safety dance!
Oh, c’maaan! We can dance if we want to! :D
Back in the 80s themselves, I had Thethethethe RE-FLEX! on repeat. And Synchronicity II. And Stand And Deliver.
Alright thanks everyone for the help, This play list consists of most of the songs I hear at a Ladies 80s night I go too a lot, So they are more oriented toward being able to dance to them. Hope you all like it and feel free to throw your own 80s night party with this play list :P Enjoy!
Anything from The Cure… Thanks for reminding me of my teenage years!
Also, The Smiths only if you are depressed though
I second the motion, or the finger as it were. Police. Everything she does is magic.
Tenderness by General Public
Don’t get me going, or I’ll soon be known as 80s kid ;)
@tennesseejac Jane Says: I’m done with Sergio, he treats me like a ragdoll.
For some reason I forget that my favorite band of all time is from the 80s. They are timeless to me.
Almost anything by the Eurythmics.
Morrissey Everyday is Like Sunday.
the way you make me feel – michael jackson
Herbie Hancock: Rockit
Rockwell: Somebody’s Watching Me. w/ Michael Jackson singing backgrounds on the chorus…classic and in heavy rotation when I throw down at my Halloween reunion parties every two years
