So list me some of your favorite or most hated songs from the 80's.

I'll start:

Anything by Oingo Boingo sucks bad enough to need a warning lable.

True, it seems that a number of these songs mentioned were released in the late 70s, but wouldn't they still be suitable for an 80s party?

I am too young to have heard these songs in the 70s, but I sure heard them a lot in the 80s.

Quoted: Quoted: The 'Mexican Radio' song, not sure who did it. Wall of VooDoo! Yeah I am a total 80's nerd!

"Camouflage" was a great song, tho.

And Turbo Lover was not a bad song, either.

I would agree with most of the rest, however.

Rock Me- Great White
