Uuuuuh. How about Rio by Duran Duran? |

Probably something from The Police, but there's so many to choose from so, i'm not sure which one.
ETA: I was gonna say one, but i'm still not sure.

My vote goes to any Journey song. Nothing better for rubbing up against the babes at the middle school dances back then (I was in middle school too at the time.)

ONE song that's the best of the best decade in music??
Oh hell that's impossible. Okay, here's one - "Money For Nothing", Dire Straits (edited - "moving in stereo" wasn't in the 80s) |

Highwayman by The Highwaymen. I could listen to that one song all day.
Or if I'm driving, Twilight Zone by Golden Earring. |

 I vote for "Detatchable Penis" by King Missile, or "Fantasy" by Aldo Nova. |

I just bought a Johnny Cash album that had that song on it. I hadn't heard it in a long time and I sat down and listened to the lyrics. After the song ended all I thought was, "Drugs are bad, mmmkay?" I mean, the song is okay for the first three verses, but that last verse goes way out into moonbat territory: "I fly a starship across the Universe divide And when I reach the other side I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can Perhaps I may become a highwayman again Or I may simply be a single drop of rain But I will remain And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again..." Dude, put down the hash pipe.

Cheap Trick was a helluva good band. "Surrender" and "Dream Police" are great sing out loud tunes. Rock n Roll
....and props to Dolomite for the "Surrender" reset |

Artist: Gary Numan Lyrics
Song: Cars Lyrics Here in my car I feel safest of all I can lock all my doors It's the only way to live In cars Here in my car I can only receive I can listen to you It keeps me stable for days In cars Here in my car Where the image breaks down Will you visit me please? If I open my door In cars Here in my car I know I've started to think About leaving tonight Although nothing seems right In cars |

How about "One Thing Leads To Another", by The Fixx? I always dug their music, but there's no way I could pick just one best song from the 80s.

Joy Division: Love Will Tear Us Apart
this song embodies the 80's for me Love will tear us apart When routine bites hard and ambitions are low. And resentment rides high but emotions won't grow. And we're changing our ways taking different roads. Love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. Why is the bedroom so cold turned away on your side? Is my timing that flawed our respect run so dry? Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives. Love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. Do you cry out in your sleep, all my failings expose? Gets a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold. Why is it something so good just can't function no more? Love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again |

Just barely...1989 IIRC. ETA: I was mistaken...according to Wikipedia, it was 1992. My Army and college years are just a blur. Sorry. I replace Detatchable Penis with "Turn Up the Radio" by Autograph. |

I like the Soundtrack to Valley Girl in 1982 mostly because I had a crush on Deborah Forman who played Nicolas Cages girlfriend.
I Melt With You - Modern English Moving forward using all my breath Making love to you was never second best I saw the world thrashing all around your face Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace I'll stop the world and melt with you You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time There's nothing you and I won't do I'll stop the world and melt with you (You should know better) Dream of better lives the kind which never hate (You should see why) Dropped in the state of imaginary grace (You should know better) I made a pilgrimage to save this humans race (You should see why) What I'm comprehending a race that long gone bye (I'll stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you (I'll stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time (Let's stop the world) There's nothing you and I won't do (Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you |
