One of the difficult things about this is the idea that "great 80s songs" and "great songs from the 80s" might not always be the same thing. Some top bands probably have album tracks that fall into the latter category but the former might mean those iconic 80s tracks.

I'll have a go at the former, but it could easily be five different ones in an hour, and then again in another hour...

Africa - Toto
Down Under - Men at Work
Heaven is a Place on Earth - Belinda Carlisle
The Power of Love - Frankie Goes to Hollywood
Little Lies - Fleetwood Mac (arguably the greatest song ever written)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Africa is one of the worst and most pretentious/offensive songs ever written.

wrong

I hate 80s music but if I there are the odd classic

1) Personal Jesus
2)There She Goes
3)Games Without Frontiers
4)Ashes to Ashes
5)Running Up That Hill

I have a soft spot for Dire Straits, UB40, ELO, and The Jam because that's what my Dad played.
