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 by Toto is one of the worst and most pretentious/offensive songs ever written.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok that’s twice you’ve said it so you must feel strongly, can you please elaborate?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

To be fair, they say that they bless the rains down in Africa way more than once but we're not complaining about that.

1) Personal Jesus
2)There She Goes
3)Games Without Frontiers
4)Ashes to Ashes

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

Can’t stand Whitney Houston. Fantastic vocalist, but all that vocal gymnastic r n b ballad crap just does nothing for me.

And I love my boy and that's why I'm leaving
I don't want him to be aware that there's
Any such thing as grieving

The Associates 'Party Fears Two'
Tears For Fears 'Pale Shelter'
Killing Joke 'Love Like Blood'
Echo & The Bunnymen 'Bring On The Dancing Horses'
a-ha 'The Sun Always Shines On TV'

But that doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of the surface...

Sun always shines on tv ................ yes

There are a few from the 80’s…
Eyes Without A Face (Billy Idol), Say Hello, Wave Goodbye (Marc Almond’s group-I can’t remember who), Forever Young (Alphaville), Walking On The Chinese Wall (Philip Bailey) & Tougher Than The Rest (Bruce Springsteen-I’m not a fan of his though).

This wasn’t ‘my era’ though.

Police - Russians
Dire Straits - Tunnel of love
Elton John - Sacrifice
David Bowie - Ashes to Ashes
Pink floyd - Wish you were here

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Russians was Sting, not The Police
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wish You Were Here was released in 1975
