As many have stated, some really 80s songs, usually come with really 80s movies.
Such as: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gf1WT8VEZxk

Depeche Mode - Just can't get enough

Yazoo - Only you

Inxs - Too many to list

The Outfield - Your love

too much to really list.



 

This is one of my favorite songs from the early 80s.  As far as the songs on the list its definetly Take on Me but my two favorite a-Ha songs from the 80s are The Sun Always Shines on TV and The Living Daylight.  Hunting High and Low is also very good.



I remember it as the dawn for british heavy metal. It was the birth era for bands like Iron Maiden, Saxon, Judas Priest, Diamond Head and many others. It was also a great decade for rock both hardrock and normal rock with bands like ACDC, Dire Straits, U2, Guns n Roses etc. The music out of that era is in my opinion the best ever made.

As for OP the best simple minds song is Belfast Child.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

This song is the one that always sticks out as the most 80's for me.

Toto - Africa

My fav 80's band no doubt is Foreigner. One of the few bands both mom and dad could agree on. LOL

Foreigner - Jukebox Hero

Great thread btw. So many great songs I've forgotten about until now.

"I feel the need....the neeed for speeed!".

The Top Gun movie soundtrack popped into my head today and I can't stop listening to it. So many great songs. If the world ever chose an anthem to call it's own, I would highly suggest the Top Gun Anthem. (Excluding the UN)

Want to bump this. Lots of negativity on the front page, so want to create some positive discussion



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
