The Clash - Police On My Back, Somebody Got Murdered, Know Your Rights, Rock the Casbah, Should I Stay Or Should I Go, This is England, We are the Clash

Anything Van Halen, especially "Right Now", "Dreams" "Panama" and "Runnin With the Devil"

Boston - "Amanda" and "Hollyann", pretty much their only good 80's songs, their good stuff was in the 70's and a couple good songs in the 90's

AC/DC - Shook Me All Night Long

Springsteen - Glory Days, Brilliant Disguise, Born in the USA


Lol and when doing research for this I saw a site that put London Calling in 1982...it's 1979 dumbasses (VH1)

Raspberry Beret Prince

Love this song and Prince for that matter. I wish he would stop being a douche and banning music from youtube.

And Blondie! I love her! Please excuse me if someone already posted her:

Heart of Glass

Call Me

One Way or Another

I know some of these are late 70s (79) but please make an exception Montana!

You people have good taste and are picking out the small proportion of good music in a generally poor decade.

My picks:

David Bowie - Ashes to Ashes

RHCP - Fight Like a Brave

The Clash - Rock the Casbah

Peter Gabriel: Shock the Monkey

Master Of Puppets - Metallica
Welcome To The Jungle - Guns 'N Roses
Dr. Feelgood - Motley Crue
Among The Living - Anthrax
Peace Sells - Megadeth
Raining Blood - Slayer

Still some of my favorite songs to this day.

Early 80's greatness by The Jacksons with epic music video.  Also if I could post something by Price then I would post all the songs from the Purple Rain album which is his his best work and one of the best albums of the 80s and all time.

Master of Puppets!

I am an old guy.  So old that I spent some of my teen years in the 80's.  So old that I remember when MTV came out.  You get my point...

I am very much from the 80's and while I love all of the 80's pop music, I am a metal head.  The picks previous picks of AC/DC and Iron Maiden were awesome, but when people start saying that Metallica is the best I direct them to a much better band that plays similar music.  Their name is Megadeth and they wrote what I consider to be the greatest speed metal song of all time and it's also kind of my theme song.  If you want to know what Amp316 is really like, listen to the lyrics of the masterpiece:

Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?

My man Amp.

Love Megadeth. I could never really get into a band like Metallica. Even their supposed masterpiece (Master of Puppets) really bored me, maybe because they take themselves too seriously. But I could listen to Rust in Peace any day. I mean, technically it's a 90s album, but the point is Megadeth is the best.
