Don't know if this has been done before, but I am trying to get some good 80's songs and was wondering what all of your favorites were.

Take On Me

I can't remember the group name. It's very short, like Abba.

that wasnt a countdown for worst songs of all time
it was songs that were awesomely bad, meaning they were good when they came out, but no one knows why

I know of this. Actually it wasn't worst, it was "most awesomely bad." If there was ever a list of most awesomely bad tv networks in regards to list based shows, VH1 would dominate the number 1 spot unmercifully.

If we're going to begin and end this list with one song, it's gotta be Superfreak, biatch.

No way! The Superfreak would kick the crap out of whoever it is that sings your crappy little song (If he wasn't dead, I mean).

All I have to say is Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, radio station Emotion, it has Toto, Mr. Mister, John Waite, Squeeze, Foreigner, Sister Christian, Luther Vandross, Jan Hammer, Animotion, etc.

ps John Waite - I an't missing you = best song ever.

I think the worst part about this song was the let down when you realized that this band used to be Jefferson Airplane. Quite a long ways from Height St.
