Your Favorite 80s Songs?

Richie Rich · #1 02-22-2005, 05:51 PM

Was skimming through the OOT Forum last night, and read how someone was re-playing the 80s hit "Africa" over and over again while completing a paper. It's an good song, don't get me wrong, but I could easily think of 10 songs from the fabulous 80s that were better than that...

Don't Dream It's Over - Crowded House
Danger Zone - Kevin Loggins
Enjoy the Silence - Depeche Mode
Money For Nothing - Dire Straits
In Your Eyes - Peter Gabriel
Our House - Madness
Paradise City - Guns 'N Roses
Relax - Frankie Goes To Hollywood
So Alive - Love and Rockets
Under the Milky Way - The Church

You?

Sad to say, but pretty much all of them... That's what happens when you're 12 years old when MTV comes out and you spend the next 3-4 summers watching nothing but...

Rather than start listing a bunch since I'll not be able to stop, I'm just going to go with:

No One is to Blame - Howard Jones

Every song from that album is better than Africa. Not to take anything from Toto though, by far the best band ever named after a character from Wizard of Oz.

There are a few exceptions, but as a whole the 80's was far and away the worst decade in music.

I don't know, the 1910s didn't do much for me musically.

What other decade has a genre named after it?

That's only because they didn't think "Crap" was appropriate for the kids.
