Your ONE 80's song that defined the decade

[Maria]

It´s hard to pick - but I think of Madonna when I remember the 80´s... I was going to 15 year old parties (like sweet sixteen, but for 15) Material girl, Into the Groove, etc., and we were dancing her songs along with........Cindy Lauper´s!!
...and Michael Jackson on his original skin tone! lol
...and Wham, A-Ha, etc etc etc

I didn't grow up in the 80s... well I did, but I was only 6 when we entered 1990... but I LOVE 80s music... and it was basically the core of our Spring Break... I'm thinking Quiet Riot - Metal Health... or maybe Cinderella - Gyspy Road...

 

[Dukeblue1016]

OH...

And the Karate Kid theme song...

 

[SweetMagic]

There is sooo much great music from the 80's....how to pick just one!?! For me I think it's gotta be Journey, Open Arms. Bon Jovi, Livin' On A Prayer comes in a close second too :animwink:

Ok, and I haven't even clicked "Submit Reply" yet and already I'm hearing Steve Perry's voice in my mind...ah geeze...

*opens new web page to go find Journey music*

 

[erasure fan1]

I love 80s music! My song would be either:
A little respect or Oh lamour from erasure, I cant decide.

 

[prberk]

LOVE LOVE LOVE that movie....:sohappy:

Uh oh Maggiegrace, are you showing your age by loving "Urban Cowboy"?

:lookaroun

Ha ha. I like it, too....

 

[prberk]

OH...

And the Karate Kid theme song...

Are you talking about Bananarama's "Cruel Summer"? I love that song...

Of course, I had a crush on Daniel-son's girlfriend, too, at that time... just like he did when that song was played (as he fell down watching her do cheering)... Ahh, memories.

Art Of Noise - Moments In Love

this song will NEVER get old it always seems to find its way back into the current music,it has to be the most sampled song in the hip hop genre as well

and to hear it performed live is amazing,here it is as performed in 2000..gotta love the guitar addition

We're not gonna take it
NO! We ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it...any moooooore.

Seriously, though...it is Don Henley's "Boys of Summer". Always reminds me of college.
