Songs that typify the 80's:
Too Shy-Kajagoogoo, because it reeks of 80's cheesiness
Twilight Zone-Golden Earring, representing the European sound
Don't You Want Me-Human League, the quintessential synthesizer song
Billie Jean-MJ, because no 80's list is complete without a song off of Thriller

Money For Nothing, Take On Me, One Night In Bangkok, Video Killed The Radio Star
This was a tough one--there are too many 80s songs that I like.

My 80's choices would be
Take On Me by Ah Ha
Rockit by Herbie Hancock
Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel
4. Don't Stop Believing - Journey
3. Like A Prayer - Madonna
2. 1999 - Prince
1. We Are the World - USA for Africa
Jamie R
Malcolm - I like your choices and I can't fault anyone for their's, but here's my idea of the Mt. Rushmore of 80's rock. Todd M.
TalkingHeads-Burning Down the House
Madonna-Live To Tell
U2- With of Without You
The Specials- Ghost Town
Penny: Thanks for weighing in... Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" seems to have grown in stature over the years. The piano intro is one of my favorite openings.
Candy: Thank you! Love Will Tear Us Apart... good choice.
Jamie: I considered both "We Are the World" and "1999" for my list. I sometimes wish that Mt. Rushmore had more than four faces.
Todd: Your choice of "Live To Tell" surprises me. I say that because I didn't know you cared much for Madonna. To me, the outstanding "With or Without You" is the moment when U2 became U2... I hope that makes sense.
