# 1 song in the 80's .... according to you? |
|
Flock of Seagulls is pretty good, but "I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight" has to be up there. I know there's beter, but damn its catchy

2. "Once In A Lifetime" by Talking Heads |
|
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack And you may find yourself in another part of the world And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful Wife
And you may ask yourself-well...how did I get here?

not a particularly GOOD song, but it really personified the time period.

13. Bowie's Teenage Wildlife or Joy Divisions' Love Will Tear Us Apart |

Neither one gets much airtime during "I love the 80's" weekends, though...

15. "How soon is now?" by The Smiths |
|
That's right an REM fan giving out some props to the Brits
Although "Driver 8" and "Radio Free Europe" let us sleep at night knowing that the hairbands WOULD be over someday and pretty much established "alternative" as a genre-respectively.
