Favorite 80's Song

[sodamntired]

what is it?

for me: Safety Dance by Men Without Hats

 

 

you're turn(s)

[borntohula]

killing joke - eighties

[Some Random]

each one of these artist has more than one song i'd consider my '80s favorites', but here one favorite from each.

 

dead kennedys - moon over marin

 

black flag - damaged I

 

bad religion - i want to conquer the world

 

stevie ray vaughan - lenny

 

or did you mean the stereotypical 80s garbage that i hate, cuz i don't have a favorite one of those. okay...maybe hip to be square.

[Ravenous megin-sane]

how can man over marin be your favourite dead kennedys song?

 

mine would be...

dead kennedys - california uber alles

or

minor threat - straight edge

or

leo sayer - you make me feel like dancing

[Some Random]

how can man over marin be your favourite dead kennedys song?

 

mine would be...

dead kennedys - california uber alles

because it's favorite 80s song, and i was pretty sure that fresh fruit was released in 79, though i just looked it up and it was released in 80. i like holiday in cambodia more than california uber alles anyway. i never really listen to the studio version of either of those, just the live ones from mutiny on the bay. which is still live in the 80s. anyway, i love all of plastic surgery disasters, more than the other dead kennedys stuff, and i just tried to pick one song.

[Ravenous megin-sane]

my favourite dead kennedys album... bah. i'd have to say fresh fruit or plastic surgery.

 

but the studio verison of california uber alles is fantastic. bleed for me is also a great song.

[Muran]

I super hate 80s music.

 

Is Sweet Dreams an 80's song?

 

or I love "Walking on Broken Glass" by Annie Lennox...

[garsk]

how can you hate 80's music when it gave us "safety dance"

[mrs jesus]

nasty boys - janet jackson

 

but that's only 'cause it would take 6 hours to list all the 80s hairband songs i'm having babies with, and then i'd have to list all the stevie nicks...

[shade]

The Cure - Plainsong

 

too many good ones

[here is no why]

probably something from REM or the Pixies... the Stone Roses might have one of my favourites too.

[Some Random]

nirvana's bleach came out in '89, so love buzz qualifies as one of my favorites. i'm aware it's a cover song. i've never heard the original.

[Shiri]

Excluding bands I love many songs by them like The Cure, The Smiths and a bunch more. Here are some one hit wonders (sort of) that I like:

 

Dramarama - Anything, Anything

Eurythmics - Here Comes The Rain Again

Cheap Trick - Surrender

The Church - Under The Milky Way

The The - Kingdom Of Rain

[Audio of Being]

With or Without You- U2

Message In A Bottle- The Police

Anything She Does- Genesis

Sledgehammer- Peter Gabriel (also one of the best videos from the 80s)

Take On Me- A-Ha
