When In Rome's "The Promise" is way up near the top of my list.

Too many to choose from, though, music from the 80s is my fav.

All time favorite? Probably Modern English - I Melt with You.

But, I still stop and listen when Don't Stop Believing by Journey comes on. Then there's New Order, Billy Joel, Prince ...... Its' too hard to pick just one.

Oh wait! In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel. Maybe that's my favorite..... Oh wait! Then there's U2... It's too hard, I can't pick one.

I can't pick one, but it would almost certainly be something by either Iron Maiden or Rush or maybe Magic Power by Triumph.

Oh wow, there's just so many for me to choose from...

I loved so much music from the 80's. I loved Wham, and this is one of my favourites...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6JkbTegpMI I'm Your Man

I also loved the Eurythmics...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7HCR7BZXlE I Need a Man (I just so love Annnie Lennox)


And as much as I have grown to dislike Madonna, this one still remains my favourite 80's Madonna song...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvRttd5ESx8 Live to Tell

And of course the delightful Cyndi Lauper's True Colours http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UK7HS...eature=channel

I might come back later when I've thought of a few more

I loved Depeche Mode.
There are others that I think of fondly as well. Peter Gabriel, Wham, Madonna.

Peter Murphy - Cuts You Up (which technically was released in 1990 but is still sooo 80s)
Love and Rockets - So Alive
Siouxsie and the Banshees - Peekaboo
Book of Love - pretty much anything by them
Depeche Mode - ditto
The Cure - ditto

I was a big Prince follower, including all his proteges (The Time, Family, Sheila E., etc.)

Big Genesis fan, too.

I LOVE Peter Schilling's one hit wonder "Major Tom" - you know, the "4, 3, 2, 1 Earth Below Us, Twisting Falling..."

Best song ever to dance to at 80's night at the bar.

For me, "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel is my hands down favorite, and I'm still a huge PeterG fan. I am also really partial to "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure.

So many good songs and artists out there from this time...... was that really 20 years ago that I got my drivers license and was listening to this music? Oh my!

Anything by Depeche Mode :

Boys Don't Cry-The Cure

(yes I'll admit this-) Love Shack-B-52's

I Ran-A Flock of Seagulls

wow...so many more. I love 80s music!

Falco. DH listens to this sometimes.

I was a teenager in the 80s and I don't like most 80s music at all. Over 90% of the pop and or "new wave" that came out in the 80s grated on my last nerve. It's awful being middle-aged, because now all the stuff I hated as a teen is getting heavy rotation on the grocery store and restaurant circuit. Fortunately, I get a break at Christmas time, but it will all be back in a few weeks (once the 9,000 "Top X songs ever/of the year/decade" countdowns for New Years come to an end).

A-Ha - Take on Me. You know, the one with the music video that's half cartoon half live people? Yep. It was my all time favorite. Though I really liked George Harrison's Got My Mind Set On You.

(bear in mind these were mid- to late-80s, when I was under 8 years old and very much in love with VH1.)

I was a teenager in the 80's and I hated 80's music then. My siblings were all older and I was pretty much raised on 60's and 70's music, and no disco allowed, lol. I didn't start liking 80's music until recently.
Weird, I know.

I don't think it's that weird. There's still a lot of it that I can't stand, but overall, I'd say I like most of it better than I used to.

I won't be held responsible for my actions the next time I find myself subjected to "Too Shy" while I'm trying to eat, though...
