best 80s songs

Jesus and Mary Chain
Felt
The Weather Prophet

Where's Alan McGee these days ?


Felt gets my vote for the best band in 80s anyway.

Not ONE Tears For Fears reference!!

The 80's were defined by one song "Everybody Wants To Rule The World"

My favorite 80's albums:

Back In Black - AC/DC
Judas Priest....Live!
World Wide Live - The Scorpions
Heaven And Hell - Black Sabbath
Raise Your Fist - Alice Cooper
Soundgarden - Louder Than Love
Billy Idol - Rebel Yell
Eliminator - ZZ Top
Permanent Vacation - Aerosmith
Motley Crue - Shout At The Devil
Party Mix - The B52s
Randy Rhoads Tribute - Ozzy Osbourne

There was a lot of great music from REM, the Cult, the Police, Duran Duran, U2, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, the Smiths, etc. It was a great time to get dressed up and go drinking and dancing.

Probably the best songs of the '80s, in my humble opinion: How Soon Is Now?, She Sells Sanctuary, Nemesis, Opportunities, Hungry Like the Wolf, She Blinded Me With Science, P-Machinery, Need You Tonight, Amok!, 8:15 to Nowhere, etc.

I loved British pop music in the 80's.
