Just to name a few. Hard to narrow it down though, many more come to mind.

As you can tell, New Wave is what I think of when I remember the '80's.

Funny thing is, back in those days I was a headbanger (Motley Crue, Iron Maiden, Ratt, etc.). I still like those bands, but it's New Wave that makes me the most nostalgic.

I want to break free - Queen
Fade to black - Metallica
Learning to fly - Pink Floyd
Run to the hills - Iron Maiden
Back in black - AC/DC

Dick Starbuck took one of mine - Pale Shelter by Tears for Fears. I'm a hip hop/soul and r&b guy but I was also into the New Wave groups like Duran Duran, Tears for Fears and OMD. So I'll categorize my favourites

[ROGER O. THORNHILL]

"I'm Christ in Shades"

There's nothing, nothing that says 80's to me more than this.

Maybe it was the time, maybe it was the place, maybe it was waking up in a burnt out barn with a gorgeous girl I'd never met before and this was blaring out of my car.

Ah the 80's: the decade of great music and crappy videos (or at least that's the way they look now!). Dick Starbuck selected a few that I like, and here's my contribution.

[herames]

Fucking anthems for me >>>
The Smiths "How Soon Is Now?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_U5HpeA_WSo
(quote)" i am human and need to be loved...just like very one else does..."

U2 - Where The Streets Have No Name http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpVbLm4TN3g
(quote) "i want to run..i want to hide...i want to teardown the walls only inside..."

U2 BAD Live Aid 1985 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHnXOSxka1Q
(quote) "if you twist and turn away...tear yourself in 2 again..."

 

[Aardvark154]

This makes me feel way too old. Those were in many ways the bad old/good old days when we very much knew the pattern of the world.

Petshop Boys - West End Girls
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwNmxk9sT9w&feature=related

Swingout Sister - Breakout
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXL9AkXzlt8

Nena - 99 Luftballoons
I hate the song, but in may ways it was the classic song of the early 80's (she was proved utterly wrong - still there were a lot like her)

Only Time will Tell - Asia
