Your BEST 80's tune(s)...
Go on then - embarrass yourselves! Top 80's tunes you still love to hear 
What are your "you know you shouldn't, but you love em anyway" tunes from the greatest decade of music
I just heard one of mine - which prompted this thread;
Jefferson Starship - Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now
More to be added, but thats to get you started

Talk Talk... Its my Life
Frankie goes to Hollywood.... Relax
Eurythmics... Sweet Dreams
Visage.... Fade to Grey
Psychedelic Furs... Pretty in Pink
These songs sum up the 80's for me anyway.
Laura Brannigan Self Control is fooking

You know what i like about the music from the 80's probably sounds fucking stupid but the diction (if thats means the words were clear??) was always pretty much perfect on near enough all the songs

I'm only 22 but some seriously good music came out from the 80's. Using new technology etc like computer music, drums and strange noises.
Love it!
But I'm glad I didn't grow up in that era at the same time
