“Dear God” by XTC

Nice playlist. The new Queen movie is incredible btw.

Cat People (David Bowie)
Back in Black the whole album.

Where is the most iconic song of the eighties.....Take On Me....still being sung today by a-ha. They are still together and doing live gigs unlike any of the others on your list....most are either dead or long forgotten. Any list of the eighties must have them on it, either it or The Sun Always Shines On TV. As for the parody of Take on Me left by someone below....I’m speechless! Here is the real thing from Top Of The Pops on BBC TV Take on Me in 1985 and The Sun Always Shines On TV in 1986.

I can contribute a few, the 80’s were a time when I listened to a lot of music...

1. Eye of the Tiger - Survivor
2. Jump - Van Halen
3. Sailin - Christopher Cross
4. Easy Lover - Phil Collins
5. Off the Wall - Michael Jackson
6. We Close Our Eyes - Go West

I stopped listening to music in the 80s. I was well into jazz and bluegrass by then...so can't help you.

Only a few million songs to choose from but here goes

Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne
Panama - Van Halen
You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC
Don't Stop Believen' - Journey
Here I Go Again - Whitesnake
Gypsy Road - Cinderalla

Sorry, couldn't get out of the rock stuff before I'd used up my 6

Well I do make sure to play "dear god" by XTC when I'm dropoing off my son to his religious mother. other than that several songs from Tom waits are from that time, along with gwar.

I'm more of a 60s and 70s person
