It was an unusual decade of music... anything from it you like or that gets stuck in your head?

Right now I've got "Your the Best Around" or whatever it's called from Karate Kid stuck in my head. lol.

I also happen to have fond memories of "We Built This City, Safety Dane and Final Countdown."

lol. Yes, I'm only 21.

How did you get Your the Best Around or whatever it is called from Karate Kid stuck in his or her head Where did you find the Best Around or whatever it is called from Karate Kid stuck in his or her head? Next question? Don't be so modest. I meet a lot of 21 year olds on here.

Congratulations Cloud, I think that's one of the most incoherent, dumb things you've ever said!

Excellent topic! I'd have to agree with Europe and Final Countdown- heard it the other day and just pumped it.

course Pink Floyd had "Another Brick in the Wall"
Queen had "another one bites the dust"
Micheal Jackson had billie Jean and BAD among others many many others--- and "Every breath you take" by The Police, cant forget that.

oooooo- and irene Caras "What a feeling" love it!

course there was also "Sweet Dreams" by Eurythmics, "total eclipse of the heart" by Tyler, loggins "footloose", (a personal fav )Duran Duran "REACH UP FOR THE SUNRISE", Turner had "whats love got to do with it", Simple minds had the classic teen one "dont you forget about me", Berlin had top gun's "take my breath away", Bon jovi had awesome "you give love a bad name", bob mcferrin had "dont worry be happy" and
of course Billy Joel had "We Didnt start the fire"

Madonna, Prince, Van Halen, Phil Collins and Paul McCartney all had good stuff peppered throught the decade.

oooooooh and Blue Monday by New Order--- and Guns N Roses! and U2!!! and id better shaddup now.... ive got too many favs to name here.

Gosh! 80's!!

When MTV actually showed... music?

I couldn't possibly pick out a favorite, but among the 15 hours of mp3s on my machine at work are tons of these songs. Lots of em are really kind of dopey little songs, but they were intensely sing-along-able. Think "Shout" by Tears for Fears. I have fond memories of zipping up and down I-95 in parts of Maine with the Spouzal Unit, singing this dumb ditty at the top of our lungs

"Take on Me"... (can she hit the low note at the beginning... can he get squeaky enough for the high note at the end...) Whee! good times.

And anything and everything by Heart.

Oooh and a little-known personal favorite, just because we spent so many midnights in line with nutwads dressed like the characters in Rocky Horror... "I Do the Rock" by Tim Curry.

Oooo the 80s... I think the songs I get stuck in my head from the 80s are mostly the tunes from the Breakfast Club soundtrack!

Though Blackmegabyte mentioned most of the other ones I tend to like too - I still like New Order... hahaha... "Bizarre Love Triangle" by New Order was great too.

I'll stop cuz I could name so many... lol!!

I totally agree with Baakay anything by Heart...Especially 'Magic Man'
'Total eclipse of the heart' also gets my vote.... With a little bit of Kate Bush thrown in.

Adam and the Ants aren't far from my memory despite my age... Stand and deliver!

Oh and "You Spin Me Round" by Dead or Alive.

And not forgetting Bonnie Tyler. I remember when I was quite small going on holidays to Devon and my mum used to put a tape on in the car with random 80s/early 90s songs. I always liked "Holding out for a Hero" best.

Hm... too many that I like since it's one of my favourite decades for music... Blue Monday, Tainted Love... And Zerospace, I love the Breakfast Club soundtrack! ^_^ I only saw that movie within the last couple of years and loved the music. And to find it has my favourite Simple Minds song on there too is a bonus.

Can't miss out Pat Benatar's All Fired Up from this list either. n.n

Gabe's just made me want to listen to some Dire Straits now. *rummages through CDs*

Ok, so now... I have "You Spin Me Round" stuck in my brain along with "Holding out for a Hero" ...

Oh yeah, and top those two off with the Weird-Al rendition of Money for Nothin'

nothing quite like the synthesized sounds of the 80s.... nyah!
