    Top Songs from the 80's?

    What is your favorite song of the 80's? I really like Im Gonna Be 500 Miles by the Proclaimers. I have been a fan of theirs for the past 20 years and I really enjoy watching their transformation through out the years. They just came out with a new CD called Life With You which I think is some of their best work they have put out so far. If you want to check out what they have been up to all these years, you can go to their myspace (http://www.myspace.com/theproclaimers). Check out the contest they have going with Jeremy Fisher at Jeremy Fisher/The Proclaimers Tickets Contest. If you enter, you have a chance to win tickets to see The Proclaimers and Jeremy Fisher live!

    There were no good hit songs in the 80's.

    Just kidding. I'll go with Huey Lewis & the News, and Michael Jackson's truly great years were the 80's.

    probably "Kayleigh" from Marillion's 1985 masterpiece "Misplaced Childhood" album.

    As I grew up in the '80s my list is quite extensive and yet very incomplete. To me these songs stand out and come to mind at first (the Rush list could have been much longer):

    Journey - Don't Stop Believin'
    Journey - Send Her My Love
    U2 - Where The Streets Have No Name
    Boston - Amanda
    U2 - Pride (In The Name Of Love)
    Toto - Africa
    Toto - Rosanna
    Asia - Heat Of The Moment
    Whitesnake - Still Of The Night
    Guns N Roses - Sweet Child O Mine
    Guns N Roses - Paradise City
    Rush - Spirt Of Radio
    Rush - Freewill
    Rush - Subdivisions
    Rush - Force 10
    Yes - Owner Of A Lonely Heart
    Yes - Love Will Find A Way
    Foreigner - I Want To Know What Love Is
    Police - King Of Pain
    Police - Every Breath You Take
    Ozzy - Crazy Train
    20th Anniversary Silhouette, trem, natty headstock, flame top, maple board (01/25/07)
    JP6 Blue Dawn LE, piezo and matching headstock, no inlays (07/10/07)
    JP6 BFR Koa (11/11/08)
