Not sure if this was early ninities but the song was great it belonged here

BEST SONG EVER WRITTEN

The last I put in. I considered picking the Dire straits, but I like 'Down under' more than any of the Dire's songs.

A typical 80s one hit wonder.

A different one, not that of the Proclaimers. A cover song, I guess, but well-arranged.

'500 miles' was their only big one, but they made some real great stuff.

I just know a few songs, but all those impressed me quite well.

A German Rock'n'Roll band with a bavarian slang. Rather funny on the one hand and pure R'n'R on the other.

Same procedure as the last one. Probably I like 'Enjoy the silence' the most.

Since 'Ordinary world' is a early 90s song, I chose 'The Reflex' representing the whole work of Duran Duran.

I don't know, maybe it's just temporary, but it's a great song.

My favourite (80s) band, but I don't really have a favourite song, so I picked a nice, not so well-known.

flute and keyboards... this is all music should be made of!!!

this song recreates in me a mistical enviroment, something i just can't explain.

how long, how long must we sing this song!

josies' on a vacation far away...

freddy... =] it's a kind of magic la la la la

set him free, MJ rulez!

I was like 7 years old when i heard this for the first time, maybe the first rock song i ever enjoyed

vocal harmony, something that the actual bands forgot about

How i love those keyboards

great guitar riffs Mark Knoppfler kicks ass :-)

I have NEVER seen this song on any 80's compilation cd or anything. People might think I'm nuts for having this song as my number 10, but it's not that bad of a song. It deserves more respect than it gets. IT started off the 80's and Mtv for cryin' out loud (the main reason it's number 10)!

I used to hate these guys. I don't know why. Probably because at first, everyone thinks that their songs suck. But give them a chance. Listen to these two songs. Very good.

I needed to incorporate some hip hop in this list. Really cool rap song. Lil' Romeo sampled some of this song in one of his songs, "Two Way". He must know his 80's.:) / This Song is a good emotional releasing mechanism. I had to work it in somewhere on the countdown. Although, you can't really compare it to "It Takes Two". Oh well... still, it's awesome

One of the ultimate love songs ever. It can express any young man's thoughts. However, it doesn't give much of an image in your head (Dying in the girl's arms will not do you any good). / This song is like an awesome song. No words to describe it. No one can resist getting into it.

If you've been workin' all day and all you want to do is come home and give up for the day, then listen to "Relax". The title might be a little misleading, but it's a great tip for overstressed people. :) / This song is so awesome when you have surround sound.

This is the only 80's rock song on my top 10 list. Don't get me wrong, there are MANY awesome 80's rock songs "Livin' On A Prayer" by Bon Jovi, for example. However, this has to be one of the ultimate rock songs ever (not just in the 80's). It was even featured on VH-1's "I Love The 80's: Strikes Back". It was described as being "epic" and that word totally sums up the whole song.

Great Great song (Especially for running). The radio version has a longer "space-aged" sound at the beginning.

One of the first hits of the decade. Did anybody know that one of the band members (Mark Mothersbaugh) now plays music for "Rugrats" on Nickelodeon?

This song is a close second. It's one of those songs like "Bohemian Rhapsody" that fools you into thinking it's a slow droopy song and then starts rockin' out! Plus, no one can resist the catchy tune.

This song was a hit in the heart of the 80's, and gives us the ultimate imagery of that time. I have not met one person yet who disagrees with me.

Man, this is soooo 80's...haha yeah I'm singing now. Hehee

Everybody dance!

I like the song along with Borderline and Angel

Radio station keeps playing the song

I'm a fan of the band and their songs *SINGS* If you don't know me by now....

They rule the airwaves back then along with Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet.. It was such a "Mad World"

My Golly Gee it's Boy George! Hahaha....Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon. You come and go, you come and go You come and go, you come and go

They always show the video. Hey, I want my MTV...hehe

I'm singing it in my head actually! Hahaha

Hey it's Sting!

a great song from a good movie

i cant stand the new version of this song--sorry Lillix :(

this song is stuck in my head along with #5

once a fan, always a fan! :P

Technically a 70s release (79?) I think, but very much in the spirit of 80s industrial/punk, almost totally forgotten, but very cool.

Impossible to pick just one Cure song, but this is my favorite.

Best INXS song ever.

See #5.

Much better than the "Round and Round" song.

Loved it as a kid, had no idea what campy gay Brit pop was, but loved it.

One of the catchiest songs of its time.

Brilliant.

One of the most haunting pop songs ever recorded.

Ultimate 80s song. Girly lead singer and dance beats.

Takes me back to the summer of 1985?? I think. Just a kid.

Another Duran Duran song - so they were my favorite 80's group.

If you asked me fifteen years ago, wouldn't have mentioned it as a favorite but it still sounds just as good as ever.

I think this one came out before the '90's if I'm not mistaken.

Still sounds good.

Still good to listen to.

Song that has stood the test of time.

Another Duran Duran song I like a whole lot.

Great video of course. Great song. Very catchy; defined the 80s.

Very catchy song even though many people may think of Simply Irresistable and Addicted to Love when Robert Palmer is mentioned. This song is a favorite of the '80s.

How come an 80's top ten be made without her?

Styx has done a lot of good songs, but I think it's their very best.

Great song. Nuff' said.

What is the matter with this song? I don't know but it's damn good.

Just the message in the lyrics was enough for me give it number 5 (it really announced things to come), but there is more, the music is good too!

Style of The Beatles + sound of The Beatles + an 80's touch = Near perfection song.

Excellent song. And what a great videoclip .I just dig it!

Must be the strength in this song. Excellent Rocky movie too (God bless Mister T!)

Trademark song of the 80's by a freak (or is he?)

Very rare performed by U2 and one of their less known songs by mainstream but with a high note chorus that Bono even finds hard to hit. Joshua Tree.

Not my favourite artist at all but this song deserves recognition.

Performed live with all your lights out to watch it. It makes the hairs stand on the back of your neck. Best Song Ever.

eh, what can I say

Everyone needs to hear this song, its on their 1981 album 'Faith'.

even though there more known for we are the champions and we will rock you this is my favorite from queen

hard to believe a hard rock band like poison could sing such a beatiful song

this song too was a one hit wonder

this song and love bites are my only songs from def leppard i like

the old guns n roses were a great band

a very catchy tune

one of the greatest rock songs of all time.

just a good and excellent lyrics. If you like foreigner than Foreigner: Complete Greatest Hits is a must

this one hit wonder had a great guitar solo with a good beat

stings greatest hit. he was going through a divorce and wrote this song to his what is now ex-wife

" i don't know where i'm going, but i sure know where ive been"

"shake for me girl, i wanna be your backdoorman" oooohhh yeahhh

"Have to be the best band to come out of AussieLand" Long live BON SCOTT

" we're right/yeah, we're free/yeah, we'll fight/yeah, you'll see/yeah"

" take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night"

" i'm hot, sticky sweet, from my head to my feet yeh "

" and i guess we're still kickin ass "

"take my hand, we'll make it i swear"

"ahh green grass, pretty girls, what else could you possibly want" good looks- perhaps?

"Especially the Rose I married, oh boy oh boy, let me tell ya did she have some thorns......or was i just a big prick"

Its one of those songs that makes you want to cry with him and slit your wrists

I think we can all somehow relate to this in one freaky way or another

Just the fact that its The Cure says so much

This is the song that you never admitted you liked but when u were alone in your car and it came on, you'd blast it up all the way and sang along to every word

Okay ill admit im not sure if its 80s or 70s but its still an awesome awesome song!!

Has got to be one of my favorite songs of all time, and it brings back soo many memories

Most people know it as Blue Jean Baby, but either way its still rocking!!

Just all around sweet

This song just makes you want to dance around in your underwear!!

Just listen to it, what's not to love?
