Defining a decade with a song: 1980s

[Tarrasque Wrangler]

Where The Streets Have No Name by U2.

 

[Dark Jezter]

Don't You (Forget About Me) -- Simple Minds

Ooh, good choice!

 

[Ranger REG]

"The Reflex" by Duran Duran.

 

[Thotas]

Given how much I hate the music that was popular in the 1980s, I'd say anything that's godawful is probably just fine. In that vein, I'm surprised no one's said "Careless Whisper" or "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" yet.

 

[IronWolf]

Don't You (Forget About Me) -- Simple Minds

I have to agree with this one.... Same reason I went with Breakfast Club for the movie....

 

[Ranger REG]

Given how much I hate the music that was popular in the 1980s,

Well, it's not like 1990's musics were any better.

 

[Mark]

The Way It Is by Bruce Hornsby & The Range (1986)

or

In God's Country by U2 (1987?)

 

[Prince of Happiness]

Killing Joke, "Eighties." Like, duh.

Although My taste in 80's music lie with bands such as The Pogues, The Cure and The Smiths, I would have to vote for either Money for Nothing by Dire Straits or the song I loathe the most, Fight for your right to party by the Beastie Boys. Great group, terrible song.

 

[The Shaman]

Killing Joke, "Eighties." Like, duh.

Good call!

It's go the Eighties power-pop vibe and approriate lyrics.
