[QUOTE="The Shaman, post: 2247148, member: 26473"] Too easy! ;) Here we have 'timeless' choices like "Workin' for the Weekend" by Loverboy, "Sunday Bloody Sunday" by U2, ""Lucky Star" by Madonna, "It's the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine)" by REM, "99 Luftballoons" by Nena, and "Girls, Girls, Girls" by Motley Crue. While Michael Jackson is perhaps the biggest artist of the decade, "Billy Jean," "Beat It," and "Thriller" don't jump out at me and scream 1980s - it's polished pop, safe for all time zones, not edgy enough to capture the period, IMHO. I'm strongly tempted to pick "White Lines" by Grandmaster Flash - rap's first huge crossover hit, embodying many of the larger themes of the 1980s - I think I have to put on my red shoes and dance the blues: "Let's Dance," David Bowie [/QUOTE]
