Janie's Got a Gun - Aerosmith: It was tough to decide which Aerosmith song could represent a spot on this list, but I think I've chosen wisely. Hook after hook after hook...this song never gets dull.
Take on Me - A-Ha:
The Reflex - Duran Duran: In my mind, Duran Duran ruled the 80's. This is my favorite song from their repertoire. In fact, Duran Duran's entire lineup should fit in the list here...it could easily represent the entire list...
Pour Some Sugar On Me - Def Leppard: Incredibly sexual and fantastically designed, it's very easy to "rock out" to.
You Can Call Me Al - Paul Simon: A constantly overlooked song, but nonetheless a great one. Put this on at a jukebox in your local bar sometime, and you're sure to see people tapping their feet and singing along. It's undeniably one of the great hits of the 80's.
Hold Me Now - The Thompson Twins: A tame song, with a very overcast mood, "Hold Me Now" is one of the ultimate sad songs in pop history. It has an almost haunting harmony running through it.
I Need You Tonight - INXS:
Come on Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners -
Billie Jean - Michael Jackson: The king of pop may be enjoying his new existence as a white woman, but he earned his title with songs like these. Not only is the song itself one of the greatest pop songs ever written, but it brought MJ to the forefront of the music industry, and made light-up sidewalks and the moonwalk permanent pop culture staples.
