early 80s pretty much sucked.....everything was kinda whiney

here's my picks, however

John Cougar Mellencamp: Jack & Diane......Hurts so Good
38 special: Caught up in You
Trio: dadada....(tells you how pathetic the early 80s were)
Scandal: Good bye to you
Gap Band: you dropped the bomb on me

Def Leppard: Photograph
Men at Work: Down Under
Madonna: Borderline
?????: der Kommissar
????: Tenderness
Nina: 99 Luft Balloons

JGeils band: Centerfold
U2: With or Without you
Van Halen: Jump
REM!!!!!!


but it's the 80s face it....we listened to Phil Collins, Madonna, Kenny Loggins.


Might be a little later 80s-- The Outfield: Your love
tears for fears: Shout

Biggest weenie song of all time! ! !

(plus I don't think it's an 80's number - I think Cheap Trick - or as a former supervisor referred to them, The Cheap Tricks fubby - did that in the 90's)

(plus LC loves that song)
