Through the Barricades is Spandau Ballets finest moment  |

"What no phil collins?  "
Exactly... OP should be shot at point blank range.
1. Phil Collins - In The air Tonight
2. Phil Collins - True Colours
3. Phil Collins - another Day In Paradise
Now if you play these 10 times in a row you MAY be forgiven! |

Unfortunately the 80s were defined by some bollocks music
That said some good stuff was made
3 of my favourites
Run to You - Bryan Adams
Spirit of Radio - Rush
Romeo & Juliet - Dire Straits
To name but three |

1. Eton Rifles - The Jam
2. What Difference does it make - The Smiths
3. Fools Gold - The Stone Roses
To pick just a few , as shite as the 80's was in general for music there was some classic tunes around too |

Favourite 80s songs are Romeo & Juliet by the Dire Straits and Through The Barricades by Spandau Ballet. Two of the most beautiful songs ever in my opinion. |

"1. Gary Numan...Cars
2. Simple Minds...Forget about me
3. Bow Wow Wow...I want candy.
Not the greatest but my personal favourites.  "
Did you know - you probably do - that Billy Idol was originally approached to record Forget About Me? |

I thought that that and Belfast Child by Simple Minds were absolutely stunning, even though I do agree that the 80's were an awful decade musically. |

If you like 80's music, check out a night called Scary Monsters
Last Sat of every month at The Pub Zoo in Manchester.
It's a great alternative night out |

Some great toons already mentioned. For me the 80's was defined by Live Aid and that epic summer of 1985. My top two are from that year and the other was a song that came to define a person.
1) Don't you forget about me
2) Everybody wants to rule the world
3) Karma Chameleon |
