And how could I forget Relax? Too many good songs from the 80s to count...
I'm so happy that a few people chose Pat Benatar songs. "Heartbreaker" came out in 1979, but I'm sure that it was still on the charts in 1980. Anyway, here are my top 5 songs:
Separate Ways- Journey
We Belong- Pat Benatar
Total Eclipse of the Heart- Bonnie Tyler
Rock the Casbah- The Clash
Kiss Me Deadly- Lita Ford
....and anything from The Cure
What no Milli Vanilli or Vanilla Ice?
Narrowing down to 5 is very difficult. there were tons of great tunes back then. Here are a few of my favs.:
Get Into the Groove- Madonna (she had tons of great songs on her Like a Virgin Album)
Time after Time- Cyndi lauper
Sweet Dreams- Eurythmics
Don't You Want Me- Human League
HeartBreaker- Pat Benatar
Living on a Prayer- Bon Jovi
Was the Tide is High by Blondie in the 80's?
Yes, I think around 1982 or so....
