I graduated in '89, which of course means I grew up with 80's music and BIG hair!
I might not listen to it all the time, but I have to confess, if I hear an 80s song on the radio chances are I'm not turning it!
Tell me what songs you like from this decade? What are your faves?

Where the Streets Have No name by U2.
Ever see U2 in concert? They're awesome!
This is pretty tough. I love Echo and the Bunnymen, The Smiths, The Cure, and more new wave.
"Killing Moon" by Echo and the Bunnymen is amazing!
Against All Odds - Phil Colins
Men All Pause - Klymaxx
Mr Roboto, Let's Hear it for the Boy, and yes Mickey
I could go on all day!!! Just something else to add, to make sure my kids have love for all music, on Saturdays when I play music, I include many of the 80's songs and they love them!
"Keep On Loving You" by REO Speedwagon
"Can't Fight This Feeling." by REO and
"Take it on the Run" by REO
Pat Benatar and Cyndi Lauper were awesome, too!
I liked Cyndi and Madonna but I was a Cyndi girl cuz she was sooo unusual.
I loved to watch George Michael videos.
Oh and I loved U2 and the Police. Believe me, I would have stood too close to Sting in a heartbeat/
I love anything by Depeche Mode, People are People being one of my favs.
The first Beastie Boys album was fun and I think that it came out before I graduated.
My favorite song of all time in 1986s In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel- loved "Say Anything" and John Cusak also
Kevin and I were married in 1992. Our song is "Lovesong" by the Cure.
I didn't grow to appreciate Depeche Mode and Prince until I was in college. As an adult, I love "When Doves cry."
"How can you just leave me standing, alone in a world so cold...."
You are so right about INXS and Madonna! (after all wasn't she the queen of the 80's?) I especially loved INXS' songs Need You Tonight and Devil Inside. With Madonna- I have to say I loved it all- Borderline & Material Girl were big favorites though.
Of course you named some of my other favorite 80's artists as well.
Seems to be a lot of us '89 grads on here! It's fun to remember all those tunes fromour h.s. days. Isn't it? ;)
Till he was with me, yeah me, singin'
