I love the 80's

I love the 80's. All things 80's. Fashion, TV, fads, all of it. But more especially, I love 80's music. Synthesizers, keyboard guitars, awesome hair, what's not to love? Quite possibly my favorite musical genre. It instantly puts me in a great mood, and it's the best "getting ready" music.

I have realized recently that my collection of 80's hits was sorely lacking. Enter my new best friend, GoMusic.ru! A couple clicks is all it took to vamp up my repertoire to a whole new level.

These are my most favorite 80's songs of all time:

1. "Take on Me," A-ha
2. "Hold Me Now," Thompson Twins
3. "One Night in Bangkok," Chess
4. "I Ran," Flock of Seagulls
5. "Till the Night Closes In," Exile
6. "November Rain," Guns n Roses
7. "If This is It," Huey Lewis & the News
8. "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now," Jefferson Starship
9. "Like a Prayer," Madonna
10. "Down Under," Men at Work
11. "Billy Jean," Michael Jackson
12. "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," Tears for Fears
13. "I Promise," When in Rome

I was shooting for a top 5 list, a la "High Fidelity". But there are just too many.

I can't think of anything better than a Jimmy Fallon 80's medley. I want to have his children. The video quality is pretty crappy, but I couldn't find a better one.



What are your favorite 80's jams????
