Argh there's so many.

I'm into all the movie songs, especially from "Flashdance" (Irene Cara's 'What a Feeling') and "Dirty Dancing" (the original 'Hey Baby' and 'Time Of My Life').

You fools!

Everybody knows that the greatest 80s song (if not the greatest song of all time) is Down Under by Men At Work...

Anything Michael Jackson in the 80's was cool. Today he scares me.
