Favorite Songs from the '80s

Guys, I opened this thread to discuss about our favorites songs from the 80s. I was born in that decade and maybe that's why I like so many songs released in those years. I'll start with these classics:





Cyndi Lauper was amazing, such a shame she didn't have a prolific career. And "Alone" is probably one of my favorites songs of all time.

I'm not an 80s kid so I have no clue really what songs are from that decade... except these from Bon Jovi, that I love:

"You Give Love A Bad Name" (1986)


"Livin' On A Prayer" (1986)


"Born to Be My Baby" (1988)


"I'll Be There For You" (1989)

Yay for You Give Love A Bad Name and Livin' On A Prayer, my favorite songs from them along with Bad Medicine. I'm not really into their ballads though, I find them extremely boring and cheesy, especially Always. Yuck.

I have a fair few. Good idea for a thread. Will post some later on!

I love the AMAZING chorus in this song. So much fun to belt it out! Haha! I was actually singing this the other day.

Love this thread Alonso! Thank you for making it! I think 80s music is great!

Great chorus in this song. I'm not too familiar with the verses. Love the 80s hair in the video!

Gabe wrote:"Livin' On A Prayer" (1986)

All-time classic. Anthem! Who hasn't sang this at the top of their lungs?!! I know I have.

Gabe wrote:"Born to Be My Baby" (1988)

I had never heard this song until now!

I hadn't heard this one before either, but it's nice!

There are so many 80s songs I love by so many artists so I'm going to group them! I'll start with my fave 80's Bruce Springsteen songs!

The River (1981)

Amazing, beautiful, classic song.

Atlantic City (1982)



I'm On Fire (1985)



Glory Days (1985)

One of the first Bruce songs I ever knew the words to!

My Hometown (1985)

Masterpiece.

Brilliant Disguise (1987)

One of my favourite Bruce songs.

Tougher than the Rest (1988)



I wonder how many of these songs you guys know!

I have heard Glory Days and My Hometown before. Mostly Glory Days. Really good songs.

I had never heard the rest, I like the video for Atlantic City! I'm sure I've driven past some of these places before. Brilliant Disguise is really good too. I like!!

YAY!! Karma for giving the songs a try! And thanks for commenting!

You're welcome! I had to listen to the songs! I took my time to watch every video. Now that Whitney is gone, I have to get more familiar with the talent is still left from New Jersey.
