    These are not what I think are the best songs, but when I hear each song I am immediately transported to that year.

    1980 ... Fred Knobloch - Why Not Me (with a special nod to Rupert Holmes - Him)

    1981 ... Smokey Robinson - Being With You

    1982 ... A Flock Of Seagulls - I Ran (So Far Away); tied with Paul McCartney - Take It Away

    1983 ... this is a killer; I've got half a dozen I love. But I'll go with Modern English - I Melt With You (although "Billie Jean" is a great video)

    1984 ... Cars - Drive (but the video has got to be Alan Parsons Project - Don't Answer Me)

    1985 ... Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants to Rule the World

    1986 ... Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls (although the video to Addicted to Love made me glad I was a guy)

    1987 ... U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For (came at a very difficult time in my life)

    1988 ... George Michael - Father Figure (great video)

    1989 ... Howard Jones - Everlasting Love (it was a bad year and I needed something silly)

    U2 - I could listen to Trip Through Your Wires over and over.

    Duran Duran - I liked the more obscure songs like The Chauffeur. Didn't care for the overplayed songs like Reflex and Wild Boys.

    Depeche Mode - Still one of my all time favorite bands

    They Might Be Giants - They are still an awesome band.

    Human League - These are the Days

    Ministry (in the 80's) before they turned loud and hostile

    Almost forgot INXS! Love them. Still listen to their CD's.

    It seems no one hit my all-time favorite from the 80s:

    USA for Africa--We Are The World.

    Also: Men at Work with Down Under, Mike + The Mechanics with All I Need is a Miracle, and Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson with Say Say Say.
