Wait... you are bringing up music from the movie Miami Connection?
 
I'm not sure "great song" and 1980s belong in the same sentence.

Most of the music in the 1980s was fucking vomit-inducing, which led me to listen to very obscure metal acts like the then burgeoning scenes of death metal, thrash metal, speed metal, and black metal.

A lot of other people my age became obsessed with various other forms of obscure music, which led to the alternative music phenomenon in the 1990s.
 
Well....It was the Wham! decade.

But then, Graceland made its appearance in that decade, too.

Wow. Umm... music is pretty. I saw a Yes link for another one, with the Open Your Eyes Cover on it and was wondering what on that album he'd say was great. Not that album, but Fragile instead.

What I find odd about AC/DC is that they repeatedly have great song openings... but then it kind of wanders away from me. Kind of like Guns 'n Roses Welcome to the Jungle.
 
Marshall Crenshaw's debut album -- 1982. Take your pick, every song is catchy as hell and played with fire and cleverness. The perfect CD for a drive.
 
Some great music in the 80s.

Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Erasure, Spandau Ballet, Simple Minds, U2, Echo and The Bunnymen, Bowie, Roxy Music were all putting out great commercial stuff.


Depeche Mode's Just Can't get Enough is a great song



but I'm glad Vince Clark left not long after, Depeche Mode became something else after he left.




Spandau Ballet were always viewed as being a bit naff as they primarily appealed to a female audience but what a voice Tony Hadley has.



Japan, a short lived experiment;
