Below is the top ten from VH1s "100 Greatest Songs of the 80s" As usual I think VH1s list sucks. This is the list though.

2. Def Leppard / "Pour Some Sugar On Me"

I think this is the sexiest yet raunchiest, fun/dirty seduction song ever! You cant help but go running to find a pole to dance on when you hear it! lmao

Tainted Love - Soft Cell it out-soled all of these (and yes even Billy Jean) it's in the top 10 best selling records of all time

5. Prince / "When Doves Cry"

This would be my favorite one from this list.
Probably my favorite song from the 80's would have to be either "Head Like a Hole" by Nine Inch Nails or "Strangelove" by Depeche Mode.

FREUR / "DOOT DOOT"

... my greatest song of the eighties at the moment, which means for the next 149 seconds, before the next one comes to my mind.

P.S.: You see, Rome ... i told you !

P.P.S.: Who made up that list ? It's ridiculous ... good songs though, but the greatest hits ? NAH !

For sure not, i didn't like it that much today. There are a lot better songs from the so called New German Wave in the 80's.
And our national anthem is "Reigned By A Woman, Destined To Go Down" ... *lol*

10. AC/DC / "You Shook Me All Night Long"

I love every one of these songs, but i think that AC/DC would have to be the best listed here. But where is the Skid Row and the Cinderella and the Motley Crue and the Poison? Shit, i could go on for days on 80's music, so I think I'll stop now lol.

I guess Madonna was my favorite from this list, Whitesnake was my favorite group from back in the 1980's.
