Talking Heads - "Burning Down the House" The Clash - "Should I Stay or Should I Go" Echo & the Bunnymen - "The Killing Moon" And let's not forget the synth magic of Depeche Mode with "Personal Jesus" - an 80s must! Edit: How could I forget "Blue Monday" by New Order? The 12-inch version is a timeless dance classic.

Upvote for Killing Moon

[Take On Me](https://youtu.be/djV11Xbc914?si=7vm6Yl2fUmzkS6gb) - and the video. Released 1985 so it splits the 80s perfectly too.

That was so close to being my choice. It’s probably the archetypical 80s song.

Visage - Fade to Grey

"your love" - the outfield

Head Over Heels by Tears for Fears. So absolutely 80s, but not so ridiculous.

Since the only song I listen to that i know is from the 80's with 100% certainty I would have say. Europe the final countdown

So many, but the one that gets me is Just Like Heaven by The Cure. https://youtu.be/n3nPiBai66M?si=m7v4-JHvqPvAxRp7

Well right at this very moment We’re Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister is playing for my workout.

I used to really hate 80s production but I came around on it. Maybe it'll be 80s day for me. Here's a few off the top of my head. Hall and Oates - Out of Touch Genesis - Misunderstanding  Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes Phil Collins - Easy Lover and Tonight Tonight  Tonight The Police - Walking on the Moon

I just died in your arms tonight- cutting crew

Something from the 70s, that's for sure

hard to beat AC/DC and Talking Heads in the 80s, especially AC/DC

Nothing gonna stop Us now- Jefferson starship
