      Maybe some obvious ones here, maybe not. Not in any particular order. Maybe not even the top 10, but what I could think of (had to browse my music folder to think of some of them)

      Big Country - Big Country

      English Beat - Save It For Later

      The Outfield - Your Love

      Simple Minds - Don't You Forget About Me

      Flock Of Seagulls - Wishing

      INXS - Don't Change

      Michael Jackson - Thriller

      Ziggy Marley - Tomorrow People

      Tone Loc - Funky Cold Medina

                      Woah... forgot about that Big Audio Dynamite song... classic...

                      I'm addicted to 80's music...
                      I love rock and metal first... but I could very easily go from Judas Priest... to Wang Chung in my cd changer.... the 80's were fun...
                      Music is so fucking boring these days!

                          I'm speechless.

                          I'm the EXACT same way! Hubby says that getting into my Envoy is like going back in time with a maniac because you never know what genre is playing but there's some 80's music not far behind.
