Best song in WLIR's top 20 of the 1980s

'Bizarre Love Triangle', closely followed by 'Burning Down The House'.

"Dancing With Myself" and "I'll Melt With You" are the ones most likely to get me dancing goofy in the car or at a party, so one of those.

Bad

ha, those 200 songs. peter godwin and b-movie- i dont think i ever heard those songs anywhere other than lir, but heard em enough to still be able to sing the choruses.

blech, and i love 80s music.

^^ this. Maybe Blue Monday, though it's way beyond played out.

Blue Monday.

this list was created by one person right?

lol @ "the great commandment" being on this list

Wait.. this station still exists?

I recall "Forever young" making #1 on their alltime 300 list..

It's strange... looking at just the top 20 seemed sort of banal.

I clicked over to the link of the top 200, and the sheer volume of songs that I hadn't thought about in years, and that were important once, made me feel quite sentimental. I grew up a lot during the '80s, and songs significant to all of those phases were amply represented on the list.

(Here, I voted for "Don't You," not because it's great, but because it best exemplified my mood now and my attitude towards this era.)

main beef w/this list is lack of black artists, save Eddy Grant

They used to play "Pass The Dutchie" on occasion.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Alphaville makes the cut but no Killing Joke? WHAT A STAGGERING BAG OF REPULSIVE, RUNNY CRAP!

the cult of Napoleon Dynamite, Alex

I prolley would've voted White Wedding...greatest bubblegum hit of the 80s.

I've never heard Killing Joke on commercial radio.

they get half a black point for ub40, no? but the living colour oversight is tragic.

In fact he just said “Wow, Culture Club and Berlin, I should fly out for that!”
