Gee, even I can remember back to then.
Great hub
Have a tremendous new Year and better in 2008
You have brought back some memories
Thank you Great hub
bon jOvi is the no.1 baNd in thE whOle univErse 4 me, secOnd tO them is THE BEATLES......
Love 80's! I found lots of 80's hits on the sites reviewed at http://www.squidoo.com/myboombox - Find websites providing cheap and legal mp3 downloads (about $0.12 per track)
I love the 80's!!! I like your choices! Good hub RB!!! Thanks!!!
I realize taste is a personal thing and all, but how "Living On A Prayer" tops this list is beyond me. A paper thin song by a shallow pop rock group shouldn't top a list like this, no matter how many it sold. The song is ok, and in some ways it hold up today, but really more as a campy, cheesy, "remember when we were kids" kind of way more than anything else. And Poison doesn't belong in a top list of any kind except top frauds of all time.

Thanks
Great memories in these songs...thanks for the reminder!
Can someone expain to me why "Free Fallin" isn't on this list?
Bizriak, all commercial lists, as well as music award shows, aren't about the best acts, they're about the best SELLING acts.
I HAD ALOT GOOD TIMES WHILE LISTENING TO THESE SONGS. JUST KEEP ON ROCKING! THANKS!
I think I can do better than that list, best selling isn't always the "best"! Good hub though.
Great hub! Brings back memories of me and my husband dating! 80s was THE decade for music. cat3na, I'd love to see your list too! Sounds great! Can't beat that music!
i still heaven't found what i looking for?sunday bloody sunday?to be with you? i simply can't believe that london calling is at 42?it should be 1st!!! billie jean 2nd,sweet child 3rd,every breath 4
Some great songs there (especially the first two), great to see a fair bit of rock amongst the list there :-)
I cant believe Rick Astley wasnt on there!
This is one of the absolute worst lists I have ever seen. Born in the USA at 48? No Once in a Lifetime? What about "One"? Where the Streets Have No Name? I Still haven't Found What I'm Looking For? Cum on Feel the Noize? Born to Run? Purple Rain? Boy's Don't Cry? There was also a serious lack of hip-hop on this list. Fight the Power was way too low in the rankings as well. So many songs I thought would've been obvious choices were completely neglected and replaced with crap like "Wake me up Before you go go" and "Hungry like a wolf." Some good choices, but totally laughable overall.
coulda had a better number one ): i like the song, but really? number one? meh....
o well... i love vh1 :D
Billie Jean-1 Sweet child o mine -2 every rose has its thorn-3 every breath you take-4 and jump-5
That's awesome that someone posted the list, no matter how lame it is. They didn't even include the ultimate song of the 80's - "Run to the Hills"!
What about the cars "Drive" ??? surely better than som of the stuff there....
It was a good list but there was like 2 guns n' roses songs two u2 songs 2 cyndi lauper songs and 3 prince songs!!! I mean shouldn't they have had like 1 song per artist??? Only Michael Jackson deserved 2 songs cuz in my opinion is the definition of 80s music...and yes no iron maiden was surprising they were the biggest metal band of the 80s
Brings back high school memories -- great hub !!
I can't believe that Pet Shop Boys is not in the list! what the...
I don't know why all of you are complaining. This was based on votes, so all you should have voted if you have such a problem with it. And you know what? I think it's perfect, just as long as Bon Jovi is first..
and hey, I'm not the only one if thousands thought so as well.
You spin me right round baby right round like a record baby!
HEY, BON JOVI IS THE BEST BAND OF THE WORLD, THEY ARE REALLY COOL AND LIVIN' ON A PRAYER IS THE BEST SONG EVER MADE...
What a silly list-a glaring omission of truly great and important records from "Bette Davis Eyes" and "We Are the World" to "What's Love Got to Do With it" and "My Town" while well over half the entries here might be talking point records, they are clearly far from great. Looking at the list, most of them aren't even good, Madonna, a major 80s artist, is wildly under represented, showing only once with one of her worst, while her virtually countless list of legitimate classics are totally omitted.
If we're talking about quality records, Wham, Whitney Houston, Twisted Sister, Wang Chung, Devo, B52s and, well, just about everyone on the list can't seriously qualify to anyone who enjoys popular music as an artform.
Aerosmith's "Janie's Got a Gun" over the Police's "Every Breath You Take" - give me a fuckin break.
Not sure how this list was compiled, feels like someone just arbitrarily listed 100 songs from the 80s without any rhyme or reason.
anyone know the song on the introduction to the special?
si las mejores rolas aunque prince no se me hace tan bueno
VH1 Sucks, Bon Jovi #1?? Did they do the survey in the meadowlands??
Clearly the #1 should be the Police-Every Breath You Take. Defines the decade.
Where are Tears for Fears, Thompson Twins, Spandeau Ballet, New Order, Don Henley, and finally how could you have wannabe Springstein John Mellencamp and no Bruce Springstein. C'mon Man.
LAS MEJORES , SEGURO .
As the kid from pretty in pink said (Farmer Ted) Nice manners Babe!
Why is there no Warrant, or Billy Joel, others? And there is NO way Bon Jovi can get #1. Sorry, Bon Jovi fans.
madonna should be at #1 shes the madge
they should have put The Way U Make Me Feel by michael jackson
yes where is billy joel and journey needs to be represented more on this list
My mom loves these songs... she is sooooooooooooo weird!
I, for one, like the list. I think there's a difference between the "greatest 80s songs" and the "greatest songs that happened to be made in the 80s". I, for one, love Iron Maiden and I don't think I would have put them on here.
And anyone knocking Devo as a crummy one-hit pop band needs to shut the Hell up; Devo was about as deep, political and meaningful as a band can be. Maybe if you'd listen to something besides fucking Whip It then you'd see that they have more to say than half the bands who consider themselves punk today.
My only real complaint about the list is... where is the Safety Dance?
acm1pt
MJ's Billie Jean should've been #1
Oh it's a list from VH1...what can we expect but crap
No power of love by huey lewis & the news? No eye of the tiger by survivor? No songs by Starship?? C`mon man. The power of love has got to be first! And you seriously need Billy Joel`s songs in there and more of journey too. However, good choices with Jump by van halen. Not really a fan of bon jovi. BY MICHAEL JACKSON WAS THE BIGGEST ACT OF THE 80`S AND HOW COME HE DOESNT HAVE MORE SONGS ON THAT LIST?
I agree with the above , but c'mon, thats a dang good list
Where the heck is Lambada?
this isn't the guys personal list people. its vh1 and people voted for these songs. however many people voted for a certian thing is how it's ranked. you need to stop being judgmental. im 14 and i apprciate all 80s songs. these happen to top my list. thanks!
How is Michael Jackson's Thriller not even on the list?
i'm seeing a serious lack of some 80's paul mccartney.. defeinatly a bad list. I Ran, along with gary numan and dead or alive should be bumped waay up...
Not enough Depeche Mode, where's New Order and what happen to 'Shout' Tears for fears! This list was ok but missing alot
I don't agree with Bon Jovi's Livin on a Prayer to be the number 1 song of the eighties at all. Metallica should have been number 1.
number 1 should hav been rock you like a hurricane or one or master of puppets by metallica
great! list my favorite 80s rules!!!
:)
I think "Money for Nothing," by Dire Straits should at least be somewhere on this list.
They should've put "In A Big Country" by Big Country in that list and what "Smooth Operator" by Sade.
Michael Jackson and Madonna are the idols of the 80's! Where are they? They are completely not well represented. It's a shame.
Wheres The Smiths on this List?
How Soon is Now or There is A Light That Never Goes Out
Great list. Definitely some great songs here.
Nice list but why i dont see anyone song roxette ? Its joke !
"We Are the World" is one of the greatest songs of all-time, it should be in the top 10 and it's not even on the list... that's the only disappointment of the list
For sure missing crucial bands like Iron Maiden and umm... METALLICA! Metallica's best albums are from the 80's!
where in the world is "Thriller" and why is Billie Jean 4 it should have been 1 not 4
MJ's thriller or billie jean should of won u S.O.B
Metallica's Master of Puppets is the best of the 80's this list is bs
POISON is higher than Mötley Crüe?! Oh WOW.
That ruins the whole list!
I agree with Will J... Where the hell is The Safety Dance? That is the greatest song EVER
what a b.s. list...I mean honestly there are good songs and all, but the arrangement with bon jovi #1, I think a lot of people were like "wtf", its obviois billy jean should have been #1, mj was the 80's, and we are the world wasn't even on the lsit!..what's up with that.

more beastie boys
i don't give a crap that people voted for this list but mj's thriller shouldve been #1!!!! serously, where is we are the world?
i know duck. it sold more than the beastie boys and whatever so, wtf where is it
i know duck. it sold more than the beastie boys and whatever so, wtf where is it
i know duck. it sold more than the beastie boys and whatever so, wtf where is it
So Whitesnake gets #17 and Motley Crue gets #41?
Haha.
Hahahahaha.
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Whitesnake opened for Crue throughout '87 and Crue wiped the floor with them every night.
No Yes, Owner of a lonely heart is a great 80's song!!!!
okay list. vh1 can suck it sometimes but bon jovi? im only 17 and i dont agree at all with that call.. Hello Metallica ROCK IT in the 80's. clearly dissapointed... =[
Where's Tears for fears
How in the world do you put together a top 100 and exclude:
The Cars
Alan Parsons Project
Billy Joel
J. Geils
Moody Blues
Stray Cats
Traveling Wilburys
and good grief: ZZ TOP!
No Boys of Summer?!? >:[
wtf walk this way is aerosmith not run dmc
Are you kidding me? Only 2 Michael Jackson songs?! MJ SHAPED THE FRIGGIN 80s. wtf. On top of that...Where's Madonna? ZZ Top? Billy Joel!
Thriller should be on here & Billie Jean should be #1. I agree MJ did shape the 80s & should have more than 2 songs on here.
i mean seriously the king of pop why the eff isnt MJ (R.I.P) number one on this chart
hail the 80's :)
Thriller is good not great. Smooth criminal is better and it should have been on this list.
"Billie Jean" should be number 1, that´s not even arguable I think, it´s one of the greatest songs ever.
And Madonna should have been ranked with "Like a prayer" instead.
where is thriller?? and billy jean should be number one and also they had to add the way you make me feel, smooth criminal. michael is the best. he owns the 80's

Livin' On A Prayer is a fun song :). I don't think this list is "most profound songs", it's more like the most nostalgic songs. Although Michael Jackson should have been most of the Top 10, don't hate on Bon Jovi. They've sold lots of records based off of "Livin On A Prayer." America, not Vh1, spoke and Bon Jovi takes the gold. I also have to give props to Jon Bon Jovi and the gang for still rockin' today well into their forties. So the fact that they made #1? Not your problem ;-)
what the heck how is Billie Jean no number 1. and only 2 of Michael Jackson's songs are on here, dude Michael difined the artist of the the 80's scratch that he friken was the 80's
Ok list but come on... living on a prayer first?!?!?!?! And you didnt have enough journey on there... you forgot anyway you want it, and open arms(the single greatest rock ballad and love song of the 80's!!!) so basicly worst 80's list ever!
...ok some of this song are great like 10... but d other ones are just LAME!!!
white wedding was 83, not 88
I'm not sure if billie jean or when doves cry should be #1. You have to take into consideration that kids who did not experience the 80's voted for these, and Brett michaels has a tv garbage show on vh1 which is why poison is on there, I like this list more than the 90's list although these are all pretty much nostalgic songs. I like it but where is purple rain and we are the world, come on stupid teenage girls. And I live in new jersey and I think most of the people my age don't know that Bon jovi is from there.
I'm not saying this just becuase he died, but seriously Michael should have a Number 1 spot. You can't say 80's withoutt thinking of Him. vh1 got this all wrong.
I don't think MJ should be #1.
His hole album is great, but one song itself is not a good support, that's why others songs get a good spot. Billie Jean? There are songs that are more well-done, like: Livin' on a prayer, is a tremendous song, and the lyric is amazing.
We cannot judge just about what we like, but everyone else too.
la musica de los ochenta es la mejor, aunque faltaron buenos temas, lo mas importante es recordar toda aquella musica
febermudez@hotmail.com
What the hell? michael jackson thriller needs to be # 1..smooth criminal, bad, man in the mirror, and i think that all of mj's songs should be on here!!!!! and why the hell is billie jean 4th? no way does duran duran, bon jovi or def leppard even come close??? who ever voted on this list is obviously on crack and needs to get a freakkinggg reality check pronto! dumbasses! MICHAEL JACKSON FOREVER
Why isn't Billie Jean #1? Michael Jackson defined the 80s!
There should have been more MJ! And Livin' On A Prayer beating Billie Jean(Or any MJ song for that matter)? WTF!
ok so its obvious u guys got the order all wrong. and its obvious that only 2 MJ songs on the list is a catastrophe. But what the hell man, where is Tears for Fears! Everybody wants to rule the world! now and forever.
No Master of Puppets?
okay so where is all the bad songs hello
smooth criminal, man in the mirror?
how come prince is the only one who got 3 songs. mj like everyone else said was the 80's!
and i also think madonna should have more songs. i mean she ruled the 80's with mj
wheres Amanda?
I'm outraged that no Jet songs are on the list. No Jet? SERIOUSLY?
UB 40 ?????????????????????????????????????????????
where the hell is careless whisper!!!
im 16 and i love 80's music.... i have one thing to say, WHERES HUMAN LEAGUE, SPANDAU BALLET AND SIMPLE MINDS?!?!
they should be on there somewhere
where is thriller on this list??
Michael Jackson was just one of many talented artists from the 80's.
He's dead - get over it.
There definately are some really good picks here but wheres metallica in the 80s they were huge And in the rolling stones 500 best songs master of puppets is in the 20s and plenty more metallica songs are on that list as well
OMG where's purple rain? It deserves to be on here... not no bon jovi as #1 -.-'.. but congrats to Prince.. he has not 2 but 3 great songs on the list...only Prince can pull that off..so can Michael Jackson. Sade deserves to be on here too.
I totally agree with Bon jovi's living on a prayer in the number 1 spot.
I effing love that song!
Does anyone know the title of the song with these lyrics:
I should have never let you put your lips on my girl??
Thanks for any help you can give me
OK i think that MJ's billie jean should have been #1. I am not a huge MJ fan, i am a GNR fan, but after all the things about MJ's death and after i saw This Is It. I realized that MJ deserves to be #1. He put a lot of effort into the projects he worked on. Livin on a prayer is not a bad song it is pretty good but compared to Billie Jean i think Billie Jean should have been #1.
i love rock and roll should be at a better position,not number 70!
i love rock and roll should be at a better position,not number 70!
Where is Karma Chameleon??? This list sucks, so many other great songs are missing.
Honestly, this list is really messed up. Half of Michael Jackson's songs which moulded the 80s and even up till now. Billie Jean is definitley the geatest song of the 80s and deserves to be number one. Not to mention, where the hell are great classics like Thriller, Human Nature, Bad, Smooth Criminal, Man in the Mirror, and even We are the World. This list totally undermines Michael Jackson's legacy. Other than that, I agree with Guns N' Roses selections, Journey, and atleast my boy Rick James is there.
Every1 has to calm down about Michael Jackson, its gettin a bit over the top. Also where is Karma Chameleon and Careless Whisper???
Where is Metallica's One?? And Back in Black?! It is both classics!
The 80's had good music my favorite is Mickey and Girls just want to have fun....
haha some of you guys are soo dumb there shouldn't be any Metallica! Of Course great band but this is the 100 greatest songs of the 80's meaning the most popular not your favorite songs of the 80's. Metallica was still underground. If your gonna say stupid things don't comment.
Ok btw where is Simple Minds:Don't you forget about me!
The Smiths:How Soon is Now? Quiet Riot:Cum on Feel the noize Tears for Fears:Everybody wants to rule the world The Cult:She Sells Sanctuary Megadeth:Peace Sells
Check out my blog above, my 80's list is way better than this list. Here's my breakdown.
This list just embraces songs that are either guilty pleasures, or songs that are just flat out bad. There are some truly great songs like When Doves Cry and Every Breath You Take, but there are too few. One thing I am relieved that is that they didn't fill the list with cheesy hair metal like they did with their hard rock songs. They said that Motley Crue were better than The Clash on that list. And in this list! They couldn't even get the facts right: London Calling was released in '79 idiots! Any way, I started my own blog to combat this, I hope you like it. It gives a lot of credit underrated artists like The Pixies or Megadeth. Check it out.

hey man ive been looking for a good 80s song
and i already had half of them so i did find 1 song i really needed which goes like this
shes a super freak super freak
youve really made my day thanks a bunch man :)
Where the hell are the bee-gees, Toto...??
god!
Where the hell are the bee-gees, Toto...??
god!
You have got be kidding me!! Where is The EYE OF The TIGER at?? There is no way its not top 10 at least and you dont have it in the top 100 here!! That is UNREAL!!!!!!!
This is top songs and I think thriller was a good song but the only reason we love it so much is the dance and that's NOT a definition of a song. I do agree with most of the list, but was a little surprised hungry like a wolf beat billie jean even though i'm a huge duran duran fan. I still believe livin on a prayer should be first.
wat the hell tears for fears should have atleast 1 song in their
No Living Colour?!?!
No Roxette?!?!
Only 1 Duran Duran song?!?!
There's only one explanation....
This list is total BullS**t!!
is it just me or are the first ten the least exciting songs chosen? The first song I wanted to listen to was Journey #11.
I totally second Harry . . . there could easily be three Tears for Fears songs. But at least one! WTF kind of list is this?
HAHAHA MJ MADE THE 80'S !!!
How the hell could only 2 songs of his be in the list? That's sick..
100 greatests songs of the 80s and no Simply Red?! What kind of a list is this!
omggg, how come not even HALF of mjs songs are on here?lamee!
he dominated the 80s.
this is bogusss/:p

i know billie jean and beat it are more stronger but thriller (song)is the representative song and defined thriller (the best selling album of all time)as great album even defined the whole 80's music scene. but the song is not even on the list???...
WHAT!? (*Almost chokes on dinner!*) SOFT CELL TAINTED LOVE at 33?? (Don't take this the wrong way MJ fans) Michael Jackson's Thriller was more of a dancing song. I'm not saying it's bad, cause I like it myself. But give me a fucking break with tainted love at 33! Doesn't anyone remember the "Sometimes I feel I've got to *DUN* *DUN* run away, I've got to *DUN* *DUN* get away..." or the *super high note* "Don't touch me please I cannot STAND the way you TEASSEEE! I love you thought you hurt me so, now I'm gonna pack my things and go. Tainted Love..." The band who discreetly formed pop music at that time!
faltan temas el mejor es de Don't forget about me of Simply mind
Lol. Ok, I think a lot of people just need to calm down. Just like a lot of people already said, its a list that WE vote on. Not a list that 1 single person put together. Lol. So stop freaking out on Vh1 for what other people voted on. And if you don't like the list, make your own or find one that better suits your taste instead of sitting here complaining about how crappy you think it is. Nobody cares to read your complaints. They want to talk about music. Obviously I'm not but I'll get there.
Anyways, I love Micheal Jackson and I wish he'd been recognized more by whoever voted. I think Micheal Jackson's music helped define the 80's in general. R.I.P. Micheal!
Well... I know that actually people ranked that 80s songs in the place they are, but I think that when you hear something like "the greatest songs of the 80s" you expect the most iconic, the main, the greatest... instead people's favorites... for that they should have done something like "the gratest songs of YOUR 80s"
Let's review the list... There are really important singles in the list, but there are another ones who don't really belong to the list... Instead them I think there should be songs like "We Are The World", "Don't You Forget About Me?", "Bette Davis Eyes", "Shout".
Madonna and Michel Jackson were already in the 80s the kings of the decade. I think Madonna should be there with "Material Girl", "Papa Don't Preach", "Like A Prayer" besides "Like A Virgin", wich was more important than "Livin' On A Prayer" or "Hungry Like A Wolf"... Talkin About MJ. I think he also should be ranked with "Thriller", "Bad", "Smooth Criminal" and maybe "The Way You Make Me Feel".
I was just wondering, because I know this is just based on people's opinions and such, but where is The Jeff Healy Band? He was a great musician who was blind, played a mean guitar, andalso sang exceptionally well. He died too soon in my opinion, and I was hopeing he would have been mentioned on here. RIP JEFF HEALY!!!! ROCK ON!
Really? How is "Thriller" not on the list? Or "We are the World? Or any songs off his "Bad" album? And how does Madonna only have one song on this list? They owned the 80's. Oh and where is Billy Joel? How is Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" not in the top 10, but "livin on a prayer" is number one? Steve Perry has much more talent than Bon Jovi. Sorry Bon Jovi/Bon Jovi fans. I don't understand VH1.
cmon dudes, where is the scorpions??? not even one song on the list...
uh why isn't michael jackson on the top of the list. He is the best performer of all time!
i cant believe they didnt put any air supply in there!!!... the were Huge!
i cant believe they didnt put any air supply in there!!!... the were Huge!
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeea
Ok, so if this list was comprised of votes, why isn't pink floyd anywhere on this list. Dark side of the moon is like the best selling album ever. Now with MJ gone he might have taken it back. But seriously not one song from Pink Floyd. Floyd isn't even my favorite band and I still think they should of had brick in the wall in there. "Whats the use of complaining no one listens anyways". Kudos to VH1 for doing this tho. Was born in 79 and I still remember these songs. Gotta love the music
what about Eddie Money's 'Take me Home Tonight', and Rick Springfield's "jessie's girl"?
First off the top three suck balls. They are good songs but Michael Jackson deserves netter thannumber 4. This list needs tobhave the whole thriller album and half of bad on this list. Also where is we are the world? This is te best selling us single of the eighties and it even raised a shitload of money for africain 1985. Also Bruce Springsteen needs to be in the top ten. We need more rap mire guns and roses more acdc more motley crüe more metallica more aerosmith and more maiden. Not this pop shit! It sucks and also how can the rollng stones be 94th? That is crap vh1 viewers have no taste and same goes for the people who choose which songs theyareallowed to choose from. U suck
there's not one of those 100 songs worth saving
Skip the 1980's
it sucked
Wow...this song doesn't have most of the ones I was thinking of. No...Elton John? Rick Astley? I few others, those are the main 2.
Oh yeah, I agree, HOW IS THRILLER NOT IN THE TOP 10, LET ALONE NOT ON HERE AT ALL?!
THRILLER? Why is it not on here it has to be top 5
Yeah, unreal that Huey Lewis and the Cars wouldn't make the top 100. And no way that Thriller doesn't make the list -- it redefined both pop music *and* music videos. I'm more than okay with 70's icons like Elton John and Billy Joel not being included. Joel peaked with The Stranger in 1977, and I'm not sure which 80's song of Elton John's you'd include. And whoever upthread said the BeeGees, yikes. On the other end of the decade, I would've left R.E.M. off, since End of the World is a pretty weak song for the list and they didn't really hit their stride until the early 90's.
Songs I definitely would have left off: “Cars” by Gary Numan, disliked it then, dislike it now. “Too Shy” really? “Look of Love” ugh ugh ugh. “Take My Breath Away” don’t hate it, but not nearly top 100. “She Blinded Me with Science” In the goofy category, I would’ve put “Safety Dance” or “Major Tom” way before this one. “All Night Long” ‘nuf said
Oh, and "London Calling"? I love the Clash, but I don't think that was the 80's. And nobody has mentioned it, but no Tom Petty? And I'd have snuck "Gloria" by Laura Branigan onto the list -- lots of fun and *very* 80's. :>
This is a joke Where is bryan adams
This is a joke Where is bryan adams
Thriller? I will admit, it was a great video, and the album is the best selling ever, but not because of that song. Seriously...if not for the Thriller video, nobody would care about the song. It was NOT that great of a song in comparison to Billie Jean or even Beat It with Eddie Van Halen on the guitar. My question is where is Home Sweet Home, Photograph, the entire Back in Black album, Crazy Train...
Thats a great list, but when you actually lack some of the best known songs from that era, then you've failed.
Oh, and: Cutting Crew - Died in your arms
every body here is gay
OH MY GOD!!! YOU GUYS ALL SEEM TO HAVE MISSED SOMETHING REALLY OBVIOUS!!!
Eye of the Tiger? Anyone?
I'm not saying it's an awesome song or anything, but it's better and far more memorable than half the stuff on here. And the video just screams, '80s'.
Also the lack of Metallica is terrible.
What?? No Huey Lewis & The news?? Power Of Love?? No Dire Straits? Money for nothing?? These songs were the reason why the 80s rock!
Billy Joel should be on this list.
NO QUEEN???? and bon jovi iss the best anyone who doesnt think so is a fuckimg idiot and can suck it! u idiotic dumbass motherfuckers
Wow, I'd say this list was pretty fair in comparison to Vh1's best songs of the 90s list. It seems like they didn't just go for the most super-popular songs of the decade on here. Most of these songs still sound good today and are still listened to by folks regularly, unlike the 90s list, which had a lot of songs that now sound rather dated and are fun to joke about, and were on the list primarily for their popularity. There are also some pretty good artists on here, and there is a good range of genres represented. I just hope Vh1 doesn't screw up their best songs of the 2000s list when that time comes around.
No Metallica?Metallica's best songs/albums are from 80's.This list sucks
billie jean is number one and beat it should be in the top 5. other then that great choice!
I am quite happy to see then-underground 80s alternative rock bands like The Cure, Depeche Mode and R.E.M. on this list. that right there is evidence that they didn't just go for the most popular, overexposed rock songs of the decade. if so, there would have been plenty of bad hair bands like Poison representing rock on this list.
I think "Cars" is a 70s song. But it was popular in the 80s. Great list of 80s songs though.
Okay I am 16 years old and I know all these songs. Thanks to my dad:) The 80'S music kick some real ass! Music today isn't like back then which is really depressing but at least I can still listen to it and jam out. Every party I have had I at least play 20 songs from the 80's. I still think I should have been born in the 80's. I get so jealous because my dad always talks about how much fun he had. It's okay though. I LOVE THE 80'S
err where is She Sells Sanctuary, that is easily one of the 100 best 80's songs EVER!!!!
Why is there only two MJ songs here? Where are his songs from the bad album? There were so many great ones like man in the mirror, smooth criminal, the way you make me feel, and many many more! And only one of Madonna? Come on, MJ and Madonna dominated the 80s. Putting Bon Jovi as number one makes no sense to me. And what about Billy Joel??? I'm sorry, but this list sucks! Thriller practically defined the 80s music and it wasn't even mentioned.
WHERE's TOTO
How on earth is "Your Love" by The Outfield not on this list? But otherwise solid list
Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar On Me is the best song from the 80s, there's no doubt.
not enough King of Pop here!!!! ALL of the songs on the Thriller and Bad albums should be on here; Michael OWNED the 80s!!!!
wow fucked that up
where the hell is the cure-pictures of you!!!!! best damn song evvvvver
what about thriller
great link
this list is sooo cooooo..ooooooooo..ool BON BON at number one created a lot of whinnnnnnn..ners GO 80's and 90's Musix you losers! PS WHERE is that one song everybody plays at when making hot sweaty love at outdoor theaters in middle of nowhere, sheesh!
i love the 80' and i never even saw them
NIN- Pretty Hate Machine?? I know it was in 89 which is late in the 80's but it's still the 80's
Where the sh*t is The Safety Dance?!?!?!?!?!?!!!?!?!?!?!!!? What the hell????????????
what was # 103
I agree with about 50% of the list, but as many others have said, it is seriousely lacking MJ, Madonna, The Cure etc.
We Are The World and Smooth Criminal should be in the top 10 unquestionably, along with Billie Jean.
WHAT - MEN AT WORK at #96??? What about Metallica, Roman Holliday, Sex Pistols, Midnight Oil???
Long Live the 80's!!!
MICHAEL JACKSON IS THE FLIPPEN BEST ALL OF HIS SONGS SHOULD BEE #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where's Europe's The Final Countdown?
I hate the song, but c'mon.
dont you forget about me?
simple minds?
Final Countdown is pretty awesome
Where the heck is Dancing in the Dark, Thriller, and BOSTON?
Run DMC ahead of Journey - Don't Stop Believin'???? Enough said about what these critics' collective heads are shoved up.....
they made a mistake. the clash's london calling is from 1979.
Hi ho lets go.
billie jean and man in the mirror is the best song ever
THIS IS A JOKE. DOWN UNDER BY MEN AT WORK SHOULD BE IN THE TOP 20 at the leas
This is friggin crap! These songs are put out by their chart ratings, not the music! No Led Zeppelin, Queen....Bullshit
I didn't see anything from The Smiths - only the best band of the decade!
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE WORST LIST....EVER!!!!! Alot of the songs were good, but some of them made the list, as to songs that our a staple today that didn't!!! WTF!
yall are gay PENIS
Um .. Chill, folks. No need to be mean ("sick" and "bs"?). If you don't like this list, compile your own. I'm sure we'd all be happy to read it - and critique it. Great memories, rb. I'm glad I found this.
Michael OWNED the 80s.
Why in the world does he have only two songs on here? Smh... he is so underappreciated to be the best entertainer who ever lived
The 80's song always remains me to ronald reagan the greatest us president in the 20th century who bring the 80's the greatest us decade in the 20th century
Alright, clearly, I wasn't born in the 80's, but I was just about raised on this music from my parents. Bon jovi is alright, but number one? Honestly? Not enough michael jackson songs. And where the hell is journey? Their song "Don't stop believeing" is so very popular today. What a fix.
come on, people. there were simply too many good songs from the 80s, and they couldn't fit them all on one list of 100 songs. and be glad that Michael Jackson and a few other artists got at least two songs on here. Vh1's best of the 90s list only allowed one song per artist. i've also noticed that some of the songs on this list have the wrong year next to them, and some of them are off by several years.
Wake me up before you go-go? our lips are sealed? girls jst wanna have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!! in front of every breath you take. not acceptable
You know,there really should've been more prince&mj.
but,wtf?!?!
Poison&fucking WHAM over Motley Crue?
thats complete bullshit.
&total eclipse of the heart was fucking stellar.
&you give love a bad name by bon jovi definitely deserved a spot.
&whip it was bull shit &if even on the list should be waaay at the bottom.
basically,this list is full of old nostalgic guilty pleasures,not songs with pure substance.
otherwise,motley crue would have more songs on here.
"shout at the devil" "looks that kill" "home sweet home"
&three songs that VH1 deserves to get there ass kicked for not including.
1.Van Halen-Hot for teacher
2.Judas Priest-Breaking the law
3.Iron Maiden-Run to the hills
come on, like Vh1 is really going to include Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, or other artists that weren't on commercialized radio or MTV/Vh1 on one of their "best of" lists. it's a list of the most "popular" songs of the 80s, not necessarily the "greatest."
u all wing to much for god sakes shut up and mj wasnt that bloody amazing and thriller was a crap song just had a good music vid
i agree with the MJ related comment. people should be happy that he got two songs on here. he may have been the most internationally famous artist of the 80s, but his songs weren't so amazing that they should "take up half of this list" as some are saying. there were much better songs and artists that came out of the 80s. people are just over-praising MJ because he's now a dead icon. i also think Prince had much better songs than MJ in the 80s.
were michael jackson dude was big in da fuckin 80s n hot lol
GUNS N ROSES 4ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mj should have been number 1 he is the best of all they didnt even have thriller on there!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why the hell is thriller not on this motherfu**ing list VH1 screwed up big time
wtf, how is summer of 69 not in the top 100?
And Men at work - overkill??? Pet shop boys out??? thats just unbeliveable... they represent the 80´s years more than 50 os these artists listed...
they should have michael jackson thriller
This is the worst, most embarassing top I've seen in my life?!?! I am shocked for the songs they put in this '80s top, and for those that they left out... I can't believe it, this got me really angry!
Uhm, okay COME ON people!! When you say, "greatest songs of the 80's" you can't help but think about michael jackson!! HE FREAKIN DEFINED THE 80'S PRACTICALLY SINGLE HANDEDLY! Mj was the 80's. Shoulda had WAY more songs on this list, waaay more. WTF WHO PICKED THIS DAM LIST?
i can help but think of mj. in fact when i do i get nauseous...
where's toto? those guys were awesome.
where is Thriller.?
Smooth Criminal.?
Bad.?
The Way You Make me feel.?
waaaay more MIchael Jackson sonqs should have been in the list. !
Michael Jackson was the 80s !!!!
If you talk about 80's decade SF 49ERS owned, Cowboys and Steelers dont do anything and just CHOKEeeeee, i am very proud to be the west coast guy yeaaaa, oke lets related to the topics no one ever mentioned N.W.A song, they make influential impact, are you all leaving in rich neighborhood like beverly hills or something....
Good god would you lot listen to yourselves. If every song you guys had listed as having should be there, was there, it would be a list of 1000.
Music is down to personal interpretation, get over it.
As it happens its got a lot of my favourites, and a few ive never heard of but look forward to finding!
Where the bloody hell was "The Gambler" by Kenny Rogers everyone who has any idea about music knows this song when they hear it, and IT WAS one of the biggest hits in the 80's even though it was country. this list must have been made by some 20 or something year old.
uh... no
this just vh1's idea of the 80's and not a true reflection of the real music that moon walked all over us - time and time again.
I will say this, compared to the music being played today... I'll take the unordered music on this list anyday!
hey whoa whoa what happened to home sweet home by motley crew in 1985 that should at least be in top ten
I agree, madonna, or the police, should be number one
Michael jackson should of been number 1 and 2 all the way to ten, Bon jovi.. come on ??,, ,Michael owned the the eighties and was the best entertainer of all time, this is actually offensive !
I agree that Billie Jean should've been number one, plus they should've had more billy joel, phil collins, and MJ. Also every breath you take is top 5 easy. I also "i wanna dance with somebody should be up there" maybe not high but on there. Whitney was owning the charts in the mid 80's!
For crying out loud get over michael jackson, yes was one of the best entertainers in the world but he wasn't the only one. There were stacks of great songs in the 80's and the only way by putting them into the top 100 is by cutting a few... stupid michael jackson songs. So who cares!!!
I never knew that there was a song called "i wanna dance with you should be up there", and also (this is for everyone JY) Michael Jackson is a messed up pedo that wanted to be a child that touched other children he was a freak and now lets all do the world a favor and get over him
all you MJ lovers out there, Michael did not really OWN, RULE or DEFINE the 80s, as all of you are saying. he only put out two albums, Thriller and Bad, during the entire decade. and there were several other artists out there who were putting out albums and singles consistently throughout the decade (like Prince, Madonna and other huge stars of the 80s). MJ only really had hits in '83 and '88, and he was pretty much absent from the charts during the mid 80s. people were mostly waiting for him to finally put something out in those five years between Thriller and Bad.
i noticed they got the years wrong on some of these. REM's "the end of the world as we know it" was from 1987, not 1980, Billy Idol's "white wedding" was from 1982 or 1983, not 1988, and Whitesnake's "here i go again" was from 1987, not 1982.
"Pinpointer" is exactly right and so is "hey jy" MJ was not all that popular... until he over dosed himself on prescription drugs and killed hes sorry ass.
you're right, all these MJ-obsessed commenters are probably today's teenagers who think he was at the top of the charts every year during the 80s and released a ton of albums during that decade. when really, he just had those two albums and was no Beatles or Elvis. his death gave him iconic GOD status and made today's generation of young people think he was bigger than he really was. plus, by the late 80s, he became more talked-about for his nose jobs, other plastic surgeries, and skin color transformation than his music. keep in mind that i'm not saying he wasn't a talented singer and dancer. i still enjoy his music and videos. i'm just saying that he is a bit overrated these days.
To be honest people mj did own the 80's but his fans have never stoped loving him so id say everyone has their own opinion but id say Mj did it be made the best songs ever and some were even played in clubs more than once so someone must of liked them ..

Officially Michael Jackson Is "Artist Of The 80's"
Thriller Is Michael Jackson Signature Song
but the song, i dont seeing on the list...
are you kidding me...
give me some break...
whats up with you guys...
please shut up people who dont live in the 80's...
To all the people dissing Michael Jackson... GO TO HELL!!!
Love The 80's!!! Best Music Decade Of ALL TIME!!!!
hey were r all the NWA songs they were the most creative artist this world has ever seen it shocks me to not even see staight outta compton or boyz-n-the-hood
also were r all the run-dmc songs like king of rock and it's tricky
I'm sorry but "don't you forget about me" is the epitomal 80s song.
any direct link for these songs ?
Michael Jackson is the best cant believe thriller wasn't up there and there could be a better number 1 seriously
Uh...Blame it on the Rain???
Vh1 sucks mj owns the 80's not bon jovi or another
i love to 80s
We love u mj ur livin in our hrtz always love u mj and vh1 sucks
We dont knw bon jovi who is this man MJ is no 1 and all of us knw that ok and vh1 sucks
where is "boys of summer" don henley & "the way it is" bruce hornsby???
Uh... the #1 selling song of the entire 80's decade is missing?!? Olivia Newton-John's "Physical" !!!
Not enough prince in the list. He owned the 80's come on man.
THIS LIST SUCKS!!!!! Theres no Billy Joel or Ozzy Osbourne when they cearly should be on here. [an others which would take to long to list] Don''t get me wrong I love SOME of the songs SOME. STUPID STUPID STUPID LIST
No se olviden de Shakespears Sister - Goodbye Cruel World PORFAAAAAA!!!
No puede ser q solo yo las recuerde...
Thriller? We are the World? Man in the Mirror? Bad? Smooth Criminal? C'MON! This is insane.
And Billie Jean #4.. RIDICULOUS.
people forget that most of the number one songs from the 80s were crap. i'm glad they left off stuff like Olivia Newton John's Physical, Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder's Ebony and Ivory, any ballad by Chicago, etc. a lot of the greatest and undated-sounding songs of the decade, y'know, ones you actually still hear on the radio, didn't even make the top 20 in the 80s.
Where is Smooth Criminal, where is Bad, thriller, and more.... BEST OF SINGER MJ I love you MJ Forever...
Are you kidding me no Thriller on that list ? what the hell is going on here ? the song can easily number one..., mmm that list maybe created by eminem fans for sure ???
There is NO way that you can fit the greatest songs from the 80s in a top 100 list...there are waaaaaaay too many awesome hits from that decade, so its only obvious that a lot a songs are not on this list...but seriously there are some songs here that don't deserve a top 100 spot and some that really should be up there...but hey, it's only 1 list of many out there!
Great songs.Bon Jovi's living on a prayer is the best song ever.So stop cribbing.
damn they missed like some of the best 80s songs like what happened to your love by he outfield? that song is the shit >:( and wheres "if you leave" by the cure they just put there just like heaven song,and nothing by the cars,nothing from when in rome?? damn vh1 sucks the dick
WHERE IS TOTO? THIS IS A DISGRACE
R.E.M definitely did not release "It's the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine) in 1980. It was released in 1987.
Michael jacksons song ned to be ther
Please all of you get over him he sucks dick sooooooooo bad why don't you all take a page out of his book and have a couple of bottles of prescription pills, haha only joking but seriously GET OVER HIM!!!!!!!
Fade to Black should have been consisered. vh1 also failed with their 100 greatest artistist list too. im giving up on vh1 now.
WOW! as if you dont have Simple Minds on there!!!!!
"Don't You Forget About Me" was easily one of the greatest songs of the 80's. i'm talking like top ten aswell, it accompanied arguably one of the best films of the 80's, the breakfast club, i am genuinley shocked that song is not on there...
why isn't thriller and smooth criminal on the list. Two of the best songs ever. Plus where's faithfully by journey and livin on a prayer is a good song but shouldn't be #1
Whatta complains, but I guess all the songs ur all expecting was belong to the # 101 and up! Not really on the 80's top 100. LOL
lol im a 80's child stuck in a body of a 90's child freakingg love 80's music
phil collins? peter gabriel?
gotta sing an 80's song for my christmas show at my high school. this list helped, i suppose:)
billie jean and when doves cry need to by 1, 2 in either order
def leppard and bon jovie represent cliche corporate rock that fvcked over the entire decade. livin on a prayer should be on a list os 100 worst songs ever
not a song worth listening to in the entire list. "jack and diane" maybe. And I agree that Simple Minds was better than most on the list. But for the most part, MTV ruined music in my opinion. Just horrible, funk-less, wall of sound, garbage was all we got from the 80's.
The best music was roughly from '68 to '78. Just my opinion. Rock on!
Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" should have been number one, but besides that, the list looks good to me!
@Harry: You gotta be KIDDING about Livin on a prayer being the best songs ever. Seriously.
Some hits but mostly misses on this list, starting by the #1.
Sweet Child is the 1#!!! No the 7#.
Sweet Child O' Mine is the 1#!!! No the 7#.
the eighties, amazing decade (LL)
omgwtfbbq?
its such a bullshit! what kind of list is this? very subjective...
The Smiths ?? New Order ?? Joy Division ??(after all - Love will tear us apart was from 1980). PIL ?? Siouxsie & The Banshees ?? Dead Kennedys ?? Happy Mondays ??
Oh wait - this list is about people who sold music - not who were innovative and CHANGED music.
Where is tears for fears...Everybody want to rule the world
Some good picks, some not so good picks. Everything is subjective though, and you'll always leave someone's fave band off the list! I would personally add:
West End Girls by Pet Shop Boys, Subdivisions by RUSH, Bigmouth Strikes Again by Morrissey, Owner of a Lonely Heart by Yes, Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House........and Straight Outta Compton, by N.W.A. !
I'm surprised Man in the Mirror isn't here...I think it's one of the best from the 80s.
What was the critera? Why Bon Jovi the first (no way)? Where the hell isn´t Queen´s I want to break free (at least one of the best ten!)? and they missed so many more...
Very interesting list!
sweet child o mine should have been no 1 not 7
why isn't Bonnie Tyler's Holding out For a Hero on there??
Good list but definitely missing Tears for Fears "Shout" or "Pale Shelter" and "Free Fallin"
It seems to me the bottom half of this list seems to be better than the top half.
Many songs like Joan Jett's I love Rock\Roll and Robert Palmer's Addicted To Love were huge hits and should be in the top 20. Billie Jean should be number 1. "Living on a prayer" is top ten but not number one overall. Smooth Criminal should be on the list. Salt & Pepa push it is a crappy bullsh*T song that does not represent the 80's. Duran Duran does not belong in the top 10. Cyndi Lauper girls just want to have fun should be considered top 5. This song was huge!! Depeche Mode just cant get enough in my opinion is also crappy music.
gotta say that the 80's was definetly the best times for music! to be honest, alot of todays music really sux!! when you think of todays music, it really killed the whole point of listening to music! todays music is all about tryin to prove somethin to someone and back in the day, music was music!!! it was fun! it took you to a place that no one could bring you back from! hell, now you gotta worry about drivin through the wrong part of town because of the music you got playin in your car!! 80's music was free and accepted everywhere! what happend? this is just my opinion but if you dont agree, think about it!! wether you want to accept it or not, its true!
The 80's music is the bomb! Im sitting here listening to wiz khalifa, mobb deep, and jay z, then "Amadeus" just popped in to my head, and I started thinking...yeah..now that's what I call music!
"Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel should be there
great time best music
why art'nt there any new songs or any songs from are genoration?
I figured Autograph's Turn Up the Radio would be on here, classic tune
really.... Thriller didn't make this list?
Yeah, I'm thinking they definitely missed holding out for a hero by bonnie tyler and shout by tears for fears. how can you not include them. i mean, holding out for a hero was from foot loose! come on! and maniac from flash dance! i's so sad.
WHat the HELL?!?!?! Where the f*ck breaking the law and and crazy train?????????
There definitely are a lot more songs that deserve to be on this list, but I think overall this list is pretty Awesome!!!
where is new order or big country on this list? list is pretty good overall
no ABBA?
I have a singing competition on Sunday (like the x factor im down to the final 7) and really need a song from the 80's to sing!!!! :( stuck.x
BAHH THIS VH1'S LISTS ALWAYS SUCKS
WHY IS NOT "TEARS FOR FEARS" THERE??!!
I love you for putting Jon Bon Jovi first!!! and I must say you're officially my favorite person right now as this list is like the best ever!! 80's rock baby yeah!!
How could they omit "Don't You Forget About Me"? That song is played on rock, pop, light, alternative...every kind of station. It's not even one of my faves, but it is the quintessential '80's song and should have made the list.
Where is "Life in a Northern Town" by the band "Dream Academy"!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe you missed MC Hammer's you cant touch this!! or Culture club Karma Chameleon. This list is obviously made by some 16 year old who wasnt even in the 80s
If this list had all the songs everybody wanted, it wouldn't be a top 100 list, it would probably end up being a top 1000 list...
Where is Black's wonderfull life? I can't think a best of list without it :/
@Mamelody +1
THRILLER not on the list ?, are you smoking something... and WE ARE THE WORLD (one of the most fastest selling single ever)not including too ?, what the hell is going on here...
Only one song by Queen in the entire line-up?
At least it was Under Pressure, but really?
what about We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions combo, Radio Ga-Ga, Who Wants To Live Forever, Seven Seas of Rye, or the oh so famous Fat Bottomed Girls?
I can't believe Bohemian Rhapsody wasn't on that list ether...
fat bottom girls amd bohemian rhapsody were 70's u jack wagon
Obviously forgot:
The Psychadelic Furs - Love My Way
Damn they also forgot:
The Smiths - How Soon is Now
WTF!!!
Faith is definitely better than mr. roboto, Faith is in the top 20 FOR SURE
@Mamelody I love that you throw an insult out there about how little the person posting this list knows while hassling them for not including a song that was released in 1990... way to pay attention there.
Geez, guys.
He did not make this list.
He just posted VH1's list of 80s, which is based on peoples VOTES!
Dude! Did they fricken forget all about hard rock/heavy metal???? they only have like 5 songs! Dr.Feelgood in the 40's?? That should be in the top 10! Where is the Skid Row?? At least VH1 was smart enough to put Bon-Jovi at #1
YAAA BON JOVI
careless whisper and last christmas need to be on that list
okay the number of things that people listed that "should have been on the list" is greater than the number of spots that were on the list. whenever these lists come out, obviously people will be disappointed. the 80's had A LOT of AMAZING music, so calm down!! and also, i didn't realize how many people even liked michael jackson, considering i never heard one good thing about him before he died (then again, i didn't live through the 80's and i have nothing against his music). and no one's reading this anyway, considering this list is from 2006, i think? k cool...
wheres justin beber
BEST WEBSITE EVER!!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU - YOU AWESOME, DUDE!!
they still rock
were the hell is .38 special?! Joan Jett and ozzy osbourne? more queen and some freakin lita ford! needs some more acdc and dance hall days! wtf
No Starship is a bit weird.
Geez. This brings back memories. Bad ones. Very very bad ones. The 80's was the worst decade ever for music.
Awesome, that whole list. I was born in 87 but I love 80s music, I have always been told I was born too late. Should have grown up in the 80s. Wish I had!!
everyone stop complaining
of course it's subjective because someone made it
it was made according to what he/she likes, not what you specifically like
personally, i think the list spreads a lot of spectrums of music from then
good job dude
Just goes to show you how many great songs and bands came from this awesome decade. I mean, you're missing a ton of great songs and bands: Dire Straits, Toto, Billy Joel, Joe Jackson, and that's just a couple.
I like the list. Its not what I would have had personnaly.
Billy Idol's Rebel Yell and Dancin With Myself would of certainly made the list.
And whether everyone wants to admit is it or not when we think of the 80s its 'Flock of Seagulls' that define it. Not BonJovi or Micheal Jackson because they transcend the era altogether. I ran so far away or even that 'spin me right round like a record' shit should be on top. They were the best 80s songs because they defined the fruity 80s. Word to your mother!!!!
Obviously not every great 80's song could make the list, but Hall & Oats instead of Peter Gabriel? "In Your Eyes" is up there with "Time After Time" and "Take My Breath Away" as THE iconic 80's ballad. And there's really no excuse for missing MJ's "Man in the Mirror" and Prince's "Purple Rain."
this is the best list ever bon jovi is the best stop your bitching about livin on a prayer reaching number one the song is awesome america voted and thats what happened
this is the best list ever bon jovi is the best stop your bitching about livin on a prayer reaching number one the song is awesome america voted and thats what happened
What a bunch of dopes. Cursing (you are so tough and mature..scary!) and it's not "A List of Michael Jackson Songs"..it's an 80s list. Everything won't be on here. And London Calling is the worst, it's just their best song. hahaha
I think all the bands up here are great, and many that are not up here are great. Music is art, no list will ever encompass everyone's exact preferences.
Furthermore, if this was compiled by more than one person, it's likely that whoever was involved does not completely agree with it either.
So if you're unhappy with this list, stop crying and go listen to (insert favorite music here), and make your own list.
ok guys. shut the hell up about mj. ok, he's great, but this is a list of CLASSIC 80s songs, not mj songs. chill out. i like every song on the list.
I agree with a lot of people of bands either being left out or positioned way too low
this is list total crap!!! where r the bands: Pet Shop boys, etc ...
i gresss its a fair representation of the 80s. We cant plez evryone...for me the 80s were the best era for music..if u have prince,madonna,michael..its already complete. I grew up in that fantastic music era. U cant beat the 80s music. Thank u for the music..the songs im singing..
I'm just 13 but I love the 80's big fan!
No, it is suppose to be the best!!! What happened to Queen? Another one bites the dust, Oh, I guess that one sucked. Come on.....Probably the only song of theirs from the 80's that should be there, but it should be there... What gives?
USA For Africa- We are the World
Not even on there. It's #2 in my opinion(behind Just Like Heaven)
how is mr roboto in here? tht absolutely destroyed styx
I think Blondie's "The Tide Is High" from 1980 should have been in this list. No wonder that laundry detergent is so expensive. (The Tide is high!)
wow thats alot of comments.
Whoever said pink Floyds dark side of the moon or whatever the fuck oats called sold more than Mjs is fucke in the head. If it didn't, y was it the bigger selling album in history from the week it sold huh? And "u all wing too much." go and fuck ur mum side ways, sincero u have nothing better to' di with ur screwed up life. GET OVER HIM, u need to get over urself, MJ is the reason for beyonve Rihanna, Chris brown, usher ect! Pin pointer, I think I need to pin point u to a wall and kick ur balls until u vomit. No body appreciates MJ for what he dis
d. He made human hisory. He loved children too mug to watch them suffer. U don't no how much pain MJ was in! Mj should hav more songs on here. Whitneys song that us in the top 10 or whatever it is shoul not be there. And why dies Janet Jakson make the list? She was bigger in the 90's. Cause MJ was too domineering then. He still was in the 90's buy she had bigger hits then
You know, I wish I can back in time to that badass era of music, it would be pretty awsome to go back to the most badass era of our time. LUV U 1980'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, people need to stop making a fake ruckus about MJ. It's amusing how his sudden death all the sudden made people get all protective about him. I grew up in the 80's and 90's and nobody was sticking up for him when he was getting accused of those crimes and especially not black people. Growing up, if you said you liked MJ in school, you were be labeled a gay. Blacks were ashamed of the accusations and his changing skin color. Then when MJ dies and blacks flood the streets holding his CD's even though they've spent over a decade disowning him. If MJ were still alive, many of these people blabbering about MJ would not be posting. They'd still be passing judgment on MJ or continue being closet fans which is why MJ spent all those years holed up feeling society's rejection.
Where are Madness, The Specials and Queen.
Absolute joke of a list!!
this sux
haha
nice:))
haha supa nice
like:)))
Not bad, it could've been a lot better and, clearly, some numbers should be moved around (Bon Jovi No. 1, really?) but overall it could've been a LOT worse. Devo could've been No. 1.
Basically, there are five, six, maybe seven artists that need to be on there and they are. End of story. Michael Jackson is great and all but he's on there twice and that's fine for me.
Prince, Billy Idol, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Bowie, and adding in The Clash was much appreciated. From there on, you have one-hit-wonders, and you try to find the artists' greatest hits, then order them. The order is about personal taste, probably record sales and general popularity.
I'm more of a '70s and '90s music fan, rather than the '80s and even I know that compiling a top 100 list that appeases everyone is difficult. But this is ridiculous.
Guns N Roses over Madonna?
Duran Duran over Prince?
And Aerosmith over The Clash is a personal insult to me.
Please let someone else make up these lists.
What's with da MJ fever? Of course 'Thriller' deserved some top spot on the list, but pliz don't make him sound like God! As if you guys were there... And where's Toto, Starship and Bruce springsteen, and yea, Dire straits and Europe?? Where the hell is Air supply?
Motley Crue is terrible
top thanks!
"Toy Soldiers"? Where is "Save a Prayer"? Garbage list!
i can do an 80s list way better than that, WAY BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!
mj ruled the 80s billie jean should be no.1 and where the hell is thriller and the way you make me feel
mj was awarded the'artist of the decade' award . he deserves the no.1 spot
people on here are acting like Michael Jackson was the ONLY musical artist in the 80s, but really, there were hundreds upon hundreds of great songs in the 80s, and MJ didn't sing all of them. even all of his popular singles from the decade weren't that great. Billie Jean and Beat It were great, much not else was really great like those two songs were. in fact, i don't think the Bad album is all that memorable with great songs that you could include on here. and call me crazy, but it seems like Prince overtook Michael Jackson in popularity in 1984, once the Purple Rain album AND movie came out. i think he also had more hits throughout the decade, as well as in the 90s. i'd say Prince was more like the King of Pop in the 80s, not MJ. and to the swearing commenter above, how exactly did MJ make "human history?" because he influenced Beyonce, Usher, Rihanna, and Chris Brown? those are some artists that i don't think will ever reach "legend" status, and we could do without them in popular music. in five years no one will remember who the generic, insane-tempered girlfriend-beater Chris Brown even was.
all the songs are great but the order is all wrong
WHOO! Bon Jovi made first! That was an awesome song that is still popular to an extent today! To all you MJ fans who are sooo outraged, MJ had 2-3 big hits in the 80's, that's it, these songs were voted for, so obviously more than one person chose these songs. Love the 80's!
i am 16 and i love the 80s! best list, BonJovi gets to be number 1!
but where is Bryan Adams? or De-Barge?
the 80s definitely was the best decade for music!
Look people get over it! Micheal Jackson is NOT going to be the top of every list! I agree he ruled the 80s but he is not the greatest thing to ever happen to music! Duran Duran being #3 is awful! Bryan Adams should have been on here. Who does not know Summer Of 69? And PLEASE they could have used a better Motley Crue song! DR. Feelgood is not their best song! Robert Palmer should have been top 50. Who can't hear the Addicted to Love song and not think of that stupid but funny video? I love Styx but Mr. Roboto is terrible! Journey should have gotten at least one more song. Faithfully is every 80s high school seinor's first time song! I do live the REM song they chose though. I'm sorry people but i think Aha's Take On Me is one of the stupidest songs ever! It should be in somewhere in the 80s or 90s NOT in the top 30. Queen's Radio Ga Ga should be on here. I mean they preformed it at Live Aid and one of the biggest stars of today named herself after it! Where is Dire Straits Money for Nothing??!! That was only one of the most popular videos and songs of the whole decade! I mean that song sold got Dire Straits over 30,000,000 in album sales. The only one who topped that was Michael Jackson! Why does Prince get 3 songs on the list when Billy Joel gets none? Twisted Sister's best song is I Wanna Rock NOT We're Not Gonna Take It! I Wanna Rock was just as big! Areosmith's song should be Love In a Elevator! Not retarded Janie's Got a Gun! Back In Black should be here too! REO Speedwagon's song was a good choice. Rock had romance back then before it became all about sex and parties. Not that there is anything wrong with those two things but rock tends to forget that to get laid you sometimes have to love in a different way first. John Mellencamp should have been higher too. Jack and Diane is a song for every young couple that's ever struggled to get by. That goes for the 80s 90s and today. I HATE Sweet Child O Mine! That song sucks so much ass! Pardise City Or Patience should be there instead! Bon Jovi should have had You Give Love a Bad Name on the list too! Living On a Prayer in ABSOLLUTLEY NOT the best Bon Jovi song! Where is Owner of a Lonely Heart by Yes? That song was massive! The B52s utterly SUCK! Joan Jett should have been top 50 at least. Every one knows and has at some point sang along to I Love Rock and Roll. Don't deny it people you know you have done it! All in all I give this list a 50 out of 100. They got some right but they got some terribly wrong. Keep it up vh1 you will get it someday. Let us pray that day comes soon.
These are great songs from the '80's. I don't even think the writer of the hub placed them as #1 being the number one song, just that it is the first one that came to mind or was chosen first. There was so much great music in the '80's choosing the exact #1 may be difficult for some, although I can think of one but there's enough complaining so I won't go there. It's a good list!!! The one listed as #100 doesn't necessarily mean it came in the 100 spot, it's just a list of selected songs from the '80's. Pretty good! and shared. v/r
I could understand putting Bon Jovi at the top of a list of worst bands ever. That would make sense. But putting them at the top of a 'best of the 80s' list is a pretty big insult to everyone else on the list. Of course any 'best of the 80s' list that doesn't include "Human" by the Human League can't really be taken too seriously.
I cant believe someone started a list of 80s tunes - which I find very helpful thanks as I was looking at gettin a few old friends together - and everyone just bitchin about what number one should be or who they have not included - are you mental! make up yer own list if your not happy but dont just bitch away at someones opinion - jeez!
What about VISAGE - FADE TO GREY ??
Sounds like VH1 needs to do a 200 greatest songs of the 80's list.
LAST TRAIN TO LONDON?
No Fleetwood Mac? Boooooooo
No band slayed the 80's like Bon Jovi did. It's fair to put Livin' On a Prayer in the top spot
where is HALL AND OATES/OUT OF TOUCH !!! this great song should be at least on the top 10, im sad :c
lista de merda vai toma no cu vh1!
where are Desireless - Voyage Voyage ? :(((Why their not there?
what about baltimora's tarzan boy which i think the song is an icon in the 80's? europe's six to eight? & duran2x's a view to a kill?
And there's not even a single song from the ramones :(
The clash's ROCK THE CASBAH SHOULD BE #1 and i bet you never heard of it.
Bon Jovi totally gets to be number one on the list! And it has nothing to do with the 80's,it's just great music!(and this is coming from a 17 year old)
and the list is really a matter of taste, there is no need to bad mouth anyone who thinks differently the yourself.
I LOVE THE 80's!!!!!!
Loved Bon Jovi in my teen years and still love hime now in my late 30's. Just great music. Of course in the days he went by Jon Bon Jovi. :D
How is your love by the outfield not on this list!!!
I love how none of you idiots say anything about def leppard being #2 with that garbage song.
It's the end of the World as We Know it is 1987 - not 1980. Jack and Diane were robbed at #59. But a fun trip down memory lane reading the list!
I grew up in the 80s. Believe me, MJ, Madonna, and Prince were the holy trinity of pop music. They should be represented more in this list despite the fact that there were tons of other good artists in the 80s.
Seriously... I mean seriously, serousily, what sort of a c0ck leaves Judie Tszuke out of the top 100 songs of the 80'S? I respect your opinion but i take great pleasure in knowing i know much better than you, whoever you are....
Wheres David Bowie on this list!!!!!!!!!
there should be the songs
when the world falls down and underground
hi you must also consider separate ways by journey thats great music Visit it
What about: Swing Out Sister (Breakout), Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers (Free Fallin), Robbie Neville (Cest La Vie), Journey (Open Arms), Sade, The Whispers (Rock Steady), Billy Ocean, and others I can't remember right now
Want that I could have grown up in the 80's. What a time for music! and life in general. *sigh* Well, we still have the tunes!!! Might as well enjoy them. xD
Not bad, but a few bad ones, too!
Mj's the bomb
This is a joke!
Where on earth is anything from:
Billy Joel
Roxette
The Cars
When Doves Cry should have been number 1, and where's Purple Rain??? BTW Def Leppard deserves its place, this song was damn good!
Additionally, there were lots of missing songs such as;
ONE - METALLICA (One of the greatest songs of all time)
Into the Groove & Like A Prayer - Madonna
Love in an Elevator - Aerosmith
Lovesong - The Cure
Paradise City - Guns N' Roses
Physical - Olivia Newton-John
Maniac - Michael Sembello
Where is the Safety Dance: Men Without Hats - 1982
Yeah.....i definitely agree with the whole Michael Jackson stuff...half the list should of been his stuff..lol. He pretty much revolutionized the 1980's, and Beat It is on my all time favorite songs list! but honestly, i definitely don't think Livin' On A Prayer should have been #1..., maybe # 5.....i feel like there were at least 5 other songs, and that's just off the top of my head, that beats that song bar none! Granted, I do love the song! But this is just my opinion, and many people have many opinions. Overall good list though!
where the hell is corey hart and cutting crew on this list
BOYS OF SUMMER?
micheal jackson was a tool, the man had issues, his music was crap and all of his fans should be put in a pit and forgotton, just like the retard is now... if mj was black they wouldnt be trying anybody for his so called "murder" but since he was white they trying a black man...
U forgot Bruce hornsby "the way it is"
some of these should have been in the list:-
1.drive - the cars.
2.pet shop boys.
3.save a prayer-dd.
4.alphaville.
for most part guns and rosses wher ther so i guess the list shud conider one of GNR songs on the #1 november rain?
No Tears for Fears... No List, Go Away.
Where are the cars?????????
thats a very impressive list Aerosmith Janie's Got a Gun is one of my favorite songs from Aerosmith besides Run DMC Walk This Way. this music definitely plays a big role and influenced many of the songs we have today
sadly hip hop Heavy D has passed away today. seeing how much your interested in music i highly recommend checking out my hub on his life acheivements
what abt sweet dreams Eurothemics

I hate it when adults think that our music is terrible. The truth is that it really isn't. You just usually have the tastes of your generation. Well, im only 14 and I LOVE older and newer music....DAVID BOWIE AND EMINEM
All though david bowie was in the 70s mainly it still proves my point
bon jovi es lo mejor, todos se merecen ser el numero 1
son una bola de pendejos la mitad de las canciones son una pinchi marranada

Love queen they took the 80's decade and made it totally rad gnarliest decade ever with another one bites the dust and under pressure if it wasn't for radio ga ga we wouldn't have lady ga ga today love freddie mercury best 4 octave vocal range ever
every cheesy hair band tune after 1985 should be taken off. Poison? Bon Jovi? please... on another note, comparatively speaking, the majority of the tunes before 1984 trumps the majority songs afterword. Phil Collins, Police, Pretenders, Squeeze... all TRUE CLASSICS. just an observation.
personally, my number 1 is Master of Puppets..
You've covered them all, these are great songs and some are even being reproduced with a newer version. Great Hub!
Queen under pressure should have been number one and queen another one bites the dust should have been number two this list needs some queen QUEEN all the way queen did make it to number 31 so that good the song under pressure best totally rd tubular song of the 80's
I love chaka khan ain't nobody song and I love queen under pressure
I loved UPSIDE DOWN by Diana Ross in the 1980's...which stayed on the HOT 100 from July 1980 until February 1981...like 29 weeks!

Queen under pressure all the way im so glad queen made the 80's list which was a shock.
Queen under pressure made vh1 100 greatest songs of the 80's list I love it Queen really did own the 80's they are totallt rad
Queen under pressure made the list, I can't believe it that's awesome
Queen had a record breaking 80's achievements worldwide another one bites the dust and under pressure and radio ga ga and I want to break free and one vision song great band of the 80's
it s the first top list that I pretty much agree with all of them. cool, well done

QUEEN under pressure great 80's song period. Glad queen made the list
Under Pressure is okay but I Want It All is a better Queen song. Why don't they take out the stupid Gary Numan song and add that instead?
