"live forever" is the best song of the 90's; "mr bright side" is the best of the 00's and "get lucky" is the best of the 20-teens.

What have you got for second place?! Wink

Wrong. Blue Monday is the best 80's

Yabvu. I love Africa too but how can there be a number 1? It's not possible. Can't we have a top 3??

You are all wrong. How Soon is Now was the best song of the 80s. Followed by Blue Monday Grin

Erasure's Give A Little Respect is a Top Ten 80's song for sure.

When Doves Cry is absolutely the best song of the 80's though.

There's so many great tunes of the 80s, I would find it hard to choose but 'Africa' is not on my list.

Naaah. 'The Final Countdown' is quintessential 80s.

Love is a Battlefield by Pat Benatar. Totally forgot about it until Stranger Things series 2.
