Just heard Aha's Take on Me. It surely has to be one of the best songs of the 80s.

What was the best song of the 80s?

Tainted Love, Blue Monday, Sweet Dreams, Sweet Child of Mine, Master of Puppets, Purple Rain, Thriller, Careless Whisper, Living on a Prayer...

What do you think?

They are all brilliant songs.....too hard to choose

Soooo many to choose from

I think Say hello, wave goodbye for me
But loads of great pop from the 80s. Aha were great. Bananarama's Shy Boy ❤

Yes to Bananarama! Do you know that they used to live in the same building as the Sex Pistols?

So many by the Pixies. It has to be Gouge Away for me but I could change my mind.

‘Cruel Summer’ is a far superior song to ‘Shy Boy’, though DH puts in a good word for ‘Robert de Niro’s Waiting’, if we’re promoting the glories of Bananarama!

I’m torn between The Cure’s ‘Pictures of You’ (or ‘In Between Days’?) and The Smiths’ ‘Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now’, which will tell you what kind of teenager I was…😀

The Forest by The Cure and What Difference Does it Make by the Smiths, but it's very hard.
