80's flashback.

Discussion in 'Entertainment and Technology' started by timetochange16, Jan 14, 2010.

  1. I am a lover of all different kinds of music, but I sometimes go through kids of certain genres. right now I am in an 80's kick. Can anybody name their three favorite 80's songs......

    Mine are:

    1. With or Without you (u2)-(They are my favorite band of all time and I'm seeing them live this summer! yeah!)

    2. Manic Monday-The Bangles (Just because I sing it every Monday I do calendar with the children)

    3. Hysteria-Def Leppard. (I just think its a good song! Call me strange, but I love it!)

    Prince's "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man" would be on the list, but he's off of YouTube.

    The 80's was U2, and U2 was the 80's. So your question gets simpler:
    - With or Without You (probably the best)
    - Bad (probably my favorite)
    - Red Hill Mining Town (probably the most underrated)
