ok, i’m in the mood for reminiscing about all those cheesy synth songs that remind me of being young. the best i can think of is the final countdown. eurgh! so cheesy, but there must be worse… rick astley anyone?

not sure what the best song was, but Girls On Film by Duran Duran had to be the worst of the 80’s… almost anyting Duran Duran for that matter!

I want to say that Violator was released in 1990, but I’m not totally sure without actually looking at the CD (my grandmother bought it for me when I was 10).

I always liked the song Voices Carry by ‘Til Tuesday. Definitely one of my favorite 80’s songs.

Many good songs were created in the 80ies… but I really hate the sounding of the productions of this decade. It sounds so clean almost sterile. This is why most of the cover-songs sound definately better than the 80ies-originals (e.g. the Smiths-Tribute-Album).
Best bands of the 80ies:
Hüsker Dü
The Pixies
Joy Division
and The Smiths

One of the best songs of the eighties was 99 luftballons by Nena and Blondie of course!

I thought that was 99 RED balloons? although luftballoons would explain the german lyrics in the goldfinger cover

Worst songs from the 80’s (and also EVER since time itself began) is “Since you’ve been gone” and “All night long” by Rainbow.

My contempt for them is total.
