As above. IMHO, I think the music in the 80s were as good as those of the 90s. Most songs during the 90s are all pop and boybands and stuff. Just a couple of people who look good but can hardly sing. Now that ain't music!

Btw, good songs I can remember are:

Bee Gees - You Win Again
Bon Jovi - Living on a Prayer
Cindi Lauper - Time After Time
Culture Club - Karma Chameleon (one of the best songs of all time!)
Police - Every Breath You Take (much better than P.Diddy's version!)
Spandau Balllet - True
Tina Turner - Simply the Best (I don't care what you think!)
U2 - Pride (In the Name of Love)
Wham - Club Tropicana
Wham - Freedom
Some Michael Jackson songs...

Well, some might not be 80s and more like v.early 90s but they are still similar!

I dunno if this song was from the 70s or 80s but it has to be the best song ever!

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody!

There are many more other songs which I like but can't exactly remember the names of! I was born in 1985 btw, just about the right time to remember all these songs!
