I like some 80s music, but I'd have to look some stuff up to list some of my favorites, to make sure they are from the 80s. :lol: 

 

found this though:

And I recognized all the titles :D 

 

I had some 80's hit medleys on casettes, when I still listened to tapes.

 

I'm bad at picking favourites, though. Chances are, whenever someone posts something, I'll be just nodding in agreement :P 

Certainly, "Down Under" has to be up there. Super catchy. "Walk of Life" and "Sultans of Swing" too. And many other songs :P

I kind of sang the words in my head when I read them. :lol: 

 

Here are some songs from my 80s folder:

Walking on Sunshine

If You Leave

Hold Me Now

Karma Chameleon

Everybody Have Fun Tonight

Abracadabra

One Thing Leads to Another

The Tide is High

Heart of Glass

I should also add, that I don't have a good feel for Polish music from the 80s. While I can definitely name some titles that I like, I'd often be unsure which decade they are from :rolleyes:

aaand now I'm feeling nostalgic :)

I definitely recognize this one :) 

 

Also, Lady Pank - Zostawcie Titanica

 

I don't know if anyone will mention ABBA, so here's a song of theirs that I like, from their last studio album (before the recent come back).

ABBA - When All Is Said and Done

A lot of great music from the decade. For something unusual I'll share this favorite that's actually from the 80s but not usually thought of as such.

Still a favorite and so good. I was glad when the country singer, Luke Combs, won his award that he brought Tracy Chapman to the stage to sing with him.

The 1980s is by far my favourite decade for pop music. Most of the music I listen to regularly is from the 80s.

There are so many 1980s songs that I like, but here are five of them.

 

These tracks are ones that I consider to be real "feel good" tracks. They always raise my mood. 

I like these tracks so much that... when I listen to these songs, my neighbours do too!

The thread title only refers to 80s music; it doesn't stipulate that it has to be from the 1980s! 

Despite its name, the Tchaikovsy's 1812 overture was composed in the 1880s.

It's still 80s, just 1880s rather than 1980s!

The Bee Gees had some really good songs from the 80s. Makes me sad that they were kinda forgotten about for a while during that decade, it's one of my favorite eras of theirs.

 

 

 

And I'm a sucker for some of Robin Gibb's solos as well:

Wouldn't It Be Good! This is one of the many oldies I always loved so much but never knew the title of. I guess it's mostly due to the fact that I was a wee child when they played in on the radio back then, and my command of English was pretty much subzero at the time. Thank you for bringing this old gem back into my life.
