As a child growing up in the 80s....

Time for another list! Being a child of the 80s I grew up with some great music. Many would call these songs cheesy now, but I still enjoy them. For the melodies, memories and plain good songwriting. My top 10 1980s songs as follows:-

1. Electric Dreams - Giorgio Moroder

2. A Good Heart - Feargal Sharkey

3. Down Under - Men at Work

4. One Night in Bangkok - Murray Head

5. Neverending Story - Giorgio Moroder

6. Careless Whisper - George Michael

7. Don't Lose my Number - Phil Collins

8. We Didn't Start The Fire - Billy Joel

9. Labamba - Los Lobos

10. Electric Blue - Icehouse (great aussie rock!)

and a few that just missed out

• Beat It - Michael Jackson (for my Michael Jackson loving friend - You know who you are!)
• Dear God - XTC
• Our House - Madness
• Take on me - A Ha
• Everybody Wants to Rule the World - Tears for Fears
• We Built This City - Starship
• We're Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister
• Don't Dream It's Over - Crowded House
• Wired For Sound - Cliff Richard
• Come Over to my Place - Mental as Anything
• I Want to Know What Love Is - ?
• Jump - Van Halen
• Boys of Summer - Don Henley
• I'm Still Standing - Elton John
• She Drives Me Crazy - Fine Young Cannibals

Talk about great music! I could listen to these songs on repeat over and over again (and over). There are probably a few I missed, but these were all I could think of for now...
