The 80's are coming back, and it's so weird...yesterday I was at Media Play with my friend and we saw a display with back-to- school stuff and it was all Care Bears and Strawberry Shortcake folders, stickers, etc. I seriously felt like I was 7 years old again, it was a flashback. lol

That was my first favorite song before I heard With or Without You. I also love the video.

It was a while before I actually started buying music and the Joshua Tree was my first album, so other than U2 pretty much all of my favs from the 80s are just songs I heard on the radio.

The Cure ~ Just Like Heaven

Depeche Mode ~ People are People, Personal Jesus (was that released in '89? I think so.)

NIN ~ Head Like a Hole ('89)

The Pet Shop Boys ~ West End Girls, It's a Sin

REM ~ The One I Love, Orange Crush

Runner up:

Culture Club ~ Karma Chameleon

How about the rest of you? What are your fave 80's songs (U2 songs are a given!)?
