Your #1 favorite 80's song
We all have more than one favorite, but if you had to shift one song to the top of the heap, which would it be?
For me, it would definitely have to be Kyrie by Mr. Mister (from the 1985 album Welcome To The Real World, peaked at #1 in 1986).
This song still gets my attention, even after the nth time listening. Never get tired of it.

That could change by tomorrow, though.

That's just too hard to pick. I could maybe pick an 80s song for different genres... best pop song, rock song, metal song, new wave song, punk song, etc. But even THAT would be a challenge. Otherwise it's too apples and oranges for me. I can't imagine picking between Motley Crue and the Go-Gos, for instance.

I can only narrow it down to two:
"Love Will Tear Us Apart" - Joy Division
"That's Entertainment" - The Jam

Life in a Northern Town by Van Halen would also be right up there.
