Can we list some songs?

A few bands/artists I'm faithful to

Blondie
Duran Duran
the Beach Boys
Gloria Gaynor (love her version of "I will survive")
Chicago
Europe

I found this great website that lists most of the 80's hits along w/ their lyrics.
Just thought I'd share...
http://www.afn.org/~afn30091/80songs.html

I think if it weren't for the 80's, we wouldn't be listening to some of the mainstream bands that are on the radio today.
I also love the 80's b/c it seems like there were a lot of taboo topics that were taken on by artist/bands ever more than before.
(i.e.: homosexuality, AIDS, masturbation, nuclear war, politics)

I just don't think they make music like they did in the 80's...

OMG. I lovee zhe 80's music. Especially Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time. XD LOVEE HER SONG.
Heh, I guess most of the songs on my computer are from the 80's.
I don't know what other songs that I listen to that are from the 80's. xP
So, yeshh. I love Time After Time. =3 It's the best song.

{edit}

though most of the artists i've named extend to the 90s and 2000s...

Huge fan of the 80's

However, I'm still trying to learn the songs of the era, since I'm trying to build up my collection

So far, I only have stuff like New Order, Michael Jackson, Blondie, Europe, Wham

I'm a huuugggeee 80's fan..

nobody mentioned Queen yet.

Faith No More
Pixies
Talking Heads
Blondie
