Despite being born in the 80s, I never really got into 80s music until I was at uni. All the birds seemed to love 80s club hits.
Any of Michael Jackson's hits from that era.
So many songs. Just looked at VH1's top 100 tunes of the 80s:
Livin on a prayer
When doves cry
Under pressure
In the air tonight
Cruel summer
Sweet dreams
Push it
Don't you want me
Cars
I've recently been working my way through some of the rock bands like Dire Straits.
