I LOVE top 10 (or more!) lists, so I am going to dedicate my blog to top 10 (or more!) lists :-)
So here are MY favorite songs of the 80s! And I cannot just do 10! Too many great songs to include! You may or may not agree, but it doesn't matter. This isn't your 80s - this is MY 80s! It's subject to change, of course, but these are pretty much the biggest and best to me...though I did intentionally limit myself to one song per artist for variety's sake...
And, please, feel free to share yours, too!
