Some of you may remember a few months ago my 90s music contest with my coworker and if you dont here it was ->90s CD contest. Hes been sore about whomping him and challenged me to an 80s music play off.

Heres the list so far.

Dreams are made of these
You spin me right round
Never gonna give you up
Electric ave
Whip it
Money for nothing, chicks for free


Not as big of a list as last time since i was born in `84 cool.gif Can anyone give me some help on some "good" 80s pop music?

Oh lordy. Anyway I can filter this one particular thread from ever appearing on my main page? I hate hearing about the 80s! Let them go! It's been 20 years!
