What does a typical good song from the 80's sound like? For starters, it has a very cool pop beat similar to Michael Jackson songs like Billie Jean and Thriller. Do any of you remember going into an arcade room, pizza joint, bowling alley or pool hall back in the 80's and recall a song playing? That is what I'm talking about here. Good examples would be "Der Kommissar", "Pac-Man Fever" or "Freeze-Frame". So the main criteria for this list would be a good 80's song with a great dance beat that probably could never be a hit in another decade because it has too much of an 80's feel. Catch my drift? I hope everyone has fun with this list and vote for the best 80's songs that just wouldn't feel the same on the charts in another decade.
