Exactly... OP should be shot at point blank range.

1. Phil Collins - In The air Tonight

2. Phil Collins - True Colours

3. Phil Collins - another Day In Paradise

Now if you play these 10 times in a row you MAY be forgiven!

Unfortunately the 80s were defined by some bollocks music

That said some good stuff was made

3 of my favourites

Run to You - Bryan Adams

Spirit of Radio - Rush

Romeo & Juliet - Dire Straits

To name but three

Some great toons already mentioned. For me the 80's was defined by Live Aid and that epic summer of 1985. My top two are from that year and the other was a song that came to define a person.

1) Don't you forget about me

2) Everybody wants to rule the world

3) Karma Chameleon
