Post Stuffp Top 40 - 80's songs
Following Flava'd and Shack's top 80's song lists, I decided to post one too. I don't really feel there need to be some rules, but I'd like to keep it to 1 song per artist and I will exclude the songs which are part of my general top 50 songs I posted a few years back (those are in the spoiler below). Also I planned to exclude songs from Flava'd and Shack's list, as I would like to highlight other great songs, but I'll therefor also limit it to 40. Probably will list 5 each day.

16 80's songs already in my top 50 of all time, so the 80's list in this thread is more like my favorite 17-56 ranked 80's songs.

"(I Just) Died in Your Arms" by Cutting Crew
"The Way It Is" by Bruce Hornsby and the Range

For some reason I thought Turn Back Time was part of Cher's Believe era

I tried to rank my songs as much as I could, but they're all just top songs and I feel more about them all needing to be included in this list of favs than that the actual position matters. Also, in finally completing my list I realized I wanted to feature one artist twice. Anyway, my next five.

I'm glad you picked Karma Chameleon instead of Do You Really Want To Hurt Me which I never liked

Yeah, I always liked Karma Chameleon and I think Do You Really Want To Hurt Me is fine actually, but nothing special at the same time.

Your #23 song makes me want to defeat the prime minister of Malaysia for some reason.

I keep forgetting that Relax isn't by Wham considering the Zoolander thing

One Night in Bangkok in a nice song I never knew the artist/name of. Would make a good rap sample "One night in ______ (dangerous American city) makes the hard man humble"

Holding Out for a Hero so epic

I forgot there are two different Forever Young songs

I might have snuck Gloria into my top 60 if I remembered it. Don’t You Want Me was also close.

I believe Michael Jackson, Bonnie Tyler and Phil Collins are the only three people that have appeared on all 3 lists so far. I forgot about HoFaH, might have put it over Total Eclipse.

So down, to my final five.

I just came across a song I had forgotten, but which may very well have cracked this Top 40.

And actually it kind of works to put it here (in spoiler tags) before posting 1-5.

Some solid picks in the top 5, can't complain too much about Bruce getting #1 and Dancing in the Dark would have made my top 30 if i didn't pick a different Bruce song, and With Or Without You is great also. I don't know the Opus and Commuter songs all that much. I also have to listen to some of the non Eye of the Tiger Survivor Songs.
