There are so many songs from the 1980's that are great, and would be impossible for one to narrow them all down to 10 (although, it's fun to try). I would have to say that one of my all-time favorite 80's tunes would have to be "If You Leave" by OMD. I love the keyboard, the vocals, the lyrics, the image that the song sets in my mind every time I hear it, everything about it.
What are some favorites by other posters here?
Oh, by the way, this is my first post. It's cool that there is an 80's message board on the internet.
