What is the best 80s song ever?
 

Allow us to get a little nostaglic for a moment...

What, in your opinion, is the best 80s song ever - something which defines that decade and brings the memories flooding back.
I may be "only" 25 but I'm old enough to remember tuning into Bruno Brookes to listen to the latest Belinda Carlisle track on Radio 1.

Think 1/2 pennies, the Sun for 10p, Porsche 911s, credit cards, radios with LCD displays and Minder.

Here's some to start you off:
Toto - Africa
Foreigner - Waiting for a girl like you
Paula Abdul - Straight up
Billy Idol - You spin me right round
Bon Jovi - Living on a prayer
(Top Gun movie) - Take my breathe away
Air Supply - I just died in your arms tonight
Bonnie Tyler - Total eclipse of the heart
Belinda Carlisle - Heaven is a place on earth
Kate Bush - Running up that hill
Thin Lizzy - Whiskey in the jar

Any more? :)
