30. Big Love - Fleetwood Mac (1987)
The '80's weren't the greatest era for Fleetwood Mac, but Tango In The Night was home to some of their most popular songs, including this little gem. While the '80's studio version is fine, the 1997 live version above is where the song really comes alive.
29. The Safety Dance - Men Without Hats (1982)
It's the Safety Dance! One of the first cds I ever owned was a collection of one-hit wonders, and along with the Escape Club, this was my favourite. It's a song I've listened to hundreds of times and I still don't get tired of it at all.
28. Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car - Billy Ocean (1988)
My love for this song is immense. It's just so wonderfully upbeat and danceable and it's got a hilarious music video to match, if I remember correctly. Billy's got a number of cool songs that I love, but this is my undisputed favourite.
27. Girls On Film - Duran Duran (1981)
If only I could post the 'proper' video for this. Anyways, Girls On Film is still a great song without it and the song that started my mega-love for Duran Duran. A really awesome, popular but kind of unappreciated band.
26. Carrie - Europe (1986)
Europe's album The Final Countdown is one of all-time favourites of the '80's. Seriously. And this cheesy power ballad is the stand-out track. It's loud keyboard-guitar combo is not to be taken seriously, like the lyrics. All that's to be done is sit back and enjoy Joey Tempest's awesome vocals and the slow-paced brilliance of Carrie.
