I was listening to that song on Monday. It's something I've thought about nominating for song tournaments. I can't remember if I ever actually did.

EDIT: That was meant about Moonlight Shadow. You posted before I could. :)

7. Irene Cara "Flashdance... What A Feeling"

[Sexy Celebrity]

"All Night Long" was the first song I thought of for the Getting to Know You Song Tournament.

However, I decided to use it for my first Super Fast Song Tournament, so I decided to not use it again.

I hate Uptown Girl. You have no idea how many times I've heard my mum play that bloody song. :D

I wouldn't even try to make a top ten from 1983, too many great ones.

[Tugg]

1. Bonnie Tyler "Total Eclipse of the Heart"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcOxhH8N3Bo

[mark f]

I like #2 & #6 the most. :) I guess my songs would be more toward the rock end of pop. :cool:

“Blue Monday” New Order
“This Charming Man” Smiths
“Radio Free Europe” R.E.M.
“Fields of Fire” Big Country
“The Metro” Berlin
“A Million Miles Away” Plimsouls
“New Year’s Day” U2
“Red Red Wine” UB40
“White Wedding” Billy Idol
“Burning Down the House” Talking Heads

[honeykid]

Total Eclipse Of The Heart is one of the great pop songs of all time. :cool: It's a brilliant choice. It also reminds me of my first school disco. :D

[cricket]

Several very good songs there.

[mojofilter]

Great list! I love all those songs with the exception of Words.


Billie Jean, All Night Long, and Uptown Girl would be in my Top 5.


Where's Beat It?

Nice throwback thread and song selection Tugg!
Working on my top 10 now, much harder than a top movie list.
