Top 10 80's music

feel good music came from the 80's...who can ever forget the great hits of madonna, michael jackson, toni basil, spandau ballet, bananarama and WHOLE LOT MORE!

the 80's is simply the best decade of music!

so here goes my top 10 all-time favorite 80's hits (i wish i could have 20 but, well, i gotta be true to my blog theme)...hmm, make a part 2 maybe?...hehe...

1. WAITING GAME by Swing Out Sister

Swing Out Sister was formed by Andy Connell and Martin Jackson in 1985...just before they started their first single, Corinne Drewery joined the duo...Waiting Game was a hit in the U.K. in 1989 from their second album Kaleidoscope World...

i super like this song, even had it played over and over almost the entire day...=D

oh, i just remember...i once had my hair cut like that of Corinne when i was little...(can't believe i did the Egyptian-look!)



2. STATE OF THE NATION by Industry

did you know that Industry only had one album?...yup, true...it's entitled Stranger to Stranger...their hit single, State of the Nation, broke through European charts between 1983 and 1984...it was also a hit here in Asia...



3. LOVE IN THE FIRST DEGREE by Bananarama

the song is Bananarama's biggest-selling single in their native UK...it even became 3rd place in the UK singles chart...Love in the First Degree also became a top-10 success in Australia and earned a top-20 placing in New Zealand...although it missed the top-40 in the US, it was a top-10 club hit...how's that for a worldwide success?!




4. ROUND AND ROUND by Spandau Ballet

Spandau Ballet isn't a group of ballerinas...hehe...the group (might've been a 'boy-band' had it been well-known now) was a popular British band in the 80's...their music was initially inspired by a mixture of funk and synthpop but eventually mellowed into a mainstream pop act...

Round and Round came from their 'Parade' album and was a hit in 1985...it even placed 18 in the UK singles chart and 16 in the Australia singles chart



5. STREET BEAT by Toni Basil


6. HEAVEN IS A PLACE ON EARTH by Belinda Carlisle


7. BEAT IT by Michael Jackson


8. KARMA CHAMELEON by Boy George


9. BORDERLINE by Madonna


10. TELEFONE by Sheena Easton


whew! so, there you go! i hope i had the BEST of the BEST!...i SUPER ENJOYED this top 10! i hope you did too! =D
