The 1980's were stuffed full of great songs and artists, a lot of whom we idolize today. Who has not gone through a phase where they listened to "The Smiths," dressed as Madonna for Halloween, or given "eight sixty-seven fifty-three zero nine" as an automatic answer? This list is, relatively, short; I think it gives an okay overview of some of the best that we still listen to on repeat, sometimes, though.
