Wow! Another new poster! Welcome, Ann! Kind of scares me that there might be tons of people out there just reading,not posting... like Dot????

or jon??....now that would be hilarious...i mean the guy would be seriously freaked! especially when he knows we all know were he lives and some of us have been there and that we dream about his magic wand etc etc etc!!!!lol!!!!

I think that guns n roses should of gotten first place

Bon Jovi was already the number one band in my book, but now I was convinced that VH1 made the right decision with their number 1 pick! After watching it I became obsessed with Livin' on a Prayer again, haha

I know, while we were watching I was like where is the Jovi?????? I just KNEW that one of their songs would be #1. When they said who was #1 I about knocked my recliner over I jumped up so fast...lol. My hubby just shook his head and quietly went to bed...lol. He is soooooooo very sick of hearing about Bon Jovi.

Back in Black has to be in top 10

I was really surprised that vh1 chose Bon Jovi. they really werent a huge representation of what the 80s were all about. I really think a song like 'Purple Rain' should've been number 1.

Dude, you're in New Jersey and you're saying they "weren't a huge representation of what the 80s were all about???" Have you lived under a rock for the past 25 years??????????

Purple Rain represented the 80's? if you are going to pick a Prince song to represent, pick when doves cry or let's go crazy before purple rain.

Either way, no one song represents and entire decade. We have new wave, hard rock, pop, dance, modern rock, rap, r&B and so many other genres to represent the decade and there are tons literally tons of songs that represented the 80's

LOAP was a huge huge song, one of many different ones that made up the 80's and their entire list.

The list asks what were the top songs of the decade not which one song encapsulates all our experiences. If one song could do that, we'd be rather dull, or it would have to sound pretty strange and be extremely long.

OB, I think that one song exists...and it's called We Didn't Start The Fire by Billy Joel. The single most ridiculously sounding, nonsense song I've ever heard!!! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!
