Readers' Poll: The 10 Worst Songs of the 1980s
rolling stone ^ | 10/6/2011 | Andy Greene

Posted on 03/16/2018 2:50:37 PM PDT by SoFloFreeper

A few weeks ago we asked our readers to vote for their least favorite songs from the 1990s, so it was the obvious next move to dial it back 10 years and see what you guys hated in the 1980s. The results are sure to infuriate a lot of people. For the record, I personally disagree with most of these selections. In fact, I love a lot of these songs...

10. Rick Astley - 'Never Gonna Give You Up'...

9. Taco - 'Puttin' On The Ritz'...

8. Toni Basil - 'Mickey'...

7. Bobby McFerrin - 'Don't Worry Be Happy'...

6. Falco - 'Rock Me Amadeus'...

5. Men Without Hats - 'The Safety Dance'...

4. Wham! - 'Wake Me Up (Before You Go Go)'....

3. Chris de Burgh - 'Lady In Red'....

2. Europe - 'The Final Countdown'...

1. Starship - 'We Built This City'...

Personally, I was impressed when they opened the World Trade Center, but this, this is a piece of work.

I never liked them much, but for some reason this one stirs up fond memories of a girl I knew in my middle school years:

Men at Work -- I Can See It In Your Eyes

This was the best Men at Work song you never heard at all on the radio.

I'll forgive her for that one, because she did one of the best duets I'd ever heard in my life with the late Pat DiNizio of The Smithereens, "In a Lonely Place".

I like a lot of those too...I liked almost everything the Cars put out, Bruce Hornsby and the Range! You have no idea of the acute level of nostalgia I just felt in my heart when I saw that name!

It was wonderful!

I had such a good time in the Eighties...and the Seventies...:)
