Best Song of the Eighties?

[Griff]

Our Bloom County lawyer is going over the top but the eighties pop music scene really sucked. There were a few punk acts that were amusing but got zero air time unless you lived close enough to a good college station. The Clash was great but for a lot of us that lived through the decade we spent a great deal of time listening to stuff that wasn't really eighties music. I was listening to a lot of sixties stuff and seventies arena rock back then mixed with some blues because the pop airways were populated by the likes of Boy George, Culture Club, Madonna, Frankie Goes to Hollywood blah blah blah. As a generation of listeners [middleagedman]we weren't catered to like today.[/middleagedman] We were trapped at the tail of the baby boom left with whatever scraps they didn't devour.
