Male/Female vocals?

I second compGuy's suggestion - "Josie's on a vacation far away ...!".

also,

Eddie Money - Take Me Home Tonight

and

Boston - More Than a Feeling

but don't forget

Edit: This song is from 1993 my bad
James - Laid ("This bed is on fire with passion and love...")

Why the '80s? Shouldn't we be talking about the best songs of the '90s by now? Anyhoo...

Duran Duran - Hungry Like the Wolf
A-Ha - Take on Me
Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar on Me
Bon Jovi - Livin? on a Prayer
Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead or Alive

Not "the best," but mentioned because it's a visually interesting video of 80s music:
Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel

80's new wave/pop is easily my least favorite genre of music ever. I absolutely loathe all of those bands like Tears For Fears, Flock of Seagulls, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Culture Club, etc.

However, a lot of good hard rock/heavy metal emerged in the 80's as well and that's mostly what I listened to during that time.

 

[meltdown75]

Ok. I like No One Is To Blame by Howard Jones. I seriously think that is my favourite all-time 80s tune.

Pretty sure I had the same response in 100 other 80s tunes threads

 

[MiniDoom]

Duran Duran - Rio
Journey - Don't Stop Believing
The Outfield - I Don't Want To Lose Your Love Tonight
Aha - Take On Me
Billy Idol - Eyes Without A Face
Tears For Fears - Head Over Heels

 

[new2AMD]

Broken wings - Mister Mister
Goody Two Shoes - Adam Ant

The Outfield - Your Love

 

[Kev]

A-ha - Take on me is my favorite.

Runners up:
Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence
Don Henley - Boys of Summer
Cars - Drive, Just what I needed

 

[nageov3t]

Modern English - Melt With You is one of my favorite songs of all time, and definitely my favorite 80's song.

 

[AnitaPeterson]

It's a Sin - Pet Shop Boys
Rebel Yell - Billy Idol
Shout - Tears for Fears
Strangelove - Depeche Mode
People are People - Depeche Mode
Wonderful Life - Black
Anything by Modern Talking (couldn't resist!)

Best 80's songs in what genre? The 80's were probably the best decade of music for rock, followed closely by the 70's. If you listen to a rock station, they continue to play a lot of music from the 80's.
