Better song than "Hold me now" from the 80's?

From the 80's what?

1980'''''s music of the world

I love the 80's wrote:

Thompson Twins FTW!!!!

Discus MOFOs!!!!!!!!!!!!

So good - no debate about the greatness of this song.

Better? Hard to say, here is an incomplete list of candidates:

Our lips are sealed (go-gos)

Electric Avenue (Eddy Grant)

In a big country (Big Country)

Private Idaho (B52s)

West End Girls (Pet Shop Boys)

Fascination (The Human League)

Actually I need to stop - I'll never get work done if I keep listing. There are so many others.

Uhh yeah have you ever heard of safari song by greta van fleet?

I Ran, by A Flock of Seagulls sticks out to me. Everyone Wants To Rule The World, by Tears for Fears is another one.

Not the 80's, but amazing how much these guys sound like Led Zep. Not sure if that's intentional or not. Love the sound!

They're touring now.

Highway Tune:

I’m gonna go with WASP’s. F@@K like a Beast.

Aren't you sick of those songs? I used to like them too, but no more. I prefer the forgotten 80s.

If you pine over the music of your generation, you are a loser. It's like a guy on a Harley cruising through town blasting Bob Seger and looking around smugly as if he is privy to some awesomeness only known and appreciated by him.

some real 80s

More Than This, Avalon - Roxy Music

......for starters

Alphaville - Forever Young

Modern English- I melt with you

The Smiths- How soon is now?

Pet Shop Boys- suburbia

Simple Minds- Don't you forget about me

Stop! STOPPPP!!!

You're killin' me. Actually I like "Space Age Love Song" more than "I Ran". The sound Paul Reynolds got out of his guitar was awesome.
