Alright, to save time I'm going with my most favourites.
98. Juice Newton — Queen Of Hearts (1981) - This always got stuck in head but I didn't know it until
JessieLou showed me it. Thanks <3
96. Bangles — Walk Like An Egyption (1986) - A classic!
95. Alannah Myles — Black Velvet (1989) - Just barely making the cut, are we?
Great song.
94. Starship — Sara (1985) - I use Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now more, but this is good too.
89. Human League — Don’t You Want Me (1981) -
Workin' in a Cocktail Bar ftw Love this one and Tell Me When too!
88. Blondie — The Tide Is High (1980) - Didn't someone rip this off? Was it Paris Hilton? I don't care, the original is great.
87. Heart — What About Love (1985) - Not their best from this era but it's up there!
86. Prince — When Doves Cry (1984)
EEEEW MONKEYFACE Classic!
85. Journey — Don’t Stop Believing (1981) - I liked this one before it was cool.
84. Beach Boys — Kokomo (1988) - It's no Good Vibrations but I enjoy it. Love the Muppets video!
83. Paula Abdul — Straight Up (1988) - Probably the most R&B-influenced 80s song you'll see me stan for. I love this!
81. Eurythmics — Here Comes The Rain Again (1984) - You can't go wrong with Eurythmics!
78. Talk Talk — It’s My Life (1984) - This one is overlooked by No Doubt these days. I like both of them.

73. Roy Orbison — You Got It (1989) - I had no idea this was a cover.
Probably my favourite from him.

71. Huey Lewis & the News — If This Is It (1984) - One of their best!
EXTRA Buggles — Video Killed The Radio Star (1981) - The song that kickstarted a new generation of music is an EXTRA? Well I never.
68. Toto — Africa (1982) - This is a bop.
65. John Mellencamp — Jack And Diane (1982) - One of his best!
64. John Waite — Missing You (1984) - Beautiful song!
62. Starship — We Built This City (1985) - SMASH
61. Prince — 1999 (1982) - He should have done a cover in 1999 called 1982.
Sorry Jess, I like Monkeyface!
60. David Bowie — Modern Love (1983) - One of his best!
54. Dire Straits — Walk Of Life (1985) - You can't go wrong with that synth.

46. Rod Stewart — Forever Young (1988) - Another great song of his.
44. Pat Benetar — We Belong (1984) - Jess stans for it more than I do obviously, but it's a great song!
43. George Michael — Faith (1987) - Thank you George Michael for the awesome original, I hate you Limp Bizkit for what you did to it.

25. Katrina & The Waves — Walking On Sunshine (1985) - This could put a smile on Satan himself.
22. Fine Young Cannibals — She Drives Me Crazy (1989) - It's interesting to think this was considered "Alternative" at the time...but it was!
