Favourite 80's Track

[dfox77]

Hi All
As i spent my teenage years in the 80's I have a close affinity with the music of that decade & I have decided to collect as many songs released as singles as I can.
I currently have a file on my computer with 1427 tracks in it.

So my question to you all is, What is your favourite 80;s song, just in case it's one I haven't got?
