what are the best 80s Rock songs?

Answer 1

Pure Some Sugar On Me; By DEF LEPARD

Answer 2

There's a bunch of answers from people who don't know ROCK - the Police were (white) reggae for example.

But the sad sack of the day award goes to Sexington, for thinking the #1 ROCK song of the 80's was a Michael Jackson tune. You should dig a hole & never come out in public, for thinking the great pedophile does ROCK music - you poor, poor little person, you.

P.S. The best rock songs of 80's was Motorhead/Girlschool's - Please don't touch.

Answer 3

Purple Rain - Prince and The Revolution
When Doves Cry - Prince
Every Rose - Poison
Anything For Love - Meatloaf
Highway to Hell - ACDC
Touch Too Much - ACDC
Joan Jett - I Love Rock and Roll

Some of these are just my favorite songs in general, disregarding the decade.

Answer 4

Alphavile - Sound like a melody
Gazebo -Telephone Mama
Duran-Duran - Wild boys
Aha -Take on Me
Genesis - Home By The Sea

may be only Genesis that categorized as rock though
