I turned 8 years old in 1980, so my memory of the 70s is not too good, but my older cousin (who I idolized) used to play the Eagles record, "The Long Run" all the time, and since he liked them, so did I (They're still one of my favorite bands of all time, and I haven't seen my cousin in probably 10+ years.) So for the 70s, I'll go with "Heartache Tonight" by the Eagles. As for the 80s, tough, tough call. The radio wore out "Every Breath You Take" by The Police, and of course, Madonna, Prince, and Phil Collins were always popular, along with the hair metal bands like Poison, Cinderella, & Def Leppard (all of whom I still like). But when it's all said and done, Michael Jackson did in one album what 99% of artists can't do over a lifetime of recording music. 'Thriller' is THE album of the 80s, and my personal favorite from the album was "Billie Jean" because that bass line, is FREAKIN' AWESOME still to this day.
And much love to the person who cited Toto's "Africa", one of my other favorite groups of all time.

YIKES! I'll answer with how I'm feeling tonight, because there are WAY more than a couple:
70's = Led Zeppelin, "Going to California"
80's = Simple Minds, "Promised You A Miracle"
Very different (obviously!), but classics in their own right.

I like "How Long" by Ace (70s) and I guess "Doctor, Doctor" by Thompson Twins (80s).

I would be here all day naming them all off, but one that I've enjoyed recently is "Surrender" by Cheap Trick.
