Often times when we think of great music, we think of the 60s and 70s. The 80s gave us some righteous songs as well.

“Livin’ on a Prayer” from Bon Jovi became a stadium staple, with the boys enjoying loud crowds and a memorable hook. The blue-collar work ethic of the 80s was definitely represented in this tune.

Phil Collins had great success in the 80s with tunes line “In the Air Tonight,” “I Don’t Care Anymore,” and “Take Me Home,” all classics.

“What I Like About You” from the Romantics was all about the red leather outfits – OMG! This Motown band stayed around long enough to make a fair amount of money in the 80s.

“Money for Nothing” was the perfect MTV song from Dire Straits, proving Mark Knopfler the scuffle-guitar king of his generation.

“Don’t Stop Believing” is the single best song from the 80s that has taken on a life of its own in every sporting venue since its release. Journey is arguably the gold standard of 80s bands, with this memorable single defining a cult following of kids with chips on their shoulders.
