I just saw that movie 13 Going On 30 a few days ago and then we went over to my sister-in-laws house and watched the Wedding Singer the next day. Man those two movies are really making me miss a bunch of those 80's songs. Its hard for me to pick a favorite as so many of them were really great songs. Video Killed The Radio Star and Its A Dead Man's Party easily make the top 20 list, but I just cant pick my #1 favorite (or #2-5).

Blinded By Science - Thomas Dolby
My '80s experience was also largely defined by anything by Beru Revue (a local Philly band). Shall we?

Back in '82, I played the crap outta Combat Rock by The Clash. I'll pick Should I Stay or Should I go.

Maybe not the best, but Blood Makes Noise by Suzanne Vega is up there on my list.

99.9°F is a fantastic album, one of my favorites. Not a bad song on it. However it was released in the early 1990s.
Oh, and I need to add Peter Gabriel's Shock the Monkey to my list of greatest 80s songs. And Men at Work - Down Under
