Not to be a wanker, Rich, but Rapper's Delight is from 1979, close but not yet the eighties.

The 80s produced some wonderful music, most of which has already been mentioned. But the 80s were also the decade of the one hit wonder. (I'm too lazy to find Youtube videos; my mouse batteries just ran out, so I'm trackpaddin'.)

The Vapors - Turning Japanese
Sugar Hill Gang - Rapper's Delight
Indeep - Last Night a DJ Saved my Life
EMF - Unbelievable

Not to mention people like the Weather Girls, Right Said Fred, Haddaway, Paul Lekakis, the list goes on.

Today is 80s day in the Scrivs's iTunes player so I figured I would provide you with the day's top 10 80s songs accompanied with YouTube clips. If you know me you know that I'm not big on going outside of hip-hop, R&B and classical, but that doesn't mean I don't like other genres and eras. Keep in mind these are my top 10 80s songs for the day, not a definitive list that I am trying to start a debate over so just sit back and enjoy.

Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
A-Ha - Take On Me
Blondie - Call Me
The J. Giles Band - Centerfold
Michael Jackson - Beat It
Survivor - Eye of the Tiger
Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes
Queen - Another One Bites The Dust
Hall & Oates - Maneater
Prince - When Doves Cry (Universal removed the real video)
