Best 80's Rock Single

[Reality]

(I think at this point, many of us are just going with good and not what we consider candidates for the best...just cause)

Loved that song by Dokken

Holy throwback. I literally haven't heard this song since the 80's. It was getting more familiar as I listened to it and I was like...oh yeah! and started humming the melody along with it. lol

Way too many songs to choose from.You could easily pick a best song for each year of the 80s and have a gem. My vote goes to Money for nothing, Dire Straits is probably one of the more underrated rock bands of their era. Since someone already picked that one here's another:

I always liked Cinderella. It surprised me they weren't bigger.

Dire Straits has a fantastic library of songs, and Mark Knopfler is one of my favorite guitarists.

And a really good story teller. I've got most of his releases after Dire Straits and could listen to them for hours. The sound quality of the recordings is top notch.

Maybe not the best of the 80s, but one of the best damn intros for sure.

If we're talking about the best song to come out in the 80's.... I'll have to get back to this.

If we're talking about the most quintessentially 80's song.... Hungry Like the Wolf - Duran Duran....80's wasn't a great period, musically speaking.

It was a super great period.

This is mine add....

This one's mine dear. I still get goosebumps when I hear it. Bono's always been a hottie.

It was a super great period.

And that my friend is putting it lightly. Just ask @The Fonz .
