ITT: We make a list of Sup Forums's favorite songs of the 1980s.

>post a song from the 1980s that you want on the list
>reply "approved" to songs you want on the list
>songs with 5 replies get on the nomination list
>once that list reaches 100-150 songs, I'll have you guys vote to decide the Top 100
>btw in the top 100, an artist can only show up on the list two times or less. so in the end, only their top two highest voted songs will make the final list (if they get voted to the top 100)

Samefag all you want, I don't care. It's Sup Forums, there are no rules.
