I think "Living on a Prayer" is the best song of the 80s. It is one of my favorite songs.

The 80s is my era. I can make a LONG list of great songs .... but I could never choose just one .....
Duran Duran - The Reflex
Tears for Fears - 'Shout' or 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World'
Modern English - I Melt with You
Elton John - Candle in the Wind
Michael Jackson - Beat It
Madonna - Like A Virgin
U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday
Prince - Little Red Corvette

I agreed with it. It really was THE song of the 80's (or maybe You Give Love a Bad Name). I think people forget just HOW big Bon Jovi was back then. U2 gained more popularity later on. (and With or Without You was on the countdown).
One thing I didn't agree with on the top 20 - Duran Duran should be in it..but I would have went with "The Reflex" and they chose "Hungry Like the Wolf".

Actually, I think a lot of their choices seemed to reflect the popularity of the song's video in many cases. The more airplay the video got back then on MTV, the more popular the song was.
I agree, The Reflex was awesome!

I'll agree with that. They did mention the video a lot...and if they have/had a show on VH1 or MTV, even better. They plugged their reality stuff A LOT.

This was on while I was station flipping in my car today and thought of you.  I listened to the whole thing and sang the Michael Jackson backing vocals.

I was watching a program called "Back In..." on Much More Music, a Canadian Music Channel, and they mentioned he did back up vocals for the chorus. It's really creepy I think. HAHA!

Lol, just reading the title of the thread, the first song that popped into my mind was "Livin' On a Prayer". I love that song. "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman is another one of my favorite 80s songs.
