What is the Most Iconic Song of the 1980s?

[johnnya24]

I really have never heard it...what year?

I dunno probably early 1980's. I know that UK and US chart music were quite different in the 1980's. There were a lot of "pop" acts that were huge here for a short time, and nowhere else (like Rick Ghastley).

You should be thankful ... some of it was pretty horrifying

Run DMC & Aerosmith - Walk This Way (1986)

Our House - Madness (1983)

This one gets extra points because it's my 3 kids' favorite song.
