I'm glad you approve of them.  I know there aren't very many of them that are heavy metal bands in my top 30, but I was more into the pop and rock side of the 80's music.

Wow that is a great 80's list, represents the decade nicely... Personally I would have had more glam rock, but that's just my preferance...

Not really any classic rock in it. I'll stick with U2, the Stones, Genesis, Eagles, Rush, etc. Long live rock and roll and that list isn't it.

Yes Very Nice List. Being I am the biggest fan of 80s music and could tell you every word to ever song listed. I started in the pop rock genre and went straight into Glam & Hard rock. I love music and cant imagine a world without it.

Great list! Desert Moon is my personal favorite on this list. I notice Spandau Ballet songs are not on the list. I personally like Through the Barricades very much.
