Absolute Radio asked its UK listeners and viewers of MTV, Viva and Vh1 "What is the greatest song of the 80s?" and put them to the vote. U2 has three songs in the list: the best ranked was "With or Without You" in 18th position ,"Where The Streets Have No Name" is nº 36 and further down, 63rd appears " Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For".
The top five include:
- Culture Club - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me
- Culture Club - Karma Chameleon
- Inxs - Need You Tonight
- A-Ha - Take On Me
- Michael Jackson - Thriller

| INXS:The New Wave genre’s inclusion of straight ahead rock music tinged with pop sensibilities. Need You Tonight,” the best New Wave song the band would ever produce. |
Power ballads, power dressing, big hair, the death of punk and the birth of new musical movements like electro, shock pop and the New Romantics – the 80s might have been the decade taste forgot, but it provided some of the most memorable moments in music history!
Live Aid rocked the world, while the likes of Boy George and Madonna shocked the world. The 80s inspired a generation to express themselves through music, fashion and a change the world attitude – and its influence can still be seen and heard today.
So many songs from the 80s resonate with audiences old enough to remember, and young enough not to have even been born.
