88 + 11 + 1+1 Songs from the 80's most Zplendid

Since the 80's wasn't longer a time of super creative ALBUM concepts, I choose from all the strong single SONGS instead. Each artist is represented by one song only. And since this blog is in english I avoid choosing songs made in other languages only.
