I don't know; it's hard to say. I grew up around a lot of music, so it has influenced me in a big way. I spent my life soaking it all in, and as a result, I enjoy a wide variety, different styles and different eras. I don't think I have an absolute favorite, but I have a wide range of songs I really, really enjoy. And I guess you can say I have my "favorite of the moment", which happens when one is simply "into music" as I am. Some of you may be able to relate.

Since we're focusing on 80s, I will post a few that I really like.

As far as Christian music goes, my first influence in that traces back to the mid-1980s, when I went to an Amy Grant concert. Therefore, I credit her in that my personal music collection started with her music!

Here are some notable favorites:

I don't know that I could pick only one song to be my favorite. I mainly listened to country and hard rock during that time. But if I had to narrow it down to a single song then I would have to go with "Photograph" by Def Leppard.

 

[WannaWitness]

Another classic!

Round and Round by Ratt

I bought my first car, a 1970 Ford Torino 2dr, in 1985, and every time I hear Round and Round, I instantly am transported back in time to the sounds and smells of that old Ford. I installed a tape deck and a couple of 6"x9" speakers and the first tape I played was Ratt's. Lack of Communication has the same effect as well, lol.

 

[Heiwa]

It's hard to pick one song. Seeing so many of them are good.

New Moon On Monday - Duran Duran
Pride (In the Name of Love) - U2
Just Like Heaven - The Cure
I wanna be Sedated - The Ramons
Rock you Like a Hurricane - Scorpions
Head over Heals - The Go Go's

The list could go on and on.

Cruel Summer by Bananarama.

 

[The Hammer of Witches]

SRV was one of the best guitarists to ever live. His live performances were better than his studio recordings in most cases, which really highlights his talent. Here are just a few of my personal favorites of his. Have not saw the legend mentioned in the thread so I have to fill that requirement.
