Whats you favorite 80's song?

Yeah I know I'm showing my age but after sitting here and listening to "Only Time Will Tell" by Asia I thought I'd pose the question.

For me:

AC/DC - Hells Bells

Some pretty good ones. Some of those selections did sneak into the 90's though. My 2 cents= Twisted Sister "were not going to take it" Quiet Riot "Metal Health" , Y&T, Tesla, Steelheart, and of course Skid Row and Winger
