Obviamente, es imposible aunar en un pequeño conjunto de 100 elementos, las mejores canciones de los 80, pero voy a intentar (a mi criterio) hacer una lista de lo que son para mi, los éxitos más fuertes de la mejor década en el mundo de la música.







NOTA: Si, hay algunas canciones de los 70, pero son demasiado buenas como para dejarlas fuera de la lista. ¡Ojo! ¡No están ordenadas de mejor a peor! La numeración es simplemente para facilitar la referenciación en los comentarios a los lectores, por si quieren comentar alguna anécdota.
