Big hair, glam, shoulder pads, and an explosion of unforgettable hits, the 1980s gave us the ultimate mixtape of pop, rock, R&B, and power ballads. Music videos actually premiered on MTV, phones had cords, and everyone survived without Google.  From synth-pop to stadium rock, moonwalks to mullets, this list is packed with the hits that defined the neon-lit generation.

So grab your Walkman, pull on those leg warmers, and crank up the volume… the ’80s are calling.
