As 100 Melhores Músicas Internacionais dos Anos 80
A lista não segue nenhuma ordem de importância, até porque é impossível definir o que é melhor que o que em gêneros e estilos diferentes.
Hors Concours
- Rick Astley
Nenhuma lista de música dos anos 80 está completa sem o ícone absoluto dessa época, o cara que vendeu mais de 40 milhões de cópias e que, gostando ou não, todos conhecem.
A Austrália não tem só Canguru
AC/DC está nessa lista e deve estar presente em qualquer outra que fale em música. A banda faz sucesso há mais de 35 anos e não dá sinais de parar.

UK Was Burning
O melhor da música dos anos 80 vem, certamente, do Reino Unido. The Cure,The Smiths e Jesus and Mary Chain poderiam ser chamados de “santíssima trindade” da música dessa época, mas isso seria uma injustiça, já que da Ilha vêm também bandas tão boas quanto The Clash, New Order e outras.
