This isn't the best song, but I feel it encompasses the whole decade and really gets the feel of the times...

Deniece Williams "Let's Hear It For The Boy"

The best song of the 80's (IMO) is the original 1982 Valerie by Steve Winwood

Yeah I know why you pick that song for encompassing the decade and getting the feel of the times.  That song isn't the best song of the 80s, but it feels so magical.  And the 80s always felt like magic.

As far as hard rock goes...Def Leppard's Photograph is the best song of the 1980's IMO!

Photograph has those classic 80's chords... the guitar bit at the chorus. Good choice!

There are a ton of great songs in the 80s and I agree that 'Let's hear it for the boy' is a definite one up there, but for me it's 'Never gonna give you up' by Rick Astley - I can't help loving that song.  :-[

I think the song "Get Into The Groove" by Madonna totally screams '80's to me; but to pick a song that emcompasses the entire 80's experience, I pick "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits.
