I voted for 5 of them, but my fave songs from 1984 are "She-bop" Cindy Lauper and "They don't know" Tracey Ullman.

On the list, my fave is "I want to know what love is" by Foreigner or "Careless Whisper" by Wham.

Julio's "Bel Air Place" was a great album. My Mum had it on in the car most days.

My mom was also a big Julio fan, and who could blame her.  He's a babe!

I hadn't heard this song in years until about a week or so ago, and stylistically it's completely different than your normal 80's song, but I had to throw it in here:

(Robert Plant totally has the Elvis mojo going on!  :D)

"I Can Dream About You" by Dan Hartman and "Do What You Do" by Jermaine Jackson were good songs from '84 too. I think Lionel Richie had hits like "Stuck On You", and "Hello" that year too.
