What's the greatest love song from the 1980s?

[BangBang]

Oh yeah this is a classic. Very good choice.

Top Gun

Not the best, yo. Just most memorable from my own childhood, that I'd listen too from early Unrequited passed notes where she didn't check the like me box, shot down, & at best a couple times... early heartbreak. lol.

Just looking back, Boys of Summer Video is archetypally great.
Perfect. I relate to this song & video in the same ways & yet different than I did as kid.
Timeless/Archetypal.

Ah Ha didn't really see until a few years after video/song came out on TBS (up all night) VH1 & MTV but was my favorite as a kid in middle school years. I didn't get into girls and music prior to being 9/10, reckon.

Most depressing eighties love song:



Sad veiled bride, please be happy
Handsome groom, give her room
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
(Though she needs you
More than she loves you)

Gotta love The Smiths

This song was personal for me when I was in high school. I had a thing for a girl who was from a different social status so in her eyes we couldn't be together no matter how we actually felt about each other.

This whole album was a game changer for me. I still like to use the phrase "honey dripping beehive" from time to time.

Not the greatest, but one of the greatest:

That song was written by Dolly in the 70's, and Whitney performed it in the 90's.

Gotta love The Smiths

Just seeing the words "back to the old house" almost made me cry.

I'll stop the world and melt with you
Never tear us apart

I saw Honeymoon Suite play this live on a double bill with Platinum Blonde.

Personally I would have gone with this as their best love song. Definitely the most soul crushing.
