O/T Mega Poptastic Pop Quiz (18)

[CAMiller]

Almost half way through the International Break. Solid Gold 1980s all the way for this one and even if it's not your era most of these are very well known songs so give it a try. Every one of them was in the top 100 sales for at least one of the years between 1980-1989. Which ones will you go for? Beware the artists, I'm looking for the 1980s versions so some might just be re-releases, some might be cover versions and some might even be collaborations with the original artists.

REMEMBER - song title and artists needed and limit 5 entries per poster before you need to take a 24 hour break to give others a chance and NO GOOGLING PLEASE.. Pull the answers from the depths of your brain. I know it's tempting when you know 40-50 of these to show your musical chops to the world but please stick to the 5 songs per poster limit and leave some for others.
