The music from the 1980s can not ever be imitated, it was something that was extremely out of the ordinary and even more innovative for what is known as pop culture. Everlasting imprints were made by the music industry and the artists that are still being widely listened to today. Listed below are some of the greatest hits to rock (arguably the best era of music) the 80s:

1. "Come On Eileen"

Performed by Dexy's Midnight Runners, this hit peaked at number one on Billboard on April 23rd, 1983 and was the groups only widely known track in America. However, this tune is still being listened to globally. The electrifying rhythm incorporated with its unique mix of new wave, folk and pop is what has made this number completely timeless.

2. "Jessie's Girl"

Released at the start of the decade, Australian singer Rick Springfield made his mark in the 1980's with his number one hit, "Jessie's Girl." Jessie's Girl" actually took quite a while to hit number one; it took approximately 19 weeks to reach that spot. This song never fails to put anyone in a good mood. Between the relatable lyrics and the hyped up beat, no one ever gets tired of this classic tune.

3. "Let's Dance"

The late David Bowie revolutionized music as we know it today. Aside from this track being one of his biggest, "Let's Dance" shed a light on many different genres of music. Between new wave, disco and some pop incorporated in as well, we are able to indulge into an extremely exclusive period of time in music.

4. "Uptown Girl"

Billy Joel was already a household name before this track was released. However, this was the track that opened many doors for him relating directly to a specific audience. The song speaks for itself as it's about a downtown man who tries to obtain the love of a uptown woman. Due to its sincere lyrics and fun beat, it's no wonder this song peaked at number three on Billboard.
