Inspired by a post in Girish Shambu’s blog, I would like to make a list of some pop songs in the 1980’s. I got to know most of these songs by reading Artit Promprasit’s column in a now-defunct Thai magazine called Generation Terrorist.

Thanks for these, CelineJulie. I wasn't familiar with most of them. Some of the youtube links are faulty though. #2 links to #8, and #10 to #9.
Oh, thank you very much, Brian. I will correct them. :-)
