Here's a great source for the "New Music" of the 80s, via format pioneer KROQ. I must tell my stories of hanging out with the characters at the station in '84 and '85 (no, come to think of it, I'd better wait another 25 years).
But seriously, "Whip It" was the #1 song of 1980... Frankie said Relax for #1 of 1984, and I love how the Cure's "Love Song" edged out the B52s' "Love Shack" for the top spot in '89.
