I like Everybody's working for the weekend by Loverboy. Dunno why either, their singer sounds like a female 90's techno singer.

adjust your attitude, think before you post wise ass comments, were all just people here and the point made was legit and made tactfully

working for the weekend is a decent song and became one of the standards played on certain radio stations that cater to that generation for everyones friday afternoon ride home from work. Now that were on that subject I can think of another good one, Im not sure what the proper title is or the band but it was kinda funky. "Theres a party in my pants". Of course they always played "take this job and shove it" too, others I cant think of now. Rush "Working Man" but thats not from the 80's though thats when it got most of its air play.

Billy Idol "Rebel Yell" was a really good one. I also like a lot of stuff by the 80's Madonna. I like most all of her singles I can recall except "Like a Virgin". I like White Girl Pop I don't actively listen to it though.

Yes - basically all of 90125 and a few others off Big Generator and Tormato
