Your Song of the 80s

This Summer, Vh1 is taking you back in time to when Madonna was the original Lady Gaga, Prince was called Prince, Boy George looked like a girl, and Prince William's parents were walking down the aisle – yes, it's the 1980s! The decade that produced power dressing, power ballads and powerful political pop messages like 'feed the world', courtesy of Band Aid and the first truly global pop event, Live Aid – the 80s influence can still be seen and heard in music and fashion today.

So join us as we take a stroll down memory lane and reminisce to the soundtrack of our youths by voting for Your Song of the 80s on vh1.co.uk/80s. Vh1's esteemed panel of music experts have put together a list of 60 of the most era-defining songs from the 80s. All you have to do is go through the list, pick your favourite, then click the vote button.
