What's this?

What ONE song would you say defines the 80s?


I say Dire Straits “Money For Nothing”. It was released in the middle of the decade, defined the first half of the decade, and set the tone and social goal for the second half of the decade. The video was neon everything, and the lyrics described the glitzy rich life everyone aspired to.

What say you?
