Top 200 Songs of 1980s

I've made one of these for the 2010s, not sure if the current version of that is up on this blog, but I decided to try the other decades I was alive in, even though I was only alive in 1989 of the 80s (1988 if you count Mom being pregnant with me), so most of this comes from experience after the fact and nothing personal.  The 1990s one will likely be similar, and this list may change over time as I become aware of more 80s music.
