What was Your Favorite Song of 1980?
This was mine.
Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall - Live - 1980
Christopher Cross
Sailing
Ft Ord (CA) 1969. Friend at Ft Hood same time.
Mirror In the Bathroom - English Beat
Another One Rides the Bus by Weird Al. I was in elementary school and was the first kid to get picked up and the last one to be dropped off on the bus route. I heard it countless times while riding the bus.
There are many good songs that year. This one is better than anyone posted so far.
Against the wind, Bob Seger

Squeeze! One of my very favorite bands...
Heaven and Hell..Black Sabbath..
Take the long way home
Against the wind
The Rose
The Wall
Make it another vote for Against the Wind, Bob Seger.
The only Fleetwood Mac song from that year that I care for is this one:
Fleetwood Mac - “Fireflies”
Hey Nineteen- Steely Dan. Or anything from the Gaucho album.
I agree. ONJ, “Magic.”

I like this 1980 song from Dire Straits (especially this performance of it)
Anything by Don Williams is a winner...I had to peruse the thread for a minute, but I pick this one too.
