Okay everybody I decided to try my hands at a tournament. What we're going to do it a 1980's Pop Music Tournament!
For right now I want to leave out Rock (Tom Petty, Aerosmith, etc), Metal (Hair or otherwise) and Hip Hop. I want this one to be about the Pop/Soft Rock/New Wave-type stuff that the 80's are synonymous with. If this goes well, I may have a tourney for those other ones as well. Maybe even having the champ of each going at it in a battle royal.
I think I'm going to set the voting at 5, but it really depends on how popular this gets.
Nominations are unlimited. Just post as much as you want to get in. There will be no limit to how much songs make it, and I'll add a few myself if I feel any are missing.
So get to it guys. Start nominating. I have to go out and run some errands right now, when I get back I'll see what we have.

DP, check out this gem and tell me if it falls under the category of Pop. If it does, and it's in the tourney, I'm convinced it wins without a fight: youtube.com/watch?v=qWcb4YuUo6k

Technically, the song was released in 1978 by Andrew Gold, then re-recorded for the show. But if the re-recording gets included, it's making a run to the Final Four at least.
