and Top 80 Happiest Songs of the 80s

I'm curious what others think of the top 10 on these lists. I totally disagree with a lot of the "happiest" songs, but it's probably because I listened to KROQ music more so than Top 40 popular music. I would totally have to move up Duran Duran, INXS, Billy Idol, Flesh for Lulu (I Go Crazy from Some Kind of Wonderful soundtrack), Stray Cats, and Prince, especially Prince. I cannot listen to a classic Prince song without tapping my foot or want to jump up and dance. I love 80s Prince! So pipe in and share which ones you would move up.

As for the Top 80 movie quotes of the 80s, I was kind of bummed by #1 because I think it's one of the most over-quoted lines from a movie of all times as well. As for the rest of the list, the movies I tend to quote the most from the 80s are a lot of the Hughes flicks, Star Wars, Princess Bride, Back to the Future, and, of course, Top Gun. However, I do love the Wolverines! yell from Red Dawn. I loved that cheesy piece of crap when I was younger. One film missing from the list though is Pee Wee's Big Adventure. There are a couple lines I always love from that film. Yes, I was a P.W. fan when I was younger. So which movie quotes do you rank higher?
