Guilty pleasures of 80's pop songs

I feel like making a disk of cheesy 80's pop songs. The kind you deny even knowing but aren't ashamed to belt out every single word when you're driving alone at night on a deserted road. So, reccomendations!

    Do a search on amazon.com and then look at all the 80's compilation albums. They usually have short 'listen' links, you can take your pick of the ones that take your fancy and download them elsewhere. You may find some good songs that you had completely forgotten about and not considered. :)
