What Song Most Encapsulates the 1980s?

I think these are strong contributors - the 80s had so many non-mainstream contributors, so I felt compelled to throw in Madness and Violent Femmes

To me it was bands like The Damned, Psychedelic Furs, Siouxie and the Banshees, The Violent Femmes, early REM and U2 that changed the landscape of music in the early 80’s.

Each of those bands played the Colony Ballroom or Richie Coliseum at University of Maryland in their formative years. Both venues were dives 😊
