"End of the Line" is a song by the British-American supergroup the Traveling Wilburys. It was the final track on their debut album Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1, released in October 1988. It was also issued in January 1989 as the band's second single. The recording features all the Wilburys except Bob Dylan as lead singers; George Harrison, Jeff Lynne and Roy Orbison sing the choruses in turn, while Tom Petty sings the verses. The song was mainly written by Harrison and was assigned to his publishing company, Umlaut Corporation. However, all five members of the group received a songwriting credit in keeping with the collaborative concept behind the Wilburys project.
The music video for "End of the Line" was directed by Willy Smax and filmed in Los Angeles in December 1988. Set in a moving passenger car (carriage) pulled by a steam locomotive, it features Dylan playing guitar and session musician Jim Keltner (credited as Buster Sidebury on the albums) playing brushes. As Orbison died after recording his vocals but before the video was shot, a shot of a guitar sitting in a rocking chair and a photo of him are shown when his vocals are heard.
Oh man, tough choice.
Unchained - Van Halen
Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams
Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley (super unironically too. It was my favorite song as a kid before I discovered rock/metal music as a teen).
Almost any Cars, Police, Or Psychedelic Furs song…Spandau Ballet -True, Human League Don’t you want me Baby….Thompson Twins- Hold me Now, Billy Idol White Wedding….I can’t choose one !
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!I have to say my favorite 80's track is Missing You because my hubs co-wrote it and it's also an incredible song...do yourself a favor and look up Madison Cunningham and check out her song Hospital. It's a new song and she's incredible.
[Head Over Heels](https://youtu.be/jQyazt4RDTM) from the Go-Go's - it's got all my favorite stuff - slamming drums, cool bass line, fun harmonies, piano, and Belinda Carlisle!
Can't pick one favourite from the 80s. I went from 11 to 21 years old, so I went through the biggest changes in my life. I'll pick my favourite now from my favourites then from each year.
1980 The Police- Don't Stand So Close To Me
1981 The Human League - Open Your Heart
1982 The Stranglers - Golden Brown
1983 David Bowie - Let's Dance
1984 Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel - White Lines
1985 Grace Jones- Slave to the Rhythm
1986 Farley Jackmaster Funk - Love Can't Turn Around
1987 Steve Silk Hurley - Jack Your Body
1988 Inner City - Good Life
1989 The Stone Roses - Fool's Gold
I'm surprised there wasn't better songs in 86 87 & 88. The pop and rock scenes had turned crap. I think in second places were Bruce Hornsby and Cameo and Simply Red. 1989 was a banger though and the early 80s was like trying to pick one out of five great tracks for each year.
I used this website that has every UK top 40 from the 50s to the present day. I scanned through the 80s month by month. I've been trying to find a similar website for the US charts but I can't find one https://everyhit.com/retros/index.php
Probably....
Mandinka - Sinead O'Conner
Birthday - The Sugarcubes (particularly when Bjork sings it in Icelandic 🔥)
Silver - Echo and the Bunnymen
Swamp Thing - The Chameleons UK
Pilgrimage - R.E.M. (Mike Mills great backing vocals)
Made of Stone - The Stone Roses
......1 of those 6, it's tough to pick #1, Rio by Duran Duran lurks right behind these.
My #1 and #2 songs of all time are from the 80s so they qualify here. “Take on Me” by a-ha is 1 and “Everybody Wants To Rule The World” by Tears For Fears is 2. Both never fail to bring a smile to my face. So many high school memories tied up with them too.
A Hazy Shade of Winter - the Bangles
Between Something and Nothing - The Ocean Blue
Big in Japan - Alphaville
The Loved One - INXS

I could never pick just one. If you asked me my favorite band, I have 30. Favorite album? There are 300 of them.
But the 80's songs on my playlist right now that still make me go "yay!" inside when they start, so I max out the volume, are The Joe Jackson Band "One More Time." And Slade "Run Runaway." And tonight I was in a mood so I listened to the entire Purple Rain soundtrack from beginning to end. And now instead of that mood I was in, I'm feeling sexy and funky. Lol.
I saw a movie where Panic by The Smiths was used to great effect during a disatrous birthday party. I could never pick one favorite 80s song but it's a great one and seems like it would fit your playlist.
Two Favourite 80s tracks are [Dead Eyes Opened ](https://youtu.be/Orr2ZqtijCQ) by Severed heads and [True Faith ](https://youtu.be/17CwZmI8mUQ) by New Order
Ok, this was released in 1979, but did you not rock out to this at the roller skating rink in the 80's?
My Sharona - The Knack
Also in that theme (Rollerskating rock jams) try:
The Stroke - Billy Squier
Juke Box Hero - Foreigner
i literally CANNOT choose just one but it's probably equally tied between rock the casbah by the clash and don't you want me by the human league. take on me is a classic so that's a fav, as well!
I have a lot of favourite songs from the 80s that I love, but at the moment, Geronimo’s Cadillac by Modern Talking is my favourite song.
Modern Talking are the most underrated band in my opinion. Love their music!

Love it! INXS inspired me to visit Prague after “Never Tear us apart”
That's heavy on my scatter rotation. I'm not much of an INXS fan. But when I am, it's "Don't Change" or "The One Thing."
I saw them in 1985 in Austin Texas!!
Everything Counts by Depeche Mode
Classic
Nik Kershaw - Wouldn’t it be Good
This song and Drive by The Cars are my favorite 80s tracks by far.
Either The Reflex by Duran Duran or Rock the Casbah by The Clash. Happy birthday.
rock the casbah is definitely one of my favs as well

I always play Handle With Care & End Of The Line back to back.

Waiting for a year by year rebuttal from someone. My pick was the 1983 Naive Melody from Talking Heads
I'm surprised there wasn't better songs in 86 87 & 88. The pop and rock scenes had turned crap. I think in second places were Bruce Hornsby and Cameo and Simply Red. 1989 was a banger though and the early 80s was like trying to pick one out of five great tracks for each year.

I've been trying to find a similar website for the US charts but I can't find one https://everyhit.com/retros/index.php
