UB40’s “Food for Thought” hits hard with its raw critique of inequality, pairing melancholy A minor chords with reggae rhythms, while Queen's "I Want to Break Free" shines as a defiant anthem fueled by bold theatrics and signature synths. INXS’s “Original Sin” blends provocative themes with Nile Rodgers’ polished production, and Irene Cara’s “Flashdance… What a Feeling” pulses with empowerment under Giorgio Moroder’s synth mastery. Def Leppard’s “Photograph” defines ‘80s rock ambition with its soaring riffs and polished harmonies, while Sade’s “Is It a Crime?” layers vocal grace over slow-burning brass. Rounded out by Whitesnake’s “Love Ain’t No Stranger,” full of glam excess and gripping emotion, these tracks spotlight the era’s diverse sounds and styles.
