Comment:

The '80s was pop music's most visual age ever, planting indelible images in our heads — a couple with pompadour and poodle skirt doing a rockabilly bop to the Stray Cats' "Rock This Town," Jennifer Beals sweating up her Flashdance legwarmers to "Maniac," and Bruce Springsteen pulling a giddy young Courtney Cox up on the stage for a little "Dancing In the Dark." With examples like those, how could you not want to jump out on the floor and put your best foot forward when those '80s hits start flowing? From synth-pop to hip-hop, from new-wave kings to disco divas, we've assembled 75 surefire ways for your restless feet to get their '80s on, right here.
