Great idea for contest! This is a tough one, so much choices, here are three of those (by order of years they came out):

#1. New Order - Blue Monday (1983)

#2. Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer (1986)

#3. Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (1987)
This one is maybe a little weird entry, this song became much more popular lately by "rickrolling" someone, but in that time Rick gained great success, and also it's a little funny entry

One more funny thing, ill actually resteem something before my first intro post :) .
