Top 10 Decade Defining Hard Rock and Heavy Metal Songs: 1980s

Script written by Alex Crilly-Mckean. Let's step it up a decade and move onto the '80s, when the heavier genres began to conquer the music world! For our series on the Top 10 Decade Defining Hard Rock and Heavy Metal Songs Per Decade, we've based our choices on a mix of a track's success, popularity and their ability to represent the decade in question. We're limiting it to one song per artist per decade, but you still might see some overlapping of artists over the decades. This is part of a series of videos spanning hard rock and heavy metal music from the 1970s to the 2000s. Join WatchMojo.com as we count down our picks for the top ten hard rock and heavy metal songs of the 1980s.
