(1980) Queen - Crazy Little Thing Called Love (AMAZING song)
(1982) Toto - Rosanna (One of my all-time favorites )

Of course, only two/three songs from each decade can't even begin to scratch the surface of the diversity in music of each decade. These are just a few of my favorites from each, but there are TONS of other genres and songs that I absolutely adore. Don't take these songs as summing up each decade, and don't decide you don't like a certain decade of music based off of these.
There are tens of thousands of songs from the 50s-80s, so there's really something for everyone. Though, of course there are the few people who just straight up don't like music this old, which is completely acceptable as everyone has their own taste. Just remember to keep your mind (and ears ) open. Enjoy!
