    2. Edge Of Seventeen - Stevie Nicks
    3. For Whom The Bell Tolls - Metallica
    4. Peace Sells - Megadeth

    I dont think I could pick my best 5 songs of the 80 's but I see a couple of mentions for twisted sister's "We're not gonna take it"
    You may be aware of the anti X factor song at christmas last year - killing in the name of... When this happened I thought that this twisted sister song would be a perfect candidate for the 2010 anti X-factor song. Spread the Word.
