Released in 1985, “Take on Me” was a huge hit for A-ha, although the band failed to create future songs with similar popularity. Even though the band was only relevant for a short period of time, their song is generally considered to be one of the biggest hits of the 1980s.

6. Fight Song: Take Me To Church- Hozier I chose this song because in my point of view this is a fight song. Take me to church is a song about the perception of the church, or any powerful institution such as government, about intimacy and sexuality, whatever the orientation.
