ha! I thought you'd told me of a Smiths song I didn't know called "Anything at all" !

Hey sg, how ya doing babes? You well?

I couldn't possibly say my top 3, as I adore almost anything to do with the 80's including its music, and there's too many tochoose from. I did however find this list with some damn good classics on it for you.
