Lionel Richie - Running with the night

Not so obvious choices there gio but quality nevertheless! In fact I miss all but ONJ in my collection, how did I miss them all? Thanx, old sport

I`d like to open this thread with this blast to the past. God I feel like a kid every time I hear this theme.

that's exactly how i feel listening to those 80's songs.. some of them i used to listen to them with my dad in his car /home or on the beach..
I have this downloading frenzy for some of the songs i remember along the way.. here is the latest 4 songs i downloaded..

Abba - the Day before you came
Abba - Eagles (love it ..many memories take me back ) ..
now for the cheesiest song ever Baltimora - Tarzan boy
Madness- it must be love

ONJ is great i loved her voice a lot ..but i can't say i have several songs for her

I love VH1 Classics "alternative hour" or whatever they call it now. Most of my favorite songs are too indie even to find there. Here are some that I like:

Anything off of "Black Celebration" and "Music for the Masses" by Depeche Mode.

"Peekaboo" and "Dazzle" by Siouxsie and the Banshees

"Cocoon" by The Mission UK.

The whole Disintegration album by The Cure (I think it came out in 1990 but is 80s in its composition).

In Spanish, these two albums were instrumental for me: "Signos" by Soda Stereo (came out in 86) and "Matenme Porque Me Muero" by Caifanes (came out in 88, I think).

"now iiii'd do almost anything that you want me too

but i cant go for that no oh..no can do"

I prefer the 70s, but the 80s had some great music.

80's thread would not be complete without mentioning MJ. He was the shizzle back then. Heehe!

Well known, but classics tbh

[messiniesta]

^ Yep, Final Countdown is what comes to mind when you say 80s music.
How about those soundtracks for those awful Rocky sequels (Rocky 3, 4)? Eye of the Tiger, No easy way out, Hearts on fire, Burning heart, Gonna fly now, etc.

[maz]

Chariots of fire...

[Warik]

Always liked that song...

[Beast]

Think we should include the 70's as well due to many Bands/Singers starting in the mid 70's ..
now back to my roots some great Rock tunes from the 80's
The God father of Grunge : Neil Young - Rocking in the free world
Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms
Journy - Separate ways

Art Company - Suzanna probably Belgium artists best efforts
