Any 80's music thread needs to have Rick Springfield mentioned in it , but if it's for your boyfriend he might not agree LOL.

I Can't Fight This Feeling, or other REO Speedwagon?

kinda hard to reccommend eighties music, because in the eighties music was so segmented,,, where to day you listen to several genres and a good mix, in the eighties if you liked guns and roses, def leopard, whitesnake, motley crue or poison you didnt listen to tony basil or jaNET JACKSON,, you didnt listen to prince,,and if you were listening to too short, ice t or tone loc,, odds were the others arent you cup of tea, and god forbid you listened to anything country and then switched to rock

 

[coliebird]

Bon Jovi - Livin on a Prayer, You Give Love a Bad Name
Poison - Talk Dirty to Me
Guns n Roses - Paradise City, Sweet Child of Mine, Welcome to the Jungle
Motley Crue - Home Sweet Home

Any other hairband - Warrent, Winger, Whitesnake, Slaughter, etc.
