[Fitswimmer]

One of my all time fav's.....

"Heat of the Moment" by Asia is playing. I loved all their hits "Only Time Will Tell" "Don't Cry" and "The Smile has left your eyes."

(sigh) I feel so old.

I was a HUGE Police fan in the 80's:

ETA: It's "Every breath you take"

 

[JodyLynC]

Now it's "Would I lie to you?" by the Eurythmics (sp?)

I love Annie Lennox's solo stuff, too. "Why" is so awesome!!

Come on...you can't talk about the 80s and leave out the hairbands!!!

Wake me Up Before you Go! Go!

Der Kommissar

Don't let it End

Can I play with Madness

 

[JodyLynC]

OMG!!! I forgot about this song! Anybody remember "I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watching Me?" I can't remember who sang it and I didn't hear the DJ say it. I think it was a one hit wonder for this guy, but Michael Jackson sang backup.

Here is an incredible version of " Heat of the Moment" done many years later that really strikes home. Hope you enjoy it.

Don't Let it End by Styx. I loved them!!! Who remembers "Fooling Yourself" "Renegade" "Grand Illusion" and of course "Mr. Roboto" - I've got a secret. I've been hiding under my skin.

Speakin of one hit wonders of the 80s

Does anyone remember:

Rocky Burnett's Tired of Toeing the Line

 

[crazyforgoofy]

If someone has posted this little beauty then I apologize but now I'm stuck in the 80s.

How about a little Twisted Sister. We're Not Gonna Take It.

That was Rockwell (a one-hit wonder) with uncredited background vocals by Michael Jackson.

 

[crazyforgoofy]

Or Alison Moyets Invisible


Man, those were they days, weren't they?

 

[robinb]

What about Culture Club and Boy George? He was so flamboyant ... I loved him! My favorites songs were "Karma Chameleon", ""Do You Really Want to Hurt Me", "I'll Tumble 4 Ya" and "Miss me Blind".

Journey- Faithfully

That is one of those swaying cigarette lighter songs! In the 2000's they now use cell phones .

I am loving this thread -- I know almost all of the songs! I am one of Billy Joel's biggest fans.

this is what popped into my head tonight:

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.

Bye, bye, its been a sweet love.
Though this feeling I can't change.
But please don't take it badly,
'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame.
But, if I stayed here with you girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you'll never change.
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.
Lord help me, I can't change.

I saw a video clip -- was it on VH! Behind the Music? Right after the plane crash, the surviving members of the band did a performance, they did an insrrumental version of Free bird, with a spotlight on the part of the stage where Ronnie Van Zant would have been singing. So sad and so powerful a memorial to their friend.

It's just not the same if you don't burn your thumb. Um, not that I ever smoked or anything. Well, not cigarettes anyway.

Kids today. Sheesh.

Can't forget those Beastie Boys' "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party!)"
