Favorite Songs from the 80's

While browsing through some old tapes & CDs, I realized how I missed the wonderful music of the good ol' 80's: Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, Lionel Richie, Prince, Elton John, Wham, Debbie Gibson, Tiffany, Peter Cetera, Phil Collins, The Bangles, uhmmm... Air Supply?

This is the kind of music we, kids of the 80’s grew up listening to (aside from the 60’s & 70’s music– influence from our folks).

And of course, you're not a child of the 80's if you haven't been a huge fan of no less than the King of Pop, Michael Jackson (Billie Jean, Heal the World, Dangerous, Man In The Mirror, Smooth Criminal).

Anyways, those of you who know of MJ's "Dirty Diana" & find it a very cool song, then you just have to see this one!

Whether you’re a fan or not, you have to admit, this video is damn HOT!!!

When I first saw this video, 15 years ago (from MJ interview with Oprah), I begged my Mom to buy a tape of MJ’s Dangerous album; the song is soooo good! And don't you just love Slash? I sometimes wonder what lives in that huge hair of his, haha! (Who loves Gun’s n Roses ‘November Rain’?)

Don't you just love the 80's ballads?

I was part of the Pepsi generation, but I admit this CocaCola ad is so cute!

I miss 80's music too. They just don't make music like that anymore. Forever Young by Alphaville has to be one of the best songs ever.

80s pop music was great! Alt-rock too - Depeche Mode, New Order, Simple Minds, The Fixx, Pet shop Boys, um, lots more that escape me.

Misread it, scared myself for a second!

I was in grade school back then aswell, good times, good music! They don't make music like that anymore! (Dirty Diana just started playing on my playlist actually, weird coincidence)
