As someone who grew up in the 80's, I get a nice whiff of nostalgia every time I hear a song from my youth. Are there any other fans of 80's music here? Let your voices be heard!

I want to contribute to this thread but like...there's too many songs. Like seriously WAY too many. Gyargh.

Well let's see. I'll start with what comes to me from the top of my head but I'm sure later I'll be like "MAN HOW COULD I FORGET THIS."

Centerfold - J. Geils Band

Don't Stop Believin' - Journey

Smooth Criminal - Michael Jackson

Blargh that's all I can think of for the moment. I know there's more, a lot more I'm forgetting! But this is a good start for my list. XD

The majority of my favorites have already been listed, but here are some more:

You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) --Dead or Alive
I Want a New Drug --Huey Lewis and the News
Power of Love --Early November

And there are many others. I'll be back after I've had time to think (and after a good listen to the local 80's station.)

GUYS...now I feel bad for not having an 80s radio station.

You can listen online. 106.9 The Point is Houston's station and it's a mix of 80's and 90's music. You can also run a general search for 80's online stations and you'll find some great ones.

The Smiths - There is a light that never goes out
Talking heads- Once in a lifetime
