80s' movie soundtracks make up more than half of the only music I listen to..I'd say that in no particular order:
1-Where's the Fire-Tim Feehan (The Wraith) 2-Hold On Blue Eyes-LaMarca (The Wraith) 3-Stir It Up-Patti LaBelle (Beverly Hills Cop) 4-Win In the End-Mark Safan (Teen Wolf) 5-Lookin' Up-Michael Sembello (Campus Man)
are 5 of my most favorite original songs from 80s' movies. I'd love to give 10 but I don't wanna break the rules.

Kenny Loggins, The 80's Soundtrack King.
