Great choices isis. I love everyone of those picks especially Foreigner and .38 Special. I miss rock music being in the mainstream. I never could get into rap.
Some of my favs go to Van Halen, Aerosmith, Bad Company, Motley Crue, Boston, Matchbox 20, Al Green, and Led Zeppelin.

Ok, we know that I am nuts, but if you didn't think that I spent the better part of my late teens and twenties collecting every 80's song that I could find on CD, then you don't know DEVO.
Better Albums that I like ABC - The Lexicon of love DEVO - Freedom of Choice Police - Syncronicity Def Leppard - Hysteria B-52's - Cosmic Thing Yaz - Upstairs at Eric's Duran Duran - Seven and the Ragged Tiger Everything by Weird Al 80's wise at least REO Speedwagon - high infedelity Oingo Boingo - nothing to fear The Specials first album Huey Lewis and the News - sports
those are some off hand,
I specialize in one hit wonders - not necessarily from soundtracks, but just really good songs, I was sort of an important person before Kazaa came around, but now that everyone is getting sued, it's ok I could become important again.
Name the song, If I don't have it I will not lie, but if I do I won't either.

And too many one hit wonders…

Ronnie, I love Toto too, I can't believe I didn't put them down, I like: I won't hold you back now, I also liked Expose, Howard Jones, Genesis-Follow Me-is my favorite-but I love everything they do.
Def Leppard was just here in concert, and I almost went, I love the whole Pyromania album,
Does anyone else remember Aldo Nova- they are like my all time favorite band-I can't believe I haven't mentioned them yet- Ball and Chain, Fantasy, It's Too Late, They are great!
I like One Hit Wonder too, Devo!
Heart and The Thompson Twins, and Culture Club are some more I just thought up.

I remember my brother loved the song: Love is Like Oxygen -I think it's by Sweet, I think Sugar Ray took the music to it and remade it in to another song. He also always liked :The Breakup Song- which might have been a one hit wonder.
I liked Donnie Iris's : Love is Like a Rock
I like alot of 70's music too- Bread, The Bee Gees, Jim Croce, Kansas, Linda Ronstant, The Eagles
I love the song: In to the night by Benny Mardones, and Hot Child in the City, and Foxy on the Run.
I just saw a new CD, being advertised, that had a bunch of songs on it from the 70's and 80's, I have to get it.

Has anyone else ever sang the X-rated version of Billy Idol's Mony Mony? They played it at my wedding, and everyone was singing a "new" version of it, I wondered if anyone else had ever heard that version too?

i like "the breakup song" by the greg kihn band, who also sang, "jeapordy"..another good one.
wow isis, you are on a roll hehe. "into the night", by benny mardones is a damn good song as well. (one hit wonder yes?)
i had forgot to mention billy idol. i have his greatest hits, but it is still sealed. i never knew about an x-rated "mony mony." that is news to me.

The X-rated version of Mony Mony, started in NYC back when the song first came out by him. We all sang the words. I don't know if the words came from us, or if it was a real song. No one was singing a "new version" Everyone I knew always sang it one way. I can't write the words to the song on here.
Anyway, Greg Kihn rules, his album , Kihnspiracy, hahaha, Fox on the Run was by Sweet.
Love is the Drug is another good one, but there is one song that I don't own, Tarzan Boy by Baltimora, (yeah I know that he died), the only place before Kazaa was on The teenage mutant ninja turtles soundtrack, no thank you.

Did you know that Nancy Wilson from Heart is married with Cameron Crowe ( Fast Times, Say Anything,…)? She also had a small appearance in the excellent movie ‘The Wild Life’ as David’s ( the cop ) wife.

I'm into the more obscure 80's stuff like Strawberry Switchblade, the Bongos, Landscape and the Comsat Angels. I think it was those great Rhino New Wave Hits of the 80's comps. I just wish they made more than 15 volumes, there still are a lot of hard to find gems that they could put on them.

Riptide, you will never guess what loser has just about all of those Rhino New Wave Hit's of the 80's albums. His name starts with D and rhymes with Evolution. Yeah I collected everything I could find.
Isis, Loverboy???, I am sorry I have to admit, I have the Get Lucky album, with Red Leather pants and the crossed fingers, oh how tacky.

The only thing i don't have in that New Wave Rhino comp. is the Christmas volume, I had a chance a while ago but passed. I also have Volume 1and 2 of the video compilations, but they should have made more. Also want to find the More music from Valley girl CD, ebay's a bit scary for that one right now. As for Loverboy, they are a real guilty pleasure, just about every Friday in Canada, some DJ is playing Working for the weekend. Makes you want to start wearing headbands again right?

I remember in the late 80's, when I had my first apartment, me and my roommates would stay up either watching mtv or listening to music constantly, that's when mtv played videos. I remember the song Heart and Soul by T-Pau played all the time, and Cowboy-by Bon Jovi- who also was great in the 80s.
Does anyone else remember Friday Night Videos? I loved them, and back then is when Solid Gold played all the top 40 songs, every song was a good one. I can't stand the music now, because every song has a swear word in it.

Is More music from valley girl still in print? I have the first one but not that one. Are the liner notes just as good as the first one? I loved all hit videos on Friday night, unfortunately I was most intensly into music when the 80's were dying. Still love that T'Pau song, what's their other material like?

Isis, you mentioned "Cowboy" by Bon Jovi are you talking about "Wanted Dead or Alive"?
Yeah, but again "I live in the city" (another good song)I only bought the album at BEST BUY a couple of months ago. The liner notes are really good. Ahhh.... liner notes on a compilation album, brings a smile to the face.
