Nostalgic 80s songs

[Shaka]

I can't believe I left out my favorite eighties song.

Kyrie - Mr. Mister

The song is one big crescendo and is extremely uplifting. It rules in every way a good song should. I think I need to add it to my jogging queue.

Similarly, I can't believe I omitted "On the Radio" by Donna Summer. Things haven't been the same since she broke up last June.

It has dawned on me that most of you will not be participating in this thread today because you can't use wikipedia.

Is there a wiki page for music I never listened too? If so I would have used it.

Someone said "We Didn't Start the Fire" I'm pretty sure that the 90's.

[Parrot Head]

Kudos for the Skid Row and Def Leppard nods. I'd also throw some classic Bon Jovi in there ("Bad Medicine," "Living on a Prayer.")

To show my range, I'll toss in "Take on Me" and "I Melt with You."

And, yes, I'm not going in Babs' desired thread direction here.

[RC Vikings]

For 80's songs that are nostalgic for me I'm going with "Tainted Love" by Softcell. The first morning I was home from the mission I had my clock radio set to wake me up to music and this was the song playing. I'm not sure why I remember that but I do remember thinking that it was a pretty good song and that I finally was really home.

Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You) - A Flock of Seagulls

Can't mention the 1980s without A Flock of Seagulls. And I continue to like that song. Nostalgia at its best.

[TripletDaddy]

Through the Years - Kenny Rogers. You can hear the pain in his heart (which we would later learn was cholesterol from fatty chicken)

[Viking]

Train in Vain - The Clash (Using the US release date)

Who isn't nostalgic about when their girl/boyfriend was honest/loyal?

That song is far too awesome to be nostalgic.
