    I agree about it being one of the best music videos!

    I just recently got a 80's compilation album, and it got me hooked to this great song;
    Waiting for a star to fall by Boy Meets Girl

    Here's another great one I found the other day. I had already heard their song "Send Me an Angel" but this song is really good too. The music video is really cool. This song is called "Catch Me I''m Falling" by Real Life.

    I can't help but sing my lungs when I hear "Your Love" by The Outfield, for some reason, I love it! There's something about secret infidelity in this song that I just love...it's kinda sexy if either gender sung it, as long as the pronouns DON'T change
    "This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin, tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in..."

    You do realize that the songs that are the greatest couldn't be the greatest if it wasn't for the opinions of the fans.

    Attention Retro Junkers,


    Set your volume controls to Maximum.


    You do not want to miss a single note of this hit song by Til Tuesday.


    A little number called "Voices Carry" - 1985:


    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5XJMoVzPD4

    The Eldorado is dead. Long live the Eldorado.

    Here's one of my favorite vocal artist, lauded around the world, yet he never seemed to get the kind of respect he so obviously deserved here in the States.

    But I bet a lot of you have heard the following song, only to think it was another artist working this tune.

    See if you remember,


    Gino Vanelli - "It Hurts To Be in Love" - 1985:

    The Eldorado is dead. Long live the Eldorado.

    I'd like to add a song by a band that you cannot possibly think 80's and not think of them- A Flock of Seagulls, of course most of us know of their song "I ran" but I find they have written better songs than that one, so I'll show my favourite song by them; The More You Live The More You Love.
