I love just about everything Hall and Oates. Here's John Oates singing lead:

The 80s is my sweet spot because in the early 80s I was a young teen and then mid 80s I was off to college dancing in clubs just as Madonna was taking off and the songs we think typify the 80s were dominating.

This is a song I loved from the very early 80s

Agreed. I love Wham period. After Everything She Wants I'd probably go with Edge of Heaven.

Here's Jack Wagner's best song imo ('wish I could find a better clip). It features Valerie Carter:

My favorite Brenda Russell song is Way Back When but this ranks second. I didn't know Get Here (Oleta Adams' hit) was her song:

This was a big hit in Sweden in 1987:

The very first single from Roxette back in 1986:

Carola Häggkvist was without a doubt the biggest female singer in Sweden during the 80s. She sold albums on a scale only matched by ABBA. In 1986 she was given the opportunity to work with the Gibb brothers (from Bee Gees). This was the lead single from the album:

Wales, thank you for starting this great thread. Even though it is unlikely that I will ever get to the 1980s on my #1 hits thread, I probably won't post personal favorites that reached #1.

The Cars shockingly never had a #1 hit. My two favorite songs of theirs are:

"Shake It Up" (#4, 1982)

"You Might Think" (#7, 1984)

Thank you for sharing. In my delusional mind no one could possibly love music as much as I do....but I know that's far from true.

And I'll do do do do do do do anything for you:

    • The black and white episodes of the show are very special. An atmosphere the color run loses. Dark Shadows was filmed live-on-tape. They could do a retake but it would be very expensive. I think there was a claim that if actors wanted a retake they would curse. There was also a rumor that at one point Joan Bennett accidentally said "Hollywood" instead of "Collinwood" and that necessitated a retake.

    • Loved this IG post from Ambyr about how she and Trisha work together. You can tell these ladies go above and beyond the script, and that they really trust and enjoy working together. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJpJufFPOQ2/?igsh=MXBmcWs0YzIwaXVhNA==

    • It is a shame that more characters didn't go the ATWT-Barbara route and make the ingénue into an antagonist. Sort of like they did with Liza/Hogan/Sunny, less successfully. It is a credit to ATWT's creativity that breathed life in that character for years after she was fighting off bulls in Spain.  But, a character like Liza can only have so many true loves and high jinks on the high seas.  They need another reason to be in the story. Liza's wealth, as well as her acumen to see through fraud, was fertile ground for tons of stories.  But, I feel like the business stories for Liza were always about her being easily overwhelmed, rather than exploring things like her leadership and managerial skills.
    • STFU!! Dante!!! This nonsense of blaming Gio is just ridiculous! Alexis and Lucky are becoming so unlikable. Why are the writers writing these characters so poorly?
    • Keith still comes off younger to me. I thought he wasn't that bad for his first day.
    • To be fair, they were only recently step-siblings.  Their parents married within the past few years.  And, Draper's father Ansel was not coy about the fact that he married Raven's mother, Nadine, for the money. And, Raven's sort of sticking it to April that not only can she have a baby (April has a heart condition that makes it difficult for her to carry a child to term), she could also have April's man, if she wanted him.
    • Keith D Robinson is 49. Maurice Johnson is 46.
    • I hope they give him more to do than just be a prick as you say. I can see how viewers would like him because the actor is so charming despite the character being such an absolute pain.    I would agree. And there was also the undercurrent of Raven and Draper sort of flirting with each other. The actors play that attraction and it worked so well in that scene. 
    • Daniel Cosgrove is PERFECT as the sleezy politician. This might be my favorite role of his. All of these people keeping Kristina’s secret is so annoying. I really want her to pay.
