Members Wales2004 Posted September 23, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 23, 2012 I need to add this one last song today--I especially love the part beginning at 3:44 where he concludes "My God....I don't even think that I love you." <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Yf_Lwe6p-Cg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted September 24, 2012 Members Share Posted September 24, 2012 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 <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fH850qp85Zk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> and I remember this being all over the radio as the 80s were starting <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ppYgrdJ0pWk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 24, 2012 Members Share Posted September 24, 2012 I love The Tide is High, although it always makes me think of Longtime Companion. Everything She Wants is the best song Wham did. Pop brilliance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wales2004 Posted September 24, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 24, 2012 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: <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vhlgKPnZNeI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> 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: <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/H7u5GtSIC5k" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Tears For Fears w/Oleta Adams <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/QzkK3ZtI9SU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members I Am A Swede Posted September 24, 2012 Members Share Posted September 24, 2012 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 24, 2012 Members Share Posted September 24, 2012 Um...on that last song, did someone rip off that beat and some of the video (the chair part) for Paula Abdul's Cold-Hearted Slave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted September 24, 2012 Members Share Posted September 24, 2012 Let's have some non-English speaking artists now..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APTtkotTYXQ I think everyone remembers this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8mz9uOvFQA&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgldGHu0WXA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted September 24, 2012 Members Share Posted September 24, 2012 One non-english song towered over all others in the 80s and most of the english songs too <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/9whehyybLqU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wales2004 Posted September 24, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 24, 2012 Really? "Cause if you asked me what might have towered over the non-English ones I'd say it was this : <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_w4Xulsjo5I" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Max Posted September 24, 2012 Members Share Posted September 24, 2012 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) <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nrfdqHiFJ6w" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> "You Might Think" (#7, 1984) <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/O1V2m7jVyS8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 25, 2012 Members Share Posted September 25, 2012 My favorite of their hits. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFZmRVjUJnY And who could forget the Talking Heads, and their offshoot, which is simply one of the best things ever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8D4AsLzlM0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9d9FA3fCf4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wales2004 Posted September 25, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 25, 2012 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. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/HfIUiIYpDhU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> And I'll do do do do do do do anything for you: <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xVTEEeOEfKw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
