Forgotten 80's tunes...

[PHArchivist]

Post one up that has been all but forgotten...

Not one of the classic one-hit wonders, not one that's been revived by Jack FM or some other 80's revivalist airwaves, not some obscure bull**** that never MADE air time in the 80's...

Just a good, solid tune that is almost lost...

YouTube - ‪The Smithereens-A Girl Like You‬‏

One of my all time favs. I would bet most of my generation couldnt ID it if they heard it:

YouTube - ‪The Authority Song - John Mellencamp‬‏

 

[Nwerke]

My fallback tune for these moments:

YouTube - ‪Blue Rondo a La Turk - Klacto Vee Sedstein‬‏

 

[thegreatgalling]

Sorry, one more:

YouTube - ‪Starship - Nothing´s Gonna Stop Us Now - The Mannequin Movie Soundtrack (Figurína) 1987‬‏

 

[EvilRocketeer]

Haircut 100 - boy meets girl
YouTube - ‪Haircut 100 - Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)‬‏

Wow, the fact that 1990 was now OVER two decades ago makes me want to cry.

Imagine how micdavis must feel. 1890 was over a century AND two decades ago...

All good pulls...

These boys put out a few that made the air waves sizzle a bit. But never hgeld a spot like VH or any of the other big boys...

YouTube - ‪Honeymoon Suite Bad Adttitude‬‏

You're too young to play! You need to be at least as old as Brad, or Matt!

 

[Nwerke]

Heh. Oh - Lloyd Cole!! Fits the criteria:

YouTube - ‪Lloyd Cole 'Brand New Friend' 1985‬‏

Haven't heard any of his stuff played in forever, it's a crying shame, he was GOLDEN.

 

[thegreatgalling]

Uh oh. I am 27, how old are you ER?

 

[Frank]

Take on Me A-Ha

[thegreatgalling]

Not as catchy:

YouTube - ‪Teen wolf soundtrack | win in the end‬‏

 

[thegreatgalling]

And its related to this funny number:

YouTube - ‪Teen Wolf Soundtrack - Way To Go (Mark Vieha)‬‏

 

[SmilingOtter]

Olivia Newton John - Living in Desperate Times

New Order - True Faith

Pet Shop Boys - It's a Sin

 

[Funky]

Ah, a thread I can relate to! (because there are so few! :lol)

What happened to Pseudo Echo? I swore back in the day that they were going to rule the pop world. Living in a Dream? Their rendition of Funky Town? Gold, man! GOLD!!!

 

[thegreatgalling]

Alright, last one. This is a beautiful song about a love affair between an older Japanese man and a young boy (or at least that's what it looks like in the video).

YouTube - ‪Peter Cetera ~ The Glory OF LOVE‬‏

 

[Larry Young]

Leave the eighties to us:

YouTube - ‪Trio - Da, Da, Da‬‏

 

[thegreatgalling]
