Saw New Order was mentioned and that was a great jam as was Joy Divisions stuff

 

[PHArchivist]

See - now some of these posted (while great tunes) haven't really danced on the edge of being forgotten. Like the Aha tune, Talking Heads, or the New Order one. At least in my area, they are now seeing daylight on some of the 80's stations.

Again - great songs, and thanks for posting.

But I KNOW there are songs out there that we all (us soft-in-middle-40-year-olds) heard MANY times at parties, girlfriends houses, dances, etcetera, but still eluded our own personal collections, or have otherwise managed to be basically left behind with the rest of the fading memories of the 80's.

Here's a southern rock song that fits that category...

Loved it in the day. Actually had it on vinyal. But when record players went the way of the 8-track, I almost forgot all about it, until I focused and bought it on CD (had to go to Amazon).

Fall Of The Peacemakers

 

[PHArchivist]

Alright, last one. This is a beautiful long 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

Good pull. Peter Cetera helped define the decade. Even the video itself fits the category. I'd totally forgottena bout it, but as soon as I saw it, I remembered it immediately.

 

[Amish Trooper]

I love the 80's but my flavor of music wasn't lets say mainstream. Here are some I guess I haven't heard in years on the radio
Echo and the Bunnymen
YouTube - ‪Echo & The Bunnymen - The Killing Moon [Music Video]‬‏
When in Rome
YouTube - ‪When in Rome - The Promise‬‏

 

[thegreatgalling]

Its so crazy how decades can be defined so distinctly, yet when you're living through them, it's harder to notice. Felt that way throughout the 90s, now looking back the differences seem so clear. Now though, I bet in the next five years I won't be able discern a difference between the preceding decade, but I bet I will another 10 or so years from now.

The genius is I am young no matter how old I get.

SUCK IT, DORKS!

 

[thegreatgalling]

Ha :lol

 

[Larry Young]

See - now some of these posted (while great tunes) haven't really danced on the edge of being forgotten.

I'd love to hear this on the radio now:

YouTube - ‪88 Lines about 44 Women - pictures‬‏

 

[Amish Trooper]

The genius is I am young no matter how old I get.

SUCK IT, DORKS!

Actually I think you mean Push It

YouTube - ‪Salt-N-Pepa - Push It‬‏

 

[ewokus]

I think this one qualifies:

YouTube - ‪SAGA - On The Loose (HQ)‬‏

Saga - "On the Loose"

 

[Larry Young]

Ha :lol

Ooops; as UN Deputy Special Envoy to the Ambassador Plenipotentiary, I apologize for the use of "dorks" as a descriptive as it has harmed tariffs on imported, subsidized opinions held by dooshes and morons as protected by the various bylaws subsumed.

 

[BrotherWilliam]

See - now some of these posted (while great tunes) haven't really danced on the edge of being forgotten. Like the Aha tune, Talking Heads, or the New Order one.

I think Take On Me would have to be one of THE most covered 80s songs of all time.

How about this one for size instead:
Paul McCartney - Coming Up

Or this:

Lindsey Buckingham -Trouble
