Timelords - Doctorin' The Tardis
Subdivisions by Rush (seriously, am I the only one who likes this one? I mean, "Tom Sawyer" keeps being played on the radio, but not this one)
The Outfield - I Don't Wanna Lose Your Love Tonight
Chilliwack - Whatcha Gonna Do (When I'm Gone)
Mike & The Mechanics - Silent Running
The Cure - Lullaby
Glass Tiger - Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)
Billy Idol - Flesh For Fantasy
Self Control by Laura Branigan
Quarterflash - Harden My Heart
Bananarama - Cruel Summer
"Lovergirl" by Teena Marie
Sheila E - A Love Bizarre
Rockwell - Somebody's Watching Me
Will Smith & DJ Jazzy Jeff - Nightmare On My Street
The Prime Movers - Strong As I Am
Bangles - Hazy Shade of Winter (yes, I know, it's a cover of an 1960 song, but I like the 80s version than the original)
SMUGGLER'S BLUES by GLENN FREY (only because most of the recent generations know of the Miami Vice movie, but not the show)
Don Henley - The Boys Of Summer (though many recent generations remember the cover by The Ataris)
John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band - "On the Dark Side" (though I prefer Tender Years from the soundtrack myself)
Streets of Fire - Nowhere Fast (though I also like Tonight is What It Means to Be Young, and people most likely would remember I Can Dream About You from the same film)
Bruce Springsteen - I'm On Fire (seriously, I had included this song in a short story I written. I had done a last minute group critique with three other people. Two of them who Bruce Springsteen was but didn't know of this song, and the third didn't know Bruce Springsteen and assumed the song was a fastpaced one because of the title)
Pat Benatar - Invincible
Queen - 'Who Wants To Live Forever (obviously, people would remember this one from Highlander)
Little Lies by Fleetwood Mac
There's some others... But I can't think of them off the top of my head... :/

Most of the songs that epitomized that decade are well covered here already but this one also perfectly encapsulates everything about the genre.

Great tune - Jack FM still dusts this one off on occasion. And his second hit Jeopardy (My love's in...).
Totally. And one of my all-time favorites. I hear it sometimes on the radio, but RARELY. Had it on a complilation CD I made, but somehow lost the CD...
