Maan I could go on...the 80s were the best! Still got my old tapes recorded and rerecorded!!
And the best thing about it isthat I know all the words of most of these songs!
Anyone remember Nothings going to stop us now?
Nadia, Love Story by Andy Williams rocks!! It was one of my all-time favourites, as well. I used to be able to play it on the piano, but I haven't had any practice in a few years. sighs
Same with Unchained Melody. I learned to play all these 80's & 90's songs...but it's a shame I didn't keep up with the practice after high school.
Someone mentioned Heal the World by Michael Jackson. That brings back memories from back when I was in middle school. We had put together a presentation about 'world peace' using that song in the background. Still love the song!!
Right here waiting by Richard Marx, is another one of my all-time favourites. Also, Falling in Love by U2 is amazing. I'm not sure what year that's from, though.

or
teray bina zindagi sey koyee shikah nahee..or ist hat the 70's?

anybody remember one night in bangkok? head murray anyone?? this song has THE most catchiest tune. it gets in your head and stays there for bloody ever !!!
Artist: Head Murray
Song: One Night in Bangkok
THE AMERICAN:
Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
Show with everything but Yul Brynner
Time flies - doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
All change - don't you know that when you
Play at this level there's no ordinary venue
It's Iceland... or the Philippines... or Hastings... or... or this place!
COMPANY:
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky then the god's a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
THE AMERICAN:
One town's very like another
When your head's down over your pieces, brother
COMPANY:
It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
To be looking at the board, not looking at the city
THE AMERICAN:
Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town...
COMPANY:
Tea, girls, warm, sweet, sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite
THE AMERICAN:
Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine
COMPANY:
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me
THE AMERICAN:
Siam's gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha
And thank God I'm only watching the game, controlling it
I don't see you guys rating
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
I'd let you watch, I would invite you
But the queens we use would not excite you
So you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage parlours
COMPANY:
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
A little flesh, a little history
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me
other songs i remember from the back of my head...
"take on me" by Aha, sweeeeeeeet song
"drive" by The Cars.. it went something like whose gonna take you home, tonight... you cant go on, thinking nothings wrong.. sumtin like that

Simple Minds-Don't You forget abt me
another gem from the 80s -
does anybody remember this Sade's song?
He's laughing with another girl
And playing with another heart.
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache.
He's loved in seven languages.
Diamond nights and ruby lights, high in the sky.
Heaven help him, when he falls.
Diamond life, lover boy.
We move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy.
City lights and business nights.
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights.
No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
When sentiment is left to chance.
No place to be ending but somewhere to start.
No need to ask.
He's a smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator.
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male.
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.
Face to face, each classic case.
We shadow box and double cross,
Yet need the chase.
A license to love, insurance to hold.
Melts all your memories and change into gold.
His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold.
No need to ask.
He's a smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator.
Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male.
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.
Smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator...
God......I miss the 80's. I'm familiar with all the pop songs mentioned in this thread, but my favorite 80's songs are from more heavier bands from the metal genre....sigh......those were the days, carefree attitude and loud music!!
