What's YOUR favourite song from the 70's/80's?
I'm a HUGE fan of older music but I'm really bad with names of songs/artists.
Add your fave to the list...I'll start off with a few
Mr Big - To Be With You
Bonnie Tyler- Total Eclipse of the heart
Roxette - Listen to your heart

I actually think the music back then is far more superior in comparison to some of the crap nowadays.

Whitesnake, Def leppard, Poison, Mr Big (was on year 10 camp when this song was popular - we used to sit round the campfire singing it!  )
Does anyone remember Warrant - She's my cherry pie...my twin sis and I went and saw them in concert in Sydney when we were 15, thought we were so COOL!!
I was a teenager in the late eighties/early nineties

The Bangles, man I forgot about them...
This thread has brought back some memories....
DH is a red head and we were watching stars in their eyes and he asked who he should be and i said Rick Astley... he wasnt impressed.
Who did sign, sealed, delivered??? Was it Terence Trent Darby....
Fine Young Cannibals - She Drives Me Crazy (this is what DH wanted me to walk down the aisle to )

Surely you were thinking more along the lines of....*ahem*
'We used to walk down by the river
She loved to watch the sun go down
We used to walk down by the river
And dream a way out of this town"
