Lots of good memories in this thread. Remember _99 Luftballons_ by Nena? Or how about The Call’s _And The Walls Came Down_ Lots of Talking Heads…_Once in a Lifetime_ if I had to choose just one. ---

> [@Nobody](#): > > Bruce Springsteen - “Tunnel of love” Wow, that was 1987. I think of the 80s as all about Hungry Heart, Nebraska, Dancing in the Dark, Glory Days, Born in the USA. I forget the Tunnel of Love album was in that decade! ---

> [@gigi](#): > > Wow, that was 1987. I think of the 80s as all about Hungry Heart, Nebraska, Dancing in the Dark, Glory Days, Born in the USA. I forget the Tunnel of Love album was in that decade! 🙂 Yup, his last album of the 80’s. Or at least, his last studio album. ---

gigi I was being nice in how I described it. I hate that song. The ones I wanted to put as an example were all 70’s songs. That’s what I get for substituting what I was going to put there. This is more to my taste Dark Lady by Cher. ---
