**Firehouse** Love of a Lifetime Released in 1990, so technically it is an 80s song, if’n you subscribe to the whole notion that a decade ends in a year ending in zero. 🙂 stv ---

Ah, the 80s! **Tesla** - Love Song and What You Give are 2 of my favorites of all time. **Warrant** - Blind Faith (not sure if it’s legitimately 80s or early 90s) **George Michael** - Father Figure (personal memories cause this one to make it to my list. Thank heavens I don’t have to fit my butt in the back seat of a car anymore. 😉 ) **Def Leppard** - Hysteria **Heart** - Alone I could list many many more…but I’ll leave it at that for now. ---
