I could keep going…
There’s a few on that list I need to add to my collection.
That’s exactly what I was going to say!
My daughter was born in the early 80s, so the closest I got to listening to music was watching MTV in the middle of the night while rocking her. And, growing up with 60s music, 80s music to me was mostly just noise.
Edgar Winter Group - Free Ride
Kyrie - Mr. Mister
Holding Back The Years - Simply Red
Hey Nineteen - Steely Dan
More Than A Feeling - Boston
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
True (already mentioned) - Spandau Ballet
I’m Not In Love - 10cc
(Pride) In the Name of Love - U2 - in fact, any of early-ish U2. Still gives me goosebumps and chills.
Shadows of the Night . . . Pat Benatar
Back Where You Belong . . . .38 Special
Cat’s in the Cradle . . . Harry Chapin
Wildest Dreams . . . Asia
Operator . . . Jim Croce
After the Fire . . . Roger Daltrey
Desert Moon . . . Dennis de Young
Drift Away . . . Dobie Gray
Ha ha! That’s funny, 'cuz I always thought music from the 60s sounded like the incoherent, self-indulgent ramblings of a bunch of drugged out narcissists.
Also pretty much all of the Rumors album by Fleetwood Mac, and a lot of Heart’s stuff. Oh, and Hall & Oates better efforts such as Sara Smile and Method of Modern Love.
70s: “Fool’s Gold” from Graham Parker’s Heat Treatment.
80s: “Little Mascara” from the Replacement’s Tim.
Ask me tomorrow and they will be different.
John Stewart “Gold”

Shona Laing “Soviet Snow”
Ultravox “Reap the Wild Wind”
Peter Gabriel “Games Without Frontiers”
Plus:
Grace Jones “My Jamaican Guy” album
Sonic Youth “Daydream Nation” album
New Order
Joy Division
Prince
Dylan
Sugarcubes first album and Bjork’s stuff (how much was 80’s?)
