A lot of great and terrible songs put forth but I can’t believe no one has mentioned ‘I Want to Know What Love is’ by Foreigner!
The girl I was sharing a house with bought the cassette or 45 when this showed up on MTV. Neither of us was doing well in the ‘love’ department’. Her having an affair with a married man and me liking the guy I was in a relationship with but not in love. (A pattern I would follow till I met my now husband.)
We put that song on the stereo and postioned the speakers just so and we sat on the floor where the sounds crossed and sang our hearts (and lungs) out playing that song over and over.
Second 'Total Eclipse of the Hear’t and add ‘Holding out for a Hero’.
‘Take a Look at Me Now’ by Phil Collins.
‘At This Moment’ by Billy Vera and the Beaters.
‘Hello’ by Lionel Ritchie.
(Have I shown my age yet?)
Any of George Jones heartbreak songs but those are good songs not terrible.
It’s not actually a bad song, but it’s what I’ve got. And I figure enough people automatically dislike anything he did that it’s not too far off target.
Just reading this thread recalls that first heartache, the ending of my first love. It was 33 years ago and my chest still feels a twinge of that heartache.
