I am not seeing "You've got the touch" in this list

If you are a moran learn to HUSH.

Damn you to the Nine Hells of Baator.

/Now I've got that damned song stuck in my head.
//Hopefully I can drown it out with Dare to be Stupid.
///Mashed potatoes can be your friend.

Aww is it porridge day at the old folk's home today?

I nominate Bone Symphony's One Foot in Front of the Other.

Silly question but how many of the songs in Blues Brothers were written in the 80s?

Together in Electric Dreams? Never even frakkin heard of it and I'm a poster child for 80's pop culture references.

/agree about Blues Brothers, Shake Your Tailfeather is a great song.

OlafTheBent: Wot... no Psychedelic Furs?

54

rikkards: Silly question but how many of the songs in Blues Brothers were written in the 80s?

Well, if the movie came out in '80, you figure that filming would have been finished in '79. So, none. Still, Popcorn is better than Highway to the Danger Zone.

Lunatic Fringe should be rated higher

OlafTheBent: Wot... no Psychedelic Furs?

I'm pretty sure they were in there. I'm not going back to look.

I also think I saw Kenny Loggins name like six or seven times. I didn't realize he was such a prolific movie soundtrack artist.

oldebayer: There were not 80 good songs of any kind written in the 80's.

Blasphemy!

ChubbyTiger: Popcorn is better than Highway to the Danger Zone.

Is Popcorn the electro-instrumental number you might find on a Pure Moods cd? Or is that something else?

oldebayer: There were not 80 good songs of any kind written in the 80's.

I'm sorry, and your preferred musical decade is...?

/The 80's was made of Awesome and WIN
//and hairspray

Finally a list that gives Kenny Loggins some recognition.

I came here to post this. You got the POWAAAAAH

waiting4godot: Finally a list that gives Kenny Loggins some recognition.

Well then I'm alright, don't nobody worry about me...

No Blues brothers, def. fail,

Also,

Doesn't "Living in America" qualify? Am I the only person that likes that song?

jtfx: Doesn't "Living in America" qualify? Am I the only person that likes that song?

That song killed Apollo Creed, therefore it sucked.

jtfx: Doesn't "Living in America" qualify? Am I the only person that likes that song?

Apollo Creed's entrance theme in Rocky IV?

Approves!

/He's a great big star.

I can't find the link to it, but someone did a FotR trailer merged with the original Transformers trailer. It was simply badass (Optimus as Gandalf FTW)

I completely agree with #1. That song is quintessential '80s pop.

My favorite song from a movie was problably "Touched by the Hand of God" by New Order.

Where's Somewhere Out There?

Hey hey hey hey!

/oooOOOOOoooOOOOOooooWooooo

alaric3: If you are a moran learn to HUSH.

...voices carry?

Did I miss Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me with Science" From Weird Science?

Also missing:

"Howard the Duck"
Written by Thomas Dolby, Ailee Wills and George Clinton
Performed by Lea Thompson, Holly Robinson Peete (as Holly Robinson), Dominique Davalos,
Liz Sagal, Thomas Dolby and George Clinton
Produced by Thomas Dolby
(1986)

mdbuff12: Together in Electric Dreams? Never even frakkin heard of it and I'm a poster child for 80's pop culture references.

You'd have to be a Lenny von Dohlen or Virginia Madsen or ELO fan to get that one.

this list is a fraud, a miscarriage of justice, and a complete sham, sans that shiatty song from "Real Genius".

also the gay volleyball song from top gun.


and the karate kid "you're the best" song.

For some reason 'Oh Yeah' by Yello from 'Farris Bueller's Day Off' always reminds me of the 80's (and Duff Beer).

oldebayer: There were not 80 good songs of any kind written in the 80's.

Get the hell off my lawn, punk.

Know what that list made me realize? Kenny Loggins is laughing his way to the bank.

Ghostbusters!

/Not really good, I just want it planted in your head.

Someone forgot Oingo Boingo, "Dead Man's Party" (Back to School)? Umm... FAIL.

OOoooooooh Yeaah!

/chick-a-chick-aaa

I was always kind of partial to I Can't Breakaway from Bill & Ted.

No
"I go crazy" from Some Kind of Wonderful?
"Weird Science" from movie of the same name?
"Holiday Road" from the first Vacation movie?

Isn't the singer from The Human League?

Courtney Cox-Zucker: Someone forgot Oingo Boingo, "Dead Man's Party" (Back to School)? Umm... FAIL.

They are afraid of what they cannot see.

Also missing is "Moving in Stereo" (Fast Times at Ridgemont High), "Tequila" (Pee Wee's Big Adventure).

Number of Blues Brothers songs on the list: 0

Those were %100 covers of songs which were done infinitely better the first time around, even considering they hired many of the original musicians. Also, the 80s didn't start numerically until 1981.

chouchou: "Weird Science" from movie of the same name?

Yep; that's a major fail.

No Fight the Power? High holy living fark.

And then there was one of the biggest songs of the 80's used prominently in the movie Body Double (new window).
