    Love it! If you're a gamer there is a old Xbox 360 title called "Brutal Legend" voiced by Jack Black that is a love letter to the Rock and Metal music of the era.

    I love 80s music!! My favourite song is ' If You Want My Love' from Cheap Trick. Some of my other favourite songs include 'Moonlight Shadow' Mike Oldfield, 'Reflex' and 'Hungry Like the Wolf' Duran Duran. 'In a Big Country' from Big Country'. 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' Bonnie Tyler. I'm going to an 80s concert soon with performers like Berlin, Paul Lakakis, Lamal, Martika, Suzie Q and others. I saw Pat Benetar and The Bangles a few years ago and Bryan Adams recently. I love all kinds of 80s music.

    I'd say Air Supply, since their the only artists that don't have a song; that I dislike. Toto's Africa, is always playing; at my grocery store. As mentioned in the 1st reply: REO Speedwagon's Can't Fight This Feeling. Starship's Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now, Atlantic Starr's Masterpiece, Bob Rivers' 12 Pains Of Christmas, Huey Lewis And The News, Genesis/Phil Collins, Billy Joel, Culture Club, etc.

    If I am on a long run and have nothing left in the tank, Seperate Ways by Journey will come on and that will add just about 5 more miles onto my motivation level.

    Had to Google Shakin' Stevens, though...

    I threw that in as an in joke for UK/Ireland types of a certain age.
    He was REALLY popular for a few years.

    @ejinvt let's have your opinuion as a DJ?
    Billie Jean - over rated or underrated?
    I know people who say it's over rated, populist and too commercial to be a great song, but I say it's a victim of it's own greatness. An absolutely iconic tune which has suffered from over familiarity.
