Is that "Don't you Want me?" by the Human League?

Seeing as how I was born in the early 80's and I have a memory span of about 12 seconds... I don't really know the names of songs or bands, but I do like the music!!

I graduated in '89, and I love all different kinds of music, so I really love these songs. I admit that the 80s were a horrible time for fashion, but those years were great for pop music.

There is so much music to pick from, but when I think of the 80's, for better or worse, the song that jumps to my mind immediately is:

Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler

Love it or hate it, but if you were old enough in the 80's to sing along to the radio, you sang along to this one I'll bet!

I also cannot resist singing along to Stray Cat Strut.


Thank God for Jack FM!

And following close behind that song would be lots of other ballads from the 80s.

Nothing quite like a good old 80's power ballad!
