Post your favorite 80's soft-rock songs
I've always been a big 90's guy, but I think the 80's has it beat. A lot of the music is timeless and sounds as great as it did then as it does today. You can't say the same for a genre like Grunge. This is just a perfect song. We were talking about pop-rock gold the other day, well this song just hits the spot. It just feels good to listen to. Awesome production and melody. Great songwriting |

You Belong to the City would be soft rock? It just sounds like new wave / synth pop to me. It's not too far from Duran Duran or Tears for Fears or Depeche Mode. When I think of 80s soft rock I think Christopher Cross, Michael Mcdonald, Eddie Money or Rod Stewart. Or other stuff by Glenn Frey but certainly not that song.

It's funny how Genesis were such a horrible awful band but Peter Gabriel wound up having an amazing respectable solo career while Chicago were a great band but they spawned shitty horrible solo careers like Peter Cetera.

there's only one way to do 80s pop-rock and that's by going full retard, which can only happen with Billy Ocean

This thread is like Acid in that I can feel brain cells frying from the thought of these songs, let alone actually listening to them.
o.k. IndyGirl saves the thread with the Henley one. I think the trip has leveled off a bit now, I'm feeling better. It was pretty bad for a moment there though...the sap was too much to bear, it was tripping me out. |
