What are the best songs of this kind of music especially in the 80s, I want some good titles please!!


Thanks! :)

Do you mean just basically romantic songs of the 80's or New Wave? If it's romantic songs of any type, I can only think of a few hundred off the top of my head :)

I like slow or songs like Sting - Shape of my heart, Roxette - Listen to your heart... you know the style! :p

Ok..if it's basically slow songs of the 80's..you know, the kind you can slow dance to...here's some for you. :)

OH NO..(COMMODORES)
THREE TIMES A LADY (COMMORDORES)
ALWAYS (ATLANTIC STARR)
HEAVEN (BRYAN ADAMS)
AMANDA (BOSTON)
ANGEL (AEROSMITH)
WONDERFUL TONIGHT (ERIC CLAPTON)
YOU'RE THE INSPIRATION (CHICAGO)
LADY IN RED (CHRIS DEBURGH)
ETERNAL FLAME (BANGLES)
CRAZY FOR YOU ( MADONNA)
FOREVER (KENNY LOGGINS)
KEEP ON LOVIN YOU (REO SPEEDWAGON)
CAN'T FIGHT THIS FEELING (REO SPEEDWAGON)


Hope this helps you out some.

I don't know why but someone closed my topic and also erase it for no reasons so I restart this!

Ok for the topic, I like songs like Roxette - It must have been love, Whitesnake - Is this love, Journey - Can't fight this feeling... you see the style!! :D I want to find other great titles!


Thanks!

I'd say this would be better under top 40/pop as that is the style you like :) New Wave and New Romantic is something totally different, I'm moving this topic.

The other one wasn't closed, it was moved (as daffy just moved this one again). I merged this one with the previous one. Roxette and Sting aren't New Wave to any extent :lol:

Lol I never found the topic in all of this great forum hehehe!!

You are right! Why do I ALWAYS think of that song being from the late 80's?? What year did it come out? I could have sworn I was listening to that album in 1989?!?


Edited to add: I just answered my own question, that song came out in 1990. ;)
