Domo Arigato Mr Roboto.

This is the best song from the 80's imo. Was it a hit in australia?

you dont think much of the 80's then do ya

If you don't know the song, or just how awesome the band is, you don't really know 80's music.

For those of us with dial up what 80's song are we talking about.

Eric Carmen - All By Myself
(there is no way this kind of soppy number would be a hit today)

B52s - Rock Lobster
(a classic, but most kids today would probably go 'what the?')

Talk Talk - Life's What You Make It

Good song but nowhere near the best song of the 80s.

 

[SunKing]

Ah thanks. Great song. Would make my top 50 80's songs.

As for All By Myself i reckon a quality song would be a hit in any era.

Actually, we should be impressed that Eric Carmen can play Sergei Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No 2

A man of many talents. This is my favourite Eric Carmen piece though (the Raspberries, 1972):

Another 70s classic.

90% of these songs are hits that are still played on some radio stations today and are still popular amongst lots of people.

I'm struggling to see how they are 'long lost'

1. The thread has evolved
2. Different stations in different states play different things
3. Some people don't listen to the radio much.
4. Go with the flow, maaaan.

 

[danielcan]

Yeah... we're just using this thread now for a bit of nostalgia. X-Generation still rules.

A true long lost hit. A #1 in the UK late 70's but largely forgotten.

Really?

Well here's one that isn't yet was an enormous hit in the greater Cali area in 1976, in fact I, no, just admire some proper musicianship.

Supernatural (the show) plays classic songs regularly that I forgot all about.
Fave forgotten song would be 'Carry on my Wayward Son" by Kansas- absolute classic.

Also worth a listen is "Oh Sherrie" by Steve Perry- watched Baseketball the other day and Trey did an impression while going for a Psych Out.
And "We Belong" by Pat Benatar (Talladega Nights near the end when they are running towards the finish line).

I'm actually waiting on Bunsen Burner's explanation for Jona Lewie.

I only hope to God he doesn't have photo's of male body builders.
