Need go running tunes. Any suggestions from songs that were released during the 80s? That decade was just sooooooo gooooood. Think MTV before Real World.

Pat Benatar's Love is a Battlefield
Don Henley's Boys of Summer

among others. What else would you recommend? Brings back good spirited-energy moments?

    Gotta go with Heartbreaker for Benatar.

    Also:

    Throw in some Huey Lewis from Sports...some Billy Squier and INXS off of Kick.

    And, for kicks...add in some J Geils Band.

    I'd go with some DC hardcore (Minor Threat, Bad Brains) but I'm a strange one

    My life theme song? Yep, I got that one on my iPOD already :)

    Thanks for the suggestions, all. Brings back memories, and possibly will create memories.

    a little ZZ Top would fit in nicely....maybe Gimme All Your Lovin
    maybe a little Billy Idol....possibly White Wedding or Flesh for Fantasy
    Billy Squier is a great call too as mentioned above...My Kinda Lover or Everybody Wants You
    Hall and Oates....I Can't Go for That (No Can Do) or Maneater...

    the list can go on and on....80's music kicks ass...
