80's Music
Nowhere Man

Just watched the trailer for the new movie "Take Me Home Tonight", and kinda of thought this movie may be alright, and reminded me of other 80's films and the music from this era. Which is kinda of a harder era for me to pick out some of my own favorite tunes, most of the music I like are from old 80's films. Thought it might be fun to make your own 80's playlist.

Interesting, this song was never big in the States ... Talk Talk (the song) and It's My Life were their two big songs.
Did a few top ten songs that came to my mind with different themes ... went with the popular songs, the video songs, not the songs I like per se. Fun exercise with my morning coffee.
