i got more for you to add on that list. here goes: "fly away" peter allen,"modern day delilah" van stephenson,"tough world","my girl",and a well-forgotten song,"do u compute"all by donnie iris. by the way, www.donnie iris.com he has a new album called,"together alone" it's in stores now. it contains acoustic versions of"ah! leah"and "the promise". good versions of those songs.anyway,where was i? o.k."dance away" by roxy music and "kiss and tell" by bryan ferry. "out of mind, out of sight" the models, "downtown life" hall and oates,"i remember holding you" the boys club,"turn back the clock" johnny hates jazz."you win again" the bee gees. if your wondering, i'm not making this list out of a billboard chart book, i just got hooked to these songs when they came out. the magic of these top 40/a.c. songs are timeless. now, can anybody remember any r&b/country songs (well-forgotten ones that is) from the 80's? put on your thinking caps and i'll check back on the message board soon.

The number one rock station here actually played the full-length version of "I Ran" the other day. I almost fell out of my chair.
