I graduated from High School in 1984. Therefore, the soundtrack to my high school and college years is full of 80’s music. And there was a lot of great music in the 80’s, but unfortunately some of it have gotten lost or forgotten in the sands of time. Most 80’s compilation albums would include songs from like “Come on Eileen” or “Take on Me”, but forget great songs both from well known bands and one-hit wonders. These are my Top 20 Forgotten Songs from the 80’s.
01. Elton John – In Neon
02. Saga – On the Loose
