29 Classic 80′s Love Songs
Posted in 1980's songs, 80's love songs
With all the political angst being poured into the music of the 1980's one would have thought that 80's love songs would be thin on the ground. But no, just like any other decade, people were busy professing their love through song in the 80's. There was one song (sitting here, in this very list) that I routinely used to write down and send to a girl just up the road. But she never got the message - or maybe I never got the message!
It's not an exhaustive list - how can it be - but it's a fair crack, come on, you'll surely grant me that!? Why 29 songs, well why not? I mean 10, or 20 or 30 are just arbitrary numbers. Anyway, here's the list. Do you agree? Disagree? It's all subjective, but I'd love to hear your views.
