After watching 'Take Me Home Tonight' this evening, I decided I needed to write this little entry. So much great music, and personally my favorite era for music, the 80's. I was born in the late 80's... 1987 to be exact, but that didn't stop me from falling in love with 80's music as a kid, and it still sticks with me today. Here's a list of my favorite 80's songs in no particular order...

1) "Modern Love" by David Bowie

I'm really not a Bowie fan, by any means, but this is probably my all-time favorite 80's song. Not sure why... could be because my dad used to record music videos onto VHS tapes back in the day and this was on there. All I know is it's damn catchy and it has a big, sexy saxophone solo, that I still dig every time I hear it.

2) "Hold Me Now" by Thompson Twins

Again, I have no idea why I love this song so much. Just something about it that anytime I hear it, I have to stop and listen to it. …
