  8. Looked at some of the earlier posts and was surprised at some of the comments. I thought the 1980s was a very strong decade for music. A decade where music was strong while movies were weak.

    Don't know what qualifies as dance music for some of you but some more songs to consider:

    Funkytown - Lipps Inc.
    I Like Chopin - Gazebo
    Breakout - Swing Out Sister
    Cherish - Kool and the Gang
    Don't You Forget About Me - Simple Minds
    Roseanna - Toto
    Time of My Life (from Dirty Dancing) - Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes
    Don't Dream It's Over - Crowded House
    Our House - Madness
    Conga - Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine
    There's Always Something There to Remind Me - Naked Eyes/Burt Bacharach
    Heaven Give Me the Words - Propaganda
    The Heat is On - Glenn Frey
