...my oldies/80s music selection, and I'm looking for good titles. I like a lot of oldies and 80's music, but I can never remember the titles. Can you guys offer good suggestions of great songs?

Queen did a lot of songs for Highlander.

"Princes of the Universe" being the title track. You know, "Here we arrrrre..."

"Don't Lose Your Head", "Gimme The Prize," "Who Wants to Live Forever?" and a "Kind of Magic" are others.

Also, "Hungry Like The Wolf" by Duran Duran

"Paradise City" by Guns N' Roses

"We Didn't Start The Fire" by Billy Joel

"Glory Days" by Springsteen

You should ask Sol about this. He'd help you out with increasing the size of your music collection, and I'm sure he'd give you tips on increasing the size of other things, too. He is, after all, the King of such condondondondrums.

This is pandemic; terrifyingly, paralyzingly pandemic. They know absolutely nothing."

I think the parameters of your search are a little vague. Are you looking for New Wave stuff? Punk? Postpunk? Glam rock? Hair bands?

There was a great song called "Wild Boys" but I forget who sang it.

"Thriller" o_0

"Silent Running" "In the Air Tonight," and everything else on the Miami Vice soundtracks.

Genesis, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel (SledgeHammer! yeaah!)

Duran Duran did "Wild Boys." And I'm quite impressed anyone remembers Alphaville (well, outside Germany where they're still a going concern).

I'd have to go with Tahna's answer.

Other than that, there's always the soundtracks to John Hughes films.
