(Finished May 11th, 2020) The Best Forgotten 80's Hits, Part 3: Songs 35-51

Hello,

I was planning on completing a few blogs this weekend. But I was just randomly watching videos on YouTube when this topic came up. I picked this the most obscure 80s songs that are still great songs. I used a lot of YouTube videos and various blogs to come up with these blogs as well as my brain that retains way too many 80s songs.

Some of the various songs the above mentioned videos and blogs suggest include The Kinks' "Come Dancing", Jackson Browne's "Somebody's Baby",  Joe Jackson's "Steppin' Out", Nu Shooz's "I Can't Wait", Gregory Abbott's "Shake You Down" and 'Til Tuesday's "Voices Carry". I've had those 6 songs on my blog so many times that none of them will be included here. They'll not be on these blogs.

I've published blogs like this previously, I'm hoping that many of these songs are different forgotten songs. Since I grew up in the 80s and am so familiar with so many songs from them, it's hard for me to know what's obscure and what isn't.

35) Bruce Hornsby and the Range "The Way It Is":


36) Swing Out Sister "Breakout":


37) Jack Wagner "All I Need":


38) XTC "Dear God":


39) Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians "What I Am":


40) Blancmange "Don't Tell Me":


41) The B-52's "Summer of Love":


42) Go West "We Close Our Eyes":


43) Danny Wilson "Mary's Prayer":


44) Jane Wiedlin "Rush Hour":



Even well known bands can have great songs that are somehow forgotten. 45) Hall & Oates "Adult Education":



"Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)" is their most well known song- with backing vocals by Bryan Adams. But this is also a very good song. 46) Glass Tiger "Someday":



47) Jackson Browne "Boulevard":



48) Stevie Nicks "If Anyone Falls In Love":



49) Icehouse "Electric Blue":



50) Loverboy "Queen of The Broken Hearts":



51) ELO "So Serious":
