Top 5 (Forgotten) 80s Songs You HAVE to Hear | Pop Fix | Professor of Rock

Presenting another edition of 80s Hidden Gems, this is Volume 8. Top 5 seemingly passed over songs from the 80s that should be in more regular rotation in our lives. To clarify, these are songs that while hits in their time they haven’t been as prevalent on radio, in playlists on streaming apps and in pop culture. It seems like we hear the same 50 songs from the 80s in these situations I like to spotlight songs that don’t get their due presently. These are songs that deserve rediscovery. These include songs from new wave band Berlin, New Jack Swing man Bobby Brown, Glam rockers White Lion, new york rocker Eddie Money, and bar band John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band.

#5 Like Flames from new wave band Berlin. Best knows for their number one soundtrack hit from Top Gun, Take My Breath Away, Berlin came onto the scene with their underground hit the Metro, in which we’ve covered with lead singer Terri Nunn on one of our very first episodes on this channel.
#4 Wait by White Lion Mainstream hard rock and glam metal started to peak from 1987 to the end of the decade. These bands flooded the charts, Europe with The Final Coundown, Bon Jovi with the big singles from Slippery when Wet, Whitesnake with Here I Go again, Motley Crue with Girls Girls Girls, then Def Leppard released Hysteria Guns N Roses Appeteite for Destruction and on and on. In the middle of all of this a band that was formed in 1983 called White Lion released their sophomore album called Pride.

#3 Roni by Bobby Brown. Take note. From the end of summer 1988 through 1989 nobody few if any artists were bigger than Bobby Brown. He was the king of the new jack swing at that moment. With the release of his multi-platinum album, Don’t Be Cruel in June of 1988, he quickly became a household name with 5 top 10 hits from the album, making him one of only a couple of dozen artists in the history of the rock era to do so.

#2 Endless Nights by the late Eddie Money. The Money Man is finally getting the recognition that he’s so richly deserved. He sadly passed away from Cancer in 2019 after decades of his gritty one of a kind New York voice and countless hits. He busted out on to the music scene in the late 70s with Two Tickets to Parade an all time fixture of Classic Rock Radio.

#1 On the Darkside by John Caffety and the Beaver Brown Band from the movie Eddie and the Cruisers.
This song is just magical. It’s perfectly arranged. Masterfully sung and hauntingly beautiful. From a band that most thought was Bruce Springsteen and the E street band at first listen. the band was formed in Rhode Island in the 70s. They were once called just Beaver Brown, a name they got from a paint can.
