RetroJukebox: Favorite Songs from 60s,70s,80s,90s

[spiritmage234]

So what are your favorite songs from the early 90s, 80s, 70s, and 60s?

My top three favorite songs are from the 80s (I think). I remember them from when I was a wee chitlin. They are:

Lionel Richie- All Night Long
Clash- Rock the Casbah
Belinda Carlisle- Heaven is a Place on Earth

I also like "Listen to Your Heart" by Roxette, "Land of a Thousand Dances" by Guy, "Stayin Alive" by the Bee Gees and some stuff by Janet Jackson or Whitney Housten or Diana Ross or someone. It was one of them three. Or all of them. Iono.

Nice thread!

I usually listen to pretty upbeat stuff, but when you cross back into the former decades, the music that sticks with me are the more mellow songs.
I guess I got tired of the "classic rock" bands. I've heard them too much.
(The likes of Zep, AC/DC, Aerosmith, et al)

60's - Anything from the Grateful Dead or the Doors.
70's - The Kings - Switchin' To Glide
80's - The Talking Heads - And She Was
90's - Nirvana - Lithium (for now)
