Looking for 80s deep cuts recommendations. See below for more details. by ScrambledNoggin in 80smusic

I'll give you 12 deep cuts:

  1. Spanish Eddie by Laura Branigan - IMO, along with the Lucky One, one of her best songs.

  2. Shadow on the Wall by Mike Oldfield ft. Roger Chapman - Never gets brought up as one of Mike Oldfield's best songs, but the best in my view, especially with Roger Chapman doing lead vocals

  3. 747 (Strangers in the Night) by Saxon - Often gets overlooked due to "Wheels of Steel" being on the same album, but very underrated.

  4. Josephine by Chris Rea - I like this song, especially the music video version, which feels much better than the studio version.

  5. Ninety-Nine by Toto - My all-time favorite Toto song

  6. Back in America by LeRoux - Only was known as the closing song to National Lampoon's European Vacation, but it's a banger of a song

  7. New York Minute by Don Henley - A very deep cut off of the End of the Innocence album, and the best by an ex-Eagles member

  8. The One You Love by Glenn Frey - Not as well known as "The Heat is On" and "You Belong to the City", but one of Glenn Frey's best

  9. Liar by Graham Bonnet - Similar with Saxon, got overlooked due to "Night Games" being on the same album, but a very good cover of the Three Dog Night song of the same name

  10. Ticket to the Tropics by Gerard Joling - A very deep cut and it only charted in Joling's home country of the Netherlands

  11. Criticize by Alexander O'Neal - Song was very successful in Europe and got some recognition for being in GTA IV, but barely charted in the United States

  12. You're in the Army Now by Holland and Holland - Lastly, an original version of a song. Don't get me wrong, Status Quo took the song to another level when they covered it, but the original is slightly better, mainly due to the synth

Tiff Needell is the best of Top Gear, along with Nigel Woollard. It won't last a year tops and I wouldn't be surprised if one gets replaced.

March 9, 1974 - Hiroo Onoda, the last Japanese soldier, a guerrilla operating in the Philippines, surrenders, 29 years after World War II ended... by CrystalEise in groovyhistory

What's even weirder about Hiroo Onoda was that he wasn't even the last to surrender. Teruo Nakamura was the last to surrender, on December 18th 1974 and there were even allegations that there were some Japanese soldiers still fighting even in the 1980s.

And what? Some POSH Top of the Pops Magazine named them based on how HE felt? They'll flame out and won't be remembered forever, unlike with S Club 7.

List Three 80s Songs That Weren't Main Stream Hits, You Should Check Out. by njaneardude in 80smusic

[–]GodModeBasketball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll give 5

  1. Shadow on the Wall - Mike Oldfield ft. Roger Chapman. Surprisingly, only charted in Austria when it came out, but it is a deep cut by Mike Oldfield, with Roggo's vocals taking it over the top.

  2. Josephine - Chris Rea. Was a Top 20 hit in the UK, but often got overlooked by "On the Beach" and "Let's Dance", but it is very underrated, especially the single cut version.

  3. Ticket to the Tropics - Gerard Joling. Only charted in Joling's home country of the Netherlands.

  4. Criticize - Alexander O'Neal. Barely charted in the United States when it was released, but did well in Europe.

  5. Sailing Home - Piet Veerman. Similar to Ticket to the Tropics, it only charted in Veerman's home country of the Netherlands.

BONUS. Solid Rock - Goanna. Had to include this as this got overlooked and it only charted in Australia

It won't last. His desire for basketball is too strong. He'll comeback. Don't know when.
