we all i'm sure have a few of these. but the general idea as i see it is...what song from the 80s never made it "mainstream" but you felt should have.

for me - my 1st entry is - the rembrants - confidential information.

First time I think I've ever seen someone else mention Streets (1st album was good, 2nd album not so much).

I admit, this is from 1990, but forgive me. We all know 1990 was the same as the late 80s, musically.

Amen, brother...He was amazing. Correction on the name, though...It's Criss.

I actually prefer Al Pitrelli, though, because of his more melodic style.

Wow, that was actually a great song....with Timothy B. Schmidt on vox....this was pretty much a Henry Small solo project. Basically all the original members had left. Still, a great AOR track.
