OT: Obscure 80's songs

[NealIsGod]

The melodic rock defining artists thread got me thinking of songs from the early '80's, many by one hit wonders. Post some song titles here.

Anyone remember the song "Don't Let Him Know" by a group called Prism?

[Maro]

Benny Mardones - Into The Night
Sheriff - When I'm With You
John Parr - St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)
Robert Tepper - No Easy Way Out

For a start...

OMG, yes. I saw them and Streetheart a couple times back in the day. Remember "Under my thumb" or "Snow White" from Streetheart?

Benny Mardones - Into The Night

Everybody knows that song. I mean the songs that you think most people never heard besides you.

Here's another: I Know There's Something Going On - Frida

Ya, same as Prism. They played a lot of the same outdoor festivals and sounded quite similar. Kenny Shields had quite a distinctive voice though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brBUx5oE ... ed&search=

They were popular way back around the same time Honeymoon Suite, Helix, Triumph, Trooper and April Wine were.

I remember Crazy by Icehouse. Love that guy's voice.

Beside Touch The Fire, I also love this one by Icehouse very much
