My favorite '80s classic rock songs include:

Foreigner - "Urgent"
I didn't hear it until the late '80s, but once I did, it was hard to forget. I don't usually like the sound of sax, but I love it in this song. Watching the video, I am also impressed that Lou Gramm sounds so at one with the lyrics as he sings them. Like a good actor, he isn't really acting: he appears to be feeling the emotions behind what he sings.


Foreigner - Urgent (1981) - Original Video - YouTube


Foreigner - "Dirty White Boy"
Reminds me of someone I knew and so the song is meaningful to me. Nicely energetic guitar and drum beat intro. I usually prefer the sound of simple rhythm guitar to flashy solo guitar, so this is a good song for rhythm guitar fans such as myself.

Joan Jett & The Blackhearts - "I Love Rock 'n Roll" (Cover)
A catchy song with a pleasant gritty sound.

And again...

Joan Jett & The Blackhearts - "Crimson & Clover" (Cover)
I like it better than the original. Also, this is the video that made me realize I feel Joan Jett is pretty damn hot!
