<p>The interesting thing is that <em>the </em>quintessential 80's soundtrack hit didn't have any sax at all. It was just that good.</p>

<p>No sax but enough gratuitous 80's synth/piano to sink a battleship.....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tough to say which Beverly Hills Cop song is the best ( first movie is way better as is often the case )</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bob rocked those blue blockers didn't he ?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The moonlighting theme by Al Jarreau had some sweet sax.......as did the Ghostbusters theme</p> -
<p>i unashamedly love me some Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band</p>

<p>holy shit that's a disgrace. Shakedown was his only #1 single!</p>

<p>Yeah might well give that a hoon Tim. Just Googled it, they mention Kenny Loggins, Boz Scaggs and Toto, huge fan of their work too. "Soft rock" is a fucken horrific term but there's no doubting all those groups did some fantastic, timeless work.</p> -
"after all "Uptown Funk" by Bruno Mars sounds like a song that Prince or the Time couldn't be fucked recording during Purple."<br><br>
Fark that is Gold! -
Here's the playlist, takes a couple of episodes to find its feet. <br><br>
Yacht Rock HD: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBEB75B6A1F9C1D01'>http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBEB75B6A1F9C1D01</a><br><br>
Their new podcast, Beyond Yacht Rock, is fucking ace. The sultry rock hits and divorce-core episodes especially. <br><br>

Btw, a great source for this stuff is the AOR Disco blog. I've been chatting with them for years. <br><br>

<p>Reading through this thread, I was just thinking exactly the same thing. It is the most fucked up thing in the world that American movies don't blink at violence or multiple people being shot/decapitated/blown up, but baulk completely at a nipple. Or those laughable sex scenes where women wear bras to bed. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. No woman in the world wears a fucking bra to bed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't get the weirdo puritan stance. I know some might say they are 'protecting' women, but looking at rape/sexual assault/stalking/teen pregnancy stats, that sure as shit hasn't worked, now has it.</p>

TBF, I don't think many people do. It's a weird place at times the US.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Although I did have a girlfriend who would often fall asleep with her bra on when she was pissed. It was doubly frustrating. </p> -

<p>It certainly has the on-the-nose lyrics required of an 80s movie soundtrack.</p>
<p><em>"It's a given, L.A. law someone's faster on the draw"</em>... and of course the entire chorus about taking down and busting people.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've always been partial to Burning Hearts from Rocky 4 because of the "Is it East versus West or man against man" line. Rocky 4 has my favourite training montage too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then there's the obvious Ghostbusters theme song and any of these would have done the job:</p>

<p>But my nomination for quintessential 80s soundtrack:</p>
<p></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Although apparently it got some criticism because "History repeats itself" doesn't apply to this story (was originally supposed to be the song for Rock 3)</p> -

<p>Fun fact: You're the Best Around was written by the same person as the Neutron Dance from the Beverly Hills Cop OST.</p>

<p>Didn't know that, but just looked her up on Wiki and apparently she did the theme song from Friends too. I should have known who Allee Willis is because she appears to be an icon of three of my favourite guilty pleasures: 70s funk, cheesy 80s movie themes and 90s sitcoms.</p>
