J. Geils Band - Freeze Frame

Because I always loved the simplicity of this beat since I was a kid.

The Pointer Sisters - Jump (For My Love)

Because any REAL 80s playlist would be incomplete without this Pointer Sisters classic.

Heart - These Dreams

Because I've been a fan of Heart since the 80s when they put the "power" in "power ballads."

Bee Gees - Too Much Heaven (1979)

Because in spite of all of their hits, I think this Bee Gees song is still underrated.

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Secret

Because I've always thought that OMD was an underrated group from the 80s.

Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough (Remastered Video)

Because before they went all serious in later years, this band first came out with a fun pop song 37 years ago. ;)

Big Country - In A Big Country

Because it's rare for a band to sing a song with their own name in the song's title. ;)

Queen - One Vision (Extended) 1985 [Official Video]

Because I'm still on a Bohemian Rhapsody high and I think this is one of Queen's more underrated songs (if there were any).

Queen - We Will Rock You (Official Video)

Because after watching Bohemian Rhapsody, my love for Queen and their music has only gotten stronger.

Phil Collins - Sussudio (Official Music Video)

Because that song title might be pure gibberish, but I still dug this 33-year-old classic.

West End Ft. Sybil - The Love I Lost - Official Video

Because 25 years ago, you couldn't miss this dance hit on any radio station.

Queen - A Kind of Magic (Official Video)

Because to this day, no frontman has ever been quite as magical as Freddie Mercury was.

The Killers - Somebody Told Me

Because though it might not be as awesome as Mr. Brightside, I still loved this song by The Killers from 14 years back.

Barenaked Ladies - One Week (Video)

Because, yeah, this trademark BNL song with references to Aquaman and LeAnn Rimes was released 20 years ago.

Breathe - Hands To Heaven

Because they don't make ballads like this anymore (and I had a cassette of Breathe back in the day).

Respect - Aretha Franklin

Because nobody ever did it like the one and only Queen of Soul.

Sarah McLachlan - Building A Mystery (Clear Channel Stripped Raw and Real)

Because I've never really gotten this haunting song (and singer) out of my head for the past 21 years.

10.000 Maniacs - Because The Night (MTV Unplugged) (HD)

Because during the Unplugged era on MTV, this was one of my favorite tracks, and this was the band's undisputed peak.

ABC - The Look Of Love

Because that's a pretty weird video for a memorable 80s song.

Annie Lennox - Walking on Broken Glass (Official Video)

Because after a conversation yesterday, I realized that yeah, I'd still pay to watch Annie if she performed in concert here in Manila.

INXS - I Send A Message

Because INXS is too often forgotten as one of the great bands of the 80s.

Frank Stallone - Far From Over (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Because Season Two of GLOW had this playing in a training montage and it's still funny to me that Sylvester Stallone directed "Staying Alive" and had his brother, Frank, perform this.

Paul Carrack - Don't Shed A Tear (Official Video)

Because this is 31-year-old song is yet another underrated 80s gem.

Naked Eyes - Always Something There To Remind Me (Official Video)

Because though there may be other versions of this song out there, this one by Naked Eyes remains my favorite one.

Danny Wilson - Mary's Prayer

Because 31 years later, we still haven't met Danny Wilson but this song is still so chill.

Sonia - You'll Never Stop Me Loving You - Official Video

Because sometimes you just need to hear mindless pop from Stock Aitken Waterman by Sonia from 29 years ago.

Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out

Because I always loved that beat even back in 1982 and Joe Jackson is more than just "Be My Number Two." ;)

Queen - Don't Stop Me Now (Official Video)

Because this still rocks 40 years since its release, and I can't wait to watch Rami Malek rock this in "Bohemian Rhapsody" in a few months.

Air Supply - All Out Of Love

Because like "Angel of the Morning" before it, this plays a pretty prominent role in Deadpool 2, and the move wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Prince - Raspberry Beret (Official Music Video)

Because among Prince's many hits I always liked this underrated piece.

Kenny Loggins - Whenever I Call You "Friend"

Because this 40-year-old song was a staple tune among local showbands in the 90s.

Boz Scaggs - Heart Of Mine

Because I've always felt that Boz Scaggs has been overlooked and underappreciated, and this 30-year-old song is still a favorite.

Genesis - Invisible Touch (Official Music Video)

Because sometimes, you just need good old-fashioned 80s pop-rock from Genesis.

After 7 - Ready or Not

Because this is one of those forgotten slow jam gems from the late 80s/early 90s.

Jade - Don't Walk Away (1992)

Because I was recently reminded how awesome this underrated song actually was.

Night Ranger - Sister Christian

Because sometimes, you just need to rock out to a cheesy 80s power ballad.

Men At Work - Who Can It Be Now? (Video Version)

Because that sax, unlike in other cheesier songs, still rocks 37 years after it was first released.

Brenda Russell - Piano In The Dark

Because until recently, I really didn't know how Brenda Russell looked like in spite of digging this song for 30 years. :p

Billy Ocean - Caribbean Queen (No More Love On The Run)

Because there are few things that scream "1980s" quite like Billy Ocean's classic.

Crazy - Icehouse 1987

Because this is a pretty underappreciated Aussie band from the late 80s but I still liked the song.

Diana King - Shy Guy

Because I always liked this funky song, even when I first heard it 23 years ago.

Sade - Your Love Is King (Official Video)

Because 34 years later, there are still few singers as sexy as Sade Adu.

The Cranberries - Dreams

Because after "Linger," this is probably my favorite Cranberries song. Just thankful I was able to watch them live six years ago. #RIPDoloresORiordan

Enya - Orinoco Flow (video)

Because I thought about this song while in Cebu yesterday because I remembered it had Cebu in the lyrics.

Dishwalla - Counting Blue Cars

Because no 90s playlist is complete without this.
