It was mentioned in one thread that the age of influence can be why you like a particular movie or song and I totally agree with that but I don't know how to explain why I would rather listen to old music from before I was born compared with the rubbish that comes out these days. This is real music!

I have discovered so many great songs/artists just by watching movies or listening to soundtracks. Often these are songs that you never hear on the radio.
A few of my favorite 'discoveries' are:
- It's Too Late from the Jim Carroll Band (Tuff Turf)
- Anything, Anything (I'll Give You) by Dramarama (Nightmare on Elm street IV)
- 99 1/2 by Carol Lynn Townes (Breakin')

I absolutely love this topic!!! One of my favorite 80s soundtracks that I didn't discover until a few years ago was: Night of the Comet. Learn to Love Again and Hard Act to Follow are some of my favorites. I actually think that Lisa sent me a copy of it OMG about 10 years ago. She also sent me some treasures from Sixteen Candles and Better Off Dead.
One that I have not been able to locate and absolutely love is Hands Off from Once Bitten. "Hands off, he belongs to me, hands off"
On the 80s' note, but a movie that takes place in the 60s, I absolutely love Monkey Time from Shag.

I did not like the movie Streets of Fire but it introduced me to the great song, I Can Dream About You by Dan Hartman.

I also liked the loose screws song from the screwballs sequel who ever sang that?

I've always really liked nick Kershaw,I'm not opposed to cover versions as there's been some pretty good ones down the years but I definitely favour nick Kershaw's original in this case.
Decent soundtrack overall though where pretty in pink is concerned!

I`ll move on from the Wouldn`t It Be Good comments after this...I promise ....I remember my Mom driving me to school, just prior to the concept of downloading, and this song came on the radio...I scared Mom as I made random noises and scrambled to turn the radio up. The only way to hear some of your favs back then...if you got lucky! Just a side note...

I can't personally think of any off the top of my head. Oingo Boingo Dead Man's Party is a good one! I remember my friend calling me up (on our old school landlines) and she had seen a The Outsiders, and I was going to see it the next day. She said she loved this song that she thought was called Gloria! That was the first time that I had heard that song too.
