They're very very very well known here - great band 💕 the brothers were in Split Endz too who are also a primo band, I saw them live in early 90s in Christchurch & they were fantastic - drove 4 hours (8 return) there n back in one day just to see them!

"Waiting for a Star to Fall" by Boy Meets Girl is probably overlooked due to the pair's other big songs. Oh, not for themselves, but for Whitney Houston: "How Will I Know" and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)." They offered "Waiting" to Clive Davis for Whitney's sophomore album but he turned it down (which actually led to "I Wanna Dance" getting written and recorded) and then they offered it to Belinda Carlisle who did record it (story goes, though, that Carlisle wasn't really happy with the song so she didn't include it on the "Heaven on Earth" album). After those two strikes, the pair decided to record it themselves.

@raymondtitano3819 Год назад

The demo version of I Wanna Dance sounds like a finished production, the kind of track you could easily picture Jody Watley, Taylor Dayne or Gloria Estefan recording and possibly having a decent-size hit with. It makes sense that Houston would take a already-solid song and make it preternatural. (As a testament to how good the song is, find David Byrne's cover of it, and listen to how he rearranges it without diluting its character.)

Dam.. I underappreciated at the time how badass it was to grow up in the 80s, we did whatever TF we wanted on any given day. No internet, no cells, just life

@St.Linguini_of_Pesto Год назад

So happy The Waterboys is included.. I love that track. Bauhaus, Joy Division, Squeeze, The Vapors, Wall of Voodoo... it's a very _very_ long list.

Nice list, some that also deserves some mention: More Than I Can Bear (Matt Bianco) The Killing Moon (Echo & The Bunnymen) Did It All For Love (Phenomena) Coming Around Again (Carly Simon) True (Spandau Ballet) I've Been In Love Before (Cutting Crew) Stay (Oingo Boingo) Strangelove (Depeche Mode)

"True" was a world-wide hit. Hardly underappreciated. Underappreciated would be "Only When You Leave" or "Gold", even.

Every 80s fan keep Andy Taylor in your thoughts and prayers. He's too young and talented to leave us yet.

The Touch and You're the Best are 2 of my faves. Never hear them anywhere other than the movies or these lists. One I still hear on the radio but I struggle to find people that appreciate is St Elmos Fire.

@babarox1998 Год назад

Love St-Elmos fire, for me, it's a 80,s theme as great as Don't you forget about me... Could listen to those two over and over. Another one of my favorite is 'Danger Zone' from the Top Gun movie..

Thanks Watchmojo, The whole of the moon and Don't dream is over is my new favorite songs ❤😍

@nancydemoss2945 2 месяца назад

I love "I Ran"! So 80s! And "Don't Dream It's Over"! It was in The Stand 80s. Forget Me Not's is great!

@monicamason3414 Год назад

Thank you for having Gowan on the list. Several fantastic songs by him.

@deniseklue8415 Год назад

Luckily Gloria gets appreciated by a much younger generation nowadays. Power vocals and a relatable message while keeping its dance tune. Let's just say Laura Branigan was far ahead of her time.

Tears for Fears are HUGE in my country of Brazil! A whole bunch of their songs too, not only a single or two! It's no wonder why they were surprised to see audiences everywhere around here singing their songs at festivals!

There are many Eurhythmics tracks that are underappreciated that I wish weren't: Love is a Stranger, Who's That Girl, and It's Alright just to name a few.

"Space Age Love Song" is a more-underappreciated song by A Flock of Seagulls.

@roginal1677 Год назад

I love most of these, especially Gloria.

@jamiebranson7818 Год назад

You list these songs as 10 most underappreciated, and you include "Waiting For A Star To Fall," "Gloria," "I Ran (So Far Away)," and "Don't Dram It's Over." These were big hits that are still played today, especially the last two, so they're definitely not underappreciated. Ditto for "I Can Dream About You" and "Caribbean Queen (No More Love On The Run" in the Honorable Mentions category.

@hyberr1 Год назад

I'm glad "Waiting for a Star to Fall" and "Don't Dream It's Over" was included on this list. Some songs that I feel like should be mentioned as well would be "It's Not Enough" by Starship and "Listen to Your Heart" by Roxette
