And now, an artist who had many hits in the 1980's. I'm putting my favorite. I want to tell you that I love this song, but the point is probably moot. So without further ado....
Rick Springfield - Rock of Life (1988)

Not all the songs I put up here I like. I have put some New Age on here, which I did and do like. A common theme of New Age artists of that era was album covers that were sort of serene, maybe some nature. I found this album is a discount rack and picked it up because the cover looked New Agey:
