Xymox - Obsession (1989)

Ministry - I Wanted to Tell Her (1983)

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)

What's that? That's not the song you think of when you think of Rick Springfield? You want to hear the song he's better known for? Fine. Don't say I never give you anything.
Rick Springfield - Honeymoon in Beirut (1988)

Really? That's not the song you were thinking of either? Something older? I guess you were a General Hospital fan. Here's Jessie's Girl (1981)

Songs 293-295

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:
