This 80s lost classic from October 16, 1982 made it to #63 during its 9 weeks in the Hot 100. Well, it's one from the money... Shakin' - Eddie Money

From October 17, 1987 we'll select a solo effort from a singer who would eventually join Styx for their "Edge Of The Century" album in the early 90s. The lost 80s classic made it to #65 during an 8 week chart run. Follow You - Glen Burtnick

From October 29,1983: Despite only reaching #71 and staying in the Hot 100 for 9 weeks, it did reach #1 on the dance chart and went gold. Not really a lost 80s classic, especially due to its memorable video directed by ex-10cc members Kevin Godley & Lol Crème. Speaking of memorable videos, they would have one a little less than two years later when their song "Cry" peaked at #16. Rockit - Herbie Hancock

This lost 80s classic from November 2, 1985 meandered around the bottom half of the hot 100 for 20 weeks, peaking at #54. Great tune from a band whose first top 40 hit was an Al Green cover. And She Was - Talking Heads

Going with a great band from Detroit for this 80s lost classic from August 7, 1982. The last of two Hot 100 singles, lead singer Kevin Chalfant would eventually reach the top 40 as lead vocalist for The Storm in 1991. This one peaked at #62 during a 6 week stay on the charts. Hopefully, mga707 likes this one. Mega Force - 707 From November 8, 1980, offering their first Hot 100 single as this week's lost 80s classic. Still gets a turn or two on local classic rock stations. Peaked at #52 during a 9 week chart run. I Could Be Good For You - 707

I Could Be Good For You - 707I saw them open for REO Speedwagon just a few months after this song was on the charts--and a few months before this song charted was the last time I ever flew on a 707. The noise, power, and smoke from those four JT3D turbofan engines is never to be forgotten!

One of his last hot 100 singles made a brief appearance, debuting at #98 on November 15, 1986. This "Joker" went to #1 three times, but this lost 80s classic would stay on the charts for only three weeks and peak one notch higher. Unlike his songs that kept "Rockin' Me" through the 70s, this one had a very jazzy feel to it. The song was also featured on a "Miami Vice" episode. Now you see it and "Abracadabra" now you don't!

From November 24, 1984, this lost 80s classic was the only solo hot 100 entry for the ex-lead singer of Supertramp. A 15 week run up the charts resulted it peaking at #48. Portions of the song are very similar musically to ABBA's "SOS". Had A Dream (Sleeping With The Enemy) - Roger Hodgson

Was an amazing show. He did a few others from his solo career. Death and A Zoo was good as was In Jeopardy and Only Because Of You.

This 80s lost classic from 11/27/82 debuted at #82. Despite a 10 week chart run, it could only muster a #57 peak. From the "Eye In The Sky" album. I could probably make up a long-winded review of the song, but after a while it probably would be all "blah-blah-blah". In other words, it would be just a bunch of...

From December 5, 1981: It's hard to believe this lost 80s classic only made it to #45 during its 10 weeks in the hot 100. A classic rocker who came along at a time when new wave was being embraced. Really liked his stuff then, and this one still gets some spins today. My Kinda Lover - Billy Squier

He recently recorded a killer cover of "So Bad" for the "Art Of McCartney" tribute compilation. On December 12, 1987 he peaked at #79 during a ten week stay with the follow-up to his last top 10 single "One Heartbeat". He's a 1987 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, received a 1990 Legend Grammy and a 1999 Lifetime Achievement Grammy. When someone mentions Motown I think of Berry Gordy, then he is next. What's Too Much - Smokey Robinson

On December 21 1985, one of my favorites from the 80s was in its fourth week on the charts. This lost 80s classic would hang on the charts for 9 weeks and peak at #77. It was first recorded by Dave Edmunds in the late 70s. The songwriter would release a live version a year later. The songwriter then released a studio version for his 1985 album "The Rose Of England". He had a little help from Huey Lewis on harmonica and as producer.
