It's so hard to choose. They're all great. Hell, I even love It'll Never Be You! While we're on the subject of music, any of you guys familiar with the song Amy Madigan sang on the soundtrack to Walter Hill's Crossroads? It's wonderful.

Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young is my favorite. The lyrics and the music are great but I have to admit the concert of the last scene is what makes it brilliant to me especially when the The Sorels rise up to the stage.

The Fixx's Deeper and Deeper. Just a really great song.
I really liked I Can Dream About You when it first came out, but it was on high rotation on the radio and MTV at the time and I soon got sick of it. I heard it on the radio the other day and realized that I like it again after 25 years.

"Tonight is What Means to be Young" is my favorite, BUT
I heard a song by Dan Hartman called "We Are the Young" that is supposedly on the soundtrack to SoF, although I didn't hear it sung in the movie. Perhaps there was a brief snippet of it I didn't catch or maybe it was the "B-side" to the "I Can Dream About You" single. Either way, "We Are the Young" is an
amazing
songeven better than the overplayed "I Can Dream"
Anyone else know about this one? -

Never realized We Are the Young was supposed to be in the movie. It was actually the follow up single to I Can Dream About You. Charted November 1984 and peaked at number 25. Basically, it was one of those attempts to push an artist into the charts with an album and song after a hugely successful soundtrack song. For instance, Michael Sembello followed up Maniac with "automatic man", which went nowhere. Irene Cara released an entire album called "What a Feelin", produced by Giorgio Moroder, who produced the soundtrack to Flashdance. But she only had limited success with the singles from that albumBreakdance was the only other song of hers to break the top 10.

Probably because Jim Steinmann also wrote "Holding Out For A Hero". It's funny, I'll hear a song he wrote and think, "That kind of sounds like a Meatloaf song." I'll then look up the song and see Steinmann's name. He has a distinct style that comes out no matter who is singing the song. It's very theatrical.

Yeah! I'm with you on that. The Fixx's "Deeper and Deeper" is a song that to me was one of my favorite songs from the 1980's, and I own thousands of songs from the 1980's on records, that today I will listen to. I CAN NOT stand the music from the past 20 years. I am not joking about that. The 80's wee my favorite decade! I am estatic that I got spend my youth through those years. I would hate having to my spend my youth being subjected to the no talent of this decade and the last. Thank goodness for Sirius XM.

"Nowhere Fast" is such an awesome start into the movie. Every movie should start with such a powerful song and such a great performance. Just great!
I love these speedchanges in the song around "And I'm out for you tonight, I'm comin' out for you tonight. Even if you don't have anywhere to go" -

I love all of the songs on this soundtrack! Even Never Be You, the "overplayed" I Can Dream About You and the "cheesy" Countdown To Love. Never Be You was a great song to listen to after a breakup. Countdown has wonderful vocal harmonies and I love cheese anyway. : )
I guess if I had to pick one, it would be I Can Dream About You. I so loved this song that not only did I buy the SoF soundtrack, but I bought the EP of I Can Dream About You.
I agree with everyone about the performances -they were stellar! And since I didn't see it mentioned, I thought the Sorels' in-line moonwalk was really cool!! -

I have that soundtrack. It has a lot in common with SOF: Ry Cooder songs and a
soundtrack that is much better than the movie. Crossroads should have been called The Guitar Kid.
The Amy Madigan song is called something like That Man Made A Woman Outta Me. It's very bluesy and suggestive. I kind of had the hots for Amy Madigan back in the eighties. I almost want to add her to my list of women who could tie me to a chair and give me the kind of discipline that a filthy pig, like myself, so desparately deserves.
A dope trailer is no place for a kitty.
