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!! -

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.
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.

I have to agree on "Nowhere Fast" & "Tonight is What it Means to be Young". I also like the Ry Cooder?? track (Played when Tom Cody receives the letter from his sister). Does anyone know the name of the track or if it's even available? I have the soundtrack but it's not on there unfortunately.

The music and specifically the music scenes are the best part about this movie. Frankly, though I always had an 80s romanticism about this movie, watching it now, the quality of the movie outside of the music is so poor that I wonder if the whole point of the movie wasn't to sell records.
I always wondered why none of the Ellen Aim or Blaster songs became hits because they are all excellent tunes. I always thought it ironic that the one Sorels tune became the only hit from the movie.
That being said, I have to agree with the radio jocks of the time. I Can Dream About You is the best song in the movie.
