recommend 80's music

brick said: "I'm putting together a CD for a buddy of mine, who is into music from the 80's. More spacifically he likes the type of "motivational" or "I wanna get up and punch someone" type of 80's music. Just like the music form the Rocky films. I would appreciate if anyone can recommend some good old school music from the 80's. Ya I already got all the Rocky songs (such as eye of the tiger"), so no need to mention those. Please no love songs. Love songs don't get anybody into the fighting spirit. :D"

Neutron2k said: "how you remind me. that song was kind of their rise and fall. Im not a fan of that one anymore. The rest of the albums are so much better."
