all my friends think I'm some kind of 80's cheese demon coz I'm always playing Prince, Madonna, Kim Wilde, Cyndi Lauper, New Order etc.

fair enough most of that is cheese but I take offence to them classifying Prince and New Order as pure cheese when he and them offer so much more.

so now I wanna show them what REAL cheese is, I'm talking rare gems like Koo Koo by Sheila E, Tom Tom Club and other stuff most people have never heard of unless they're obsessed with the 80's.

I hear this shit on 80's radio broadcasts all the time but can never remember the names.

And unfortunately I'm too young to remember most of the 80's so please I need your help,..

(nothing too obvious)

see, to ME, '80s cheese is stuff like "i wanna sex you up" by color me badd or "i can't wait" by nu shooz, or...oh LAWD..."two of hearts" by stacey q.

hey, i cant wait was *not* cheese...


milli vanilli was cheese..

Anxiety said:

That's 90's cheese, actually

VoicesCarry said:

that whole era was just a blur to me, actually.

Basically anything from the FAST FORWARD (1985) Soundtrack. That's my favorite 80s cheese musical movie!

Also add...

Jermaine Stewart - We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off
Janet Jackson - All My Love To You
Matthew Wilde - Break My Stride
Cyndi Lauper - The Goonies 'R' Good Enough
Ollie & Jerry - There's No Stoppin' Us

Oh, I wish a dance club would hold an "80's CHEESE NIGHT" or something. I'd be there in a minute! I cheesy '80s euphoro-pop.

To me Samantha Fox epitomizes 80's cheese (her reign extended into the early 90's with "(Hurt Me! Hurt Me!) But The Pants Stay On") just as Britney epitomizes 00's cheese.

I can do a few.....

1) Blame it on the rain- Milli Vanilli
2) girl, iam searching for you- stevie B
3) The right stuff- New kids on the block
4) the way that u love me- Paula Abdul
5) Refuse to be loose- Siedah garrett
6) Get outta my dreams (get into my car)- Billy Ocean
7) Get it- Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder
8) I wanna be rich- Calloway
9) I want your sex- george Michael
10) We dont have to (take our clothes off)- Jermaine Stewart

I figured you would come up with a pretty good list.

No one has mentioned Tiffany yet. I would also put pre Jam & Lewis New Edition in the "cheese" category.

well, he did his job well...we all danced to it in high school with our acid washed jeans and our sun-in streaked hair.

Do you notice how in the '80s brunettes and redheads were considered hot (Pat Benetar, Joan Jett, The Runaways, Toni Basil, Alyssa Milano, Molly Ringwald, The Bangels, etc. etc.) but nowadays everybody's a bottle blonde (Britney, Xtina, Beyoncé, Jessica Simp, etc.)

Now I notice "rocker-chicks" are trying to bring back the "hot brunette" thing (Avril, Ashlee, Fefe, Michelle Branch, etc.)

JANFAN4L said:

Maybe that's why Joan Jett shaved her head.

More cheese 4 U...

Heart, REO Speedwagon, Berlin and Toto. STAMPED 'CHEESE'

Jefferson Starship "We Built This City!" (San Francisco was built on Rock 'n' Roll, folks!)

Anxiety said:

MMMMM
looks yummy

queen of cheese....

yes, this qualifies. 1989. Michael Bolton's "soul provider"

"soul provider" "how can we be lovers" "when i'm back on my feet again" I love them tracks.....


And that "I want to know what love is" is mega cheesy. It was done by a "rock" band in mid 80's? I forget the name?

The easiest of a number of Top 10 '80s Cheese Lists that could be made...

Do That To Me One More Time - Captain and Tennille

Morning Train (Nine To Five)- Sheena Easton

Eye Of The Tiger - Survivor

Mickey - Toni Basil

Cruel Summer - Bananarama

Walking On Sunshine - Katrina and The Waves

Party All The Time - Eddie Murphy

Songbird - Kenny G

I Found Someone - Cher

Every Rose Has Its Thorn - Poison
