I've got that 7-CD set, it rocks! Unfortunately, there are already some songs that are not on that set that I need to have. Just wondering what other songs I may have missed.
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

hug Thank you for mentioning Duran Duran, but Living Daylights was A-Ha! omfg

Duran did A View to a Kill, which was voted best James Bond theme last year. thumbs up!

I only bring this up because I remember when A-Ha came out and they were comparing Duran to them, saying that A-Ha was better. So saying that an A-Ha song is a Duran song is like sacrilege to me.

mr.green Great list though, you mentioned a lot that I left out. Damn, the 80s had the BEST music, imo. I will also add:

Eurythmics - Missionary Man
Crowded House - Better Be Home Soon
