Rick Springfield/Jessie's Girl (new recording)
Colin Hay of Men at Work/Down Under
The Outfield/Your Love (B-side)
Berlin/The Metro (ITunes exclusive version)
Howard Jones/No One Is To Blame (live Acoustic America recording)
Billy Idol/Rebel Yell (KROQ Acoustic X-mas)

John Waite/Missing You
Heart/These Dreams
Thomas Dolby/She Blinded Me With Science (new recording)
Naked Eyes/Promises, Promises (new recording)
Asia/Heat of the Moment (from Steve Hackett Tokyo Tapes)

I like new music as much as anyone, but can revel in the '80s every once in awhile. This serves both purposes, as it really does all sound new while sounding familiar at the same time.

With a name like "80s Hits Stripped" I was expecting a cavalcade of songs that certain professional females (and some males) use for background sounds on their entertainment platform.
