Featuring exclusive commentary from Rick Springfield, Thompson Twins' Tom Bailey, and Loverboy frontman, Mike Reno, presenting 5 songs from the 80s that haven't been given their due. This is volume 3 of the Pop fix we covered earlier. Despite a resurgence of 80s music in TV shows and movies of late (think Stranger Things, Ready Player One, and Glow), as well as increased radio play and streaming, our five featured songs don't seem to make the cut, but deserve recognition. Listen to them in the playlist below. Songs included: Affair of the Heart by Rick Springfield, The Captain of her Heart by Double, Feel it Again by Honeymoon Suite, Lay Your Hands on Me by Thompson Twins, and Talk it Over by Grayson Hugh.

Hey Music Junkies, Professor of Rock , always here to celebrate the greatest artists and songs of all time; I you love music, You'll want to subscribe below so you don't miss out. We have so much more coming…

I've done a few videos where I've discussed 5 seemingly passed over songs from the 80s that should be in more regular rotation in our lives. As I've said before it seems like whenever pop culture uses music from the 80s to represent the decade or to conjure up an emotion or a nostalgic feeling, the same 30 songs get used over and over again, even on radio stations, we here a lot of the same songs on repeat. We all love these songs but there is so much more to celebrate. So here are 5 more songs.
The past 2 volumes I've done, some people have commented and said, ….these are songs I've heard before, or still hear.

Again my criteria here has always been that the songs I cover for the most part were hits in their day but are a lot of times at the back of the bus, decades later, so that's why I celebrate them.
They haven't been used in pop culture much and haven't received as much radio play. So It's time to change That. I've included them in a playlist below so you can listen and see if you agree. Make sure to click below and leave a comment on your feelings.
So let's get into it:

#5 Affair of the Heart by Rick Springfield. Rick Springfield was a few years beyond his massive number one smash and 80s standard, Jessie's Girl. when he released this song. Featuring the classic 80s guitar and synth dynamic duo that carried it up the charts.

#4 The Captain of her Heart by Double This perfectly graceful slice of dream pop sat right at the midpoint of Haunting and Peaceful, depending on your mood or your nature. I always felt that it was quite eerie yet a completely satisfying and transfixing melody whenever it came on the radio it always hypnotized me into a harmonious trance.

#3 Feel It again Honeymoon Suite There were many great artists that came out of Canada that had great output in the 80s, From Bryan Adams and Rush to Loverboy and Cory Hart and Triumph to Glass Tiger and this band that formed in 1981. Honeymoon Suite would switch members before getting a record deal in 1983, with singer/guitairst Johnnie Dee as the consistent and core member up to that point.

#2 Lay Your Hands on Me Thompson Twins: I'll tell you right now. This is a perfect pop song. It's Synth Pop Majesty. It was the first single released from the Thompsons' album Here's to Future Days written by the three members Tom Bailey, Allannah Currie and Joe Leeway. There are several versions of this song. It was first put out in the UK a little less than a year before the album was dropped.

#1 Talk It Over by Grayson Hugh This song seemed to come out of nowhere in 1988. Grayson Hugh started playing piano at 3, Bought up on classical music until his early teens when rock and soul took over. He played piano in a black gospel choir for a year, studied under several great musicians and dropped out of high school to focus on 100% on music. He released an album in 1980 that didn't take.
