Subject: 80's "hero" music

Written By: migi on 11/02/04 at 1:37 pm

I think the best genre in 80's music is "hero" music. I don't know if montage is the right word to describe what I mean. Typical songs are like Eye of the tiger, burning heart and holding out for the hero. This week I found out the movie called Staying alive. There were couple of very good songs performed by Frank Stallone and Tommy Faragher.
Can anybody recommend more song of this type and go ahead, tell me your favorites! :D
