"This is It", "I'm Free (Heaven Helps the Man)" and "Meet Me Halfway" (a big guilty pleasure of mine!) are my favorites.  :)

With me is a super-close call.

When I started to work as a DJ, my first "Theme Song" was "I'm Allright".  I played it for many years when I started a session as DJ until the early 1990's, when I moved to "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You" by Spinal Tap.

The other was "WHenever I Call You Friend", which was always "our song" for me and my wife.  A song with great emotional meaning to me.

I chose "Forever", "I'm Alright" and "Don't Fight It".  I also like "I'm Free (Heaven Helps The Man)" and "Vox Humana" - I still have that 45.  I think I may still have the 45 of "Footloose" b/w "Swear Your Love" which is also a fave of mine.

I like Kenny Loggins but haven't heard 90% on that list. My fave Kenny song is his version of Rainbow Connection. Simply beautiful!

I love Kenny Loggins. "Footloose", "This Is It", and "Danger Zone" are great '80s pop songs. I also really like the song "Return To Pooh Corner", because it reminds me of watching the various Winnie The Pooh shows when I was a kid.

What about Celebrate Me Home?

That was an album track only.  I was going to add the 'other' option, but I thought if I did that, people would vote for songs he did in the 70s with Jim Messina

Not a big fan, but I do dig "Danger Zone".

The only thing cooler than the version of I'm Alright from Caddyshack is the 8:48 live version on Outside: From the Redwoods.

You know how Lynyrd Skynyrd's Free Bird isn't known for the music, but rather for the ten-minute guitar solo at the end?  It's kinda like that, except there's an accordion and a harmonica involved, as well as "Dueling Banjos" kind of fight between bongo player and the drummer.  Sweet.

Five years has passed and I'm rediscovering Kenny Loggins - I actually voted Footloose initially as Rainbow Connection wasn't listed, however I now have a whole host of other Kenny hits which I love. "Heart To Heart" is a capsule in time for that early 80s sound, "Forever" is a typical but still awesome late 80s rock power ballad and "This Is It" has that magical Loggins/McDonald vibe.

His soundtrack stuff is good - despite being a bit too rock n roll for me. However, I really can't stand "Danger Zone" or "Playing With The Boys" from Top Gun. In fact I've never even bothered to watch Top Gun, haha.

I chose Whenever I Call You "Friend" with Stevie Nicks.    I think I like the song coz Stevie is in it, though.  ;D

I'm not a huge fan of his but I will also listen to "I'm alright" and "This is it"

Kenny Loggins had some great songs in the early '80s.

I went with,
This is It,
Keep the Fire,
and
Don't Fight It (with Steve Perry).

If it was listed I could have also voted for,

Keep the Fire was released right after This is It,
is also another good one but didn't do as well on the charts at the time,

My three picks are "I'm Alright", "Footloose", and "Danger Zone", since those are the three I know best. :)

He seemed to corner the market with film songs written to order!

'I'm Alright' and 'Footloose' I can happily live with, but I'm afraid most of his stuff goes over my head...awesome beard, though!

Mine too - won the Grammy for Best Male Vocal in 1981.  :o I love how it starts off all slow and jazzy, then erupts into a disco-pop song.

And here's another in the same vein from 1982... starts off jazzy then goes all easy-listening pop.
