Ride Like The Wind-Christhopher Cross

I like the music before the 1980s much better, but going  through the list there are about ten songs on this survey that I would enjoy listening to today, among them Dirt Band, ELO, Donna Summer, Linda Ronstadt, Tommy James

Anyone want to admit they like any of the first hits of the 1980s?
