I won't swear by the parentheseses...

"Don't You (Forget About Me)" - Simple Minds
"If You Leave" - OMD
"Recurring Dream" - Crowded House
"Against All Odds" - Phil Collins
"Axel F" - Harold F

Next up - Top 5 90's Soundtrack Songs

Damn Mr. Sadly got in before I did...

1. Don't You Forget About Me - Simple Minds (from The Breakfast Club):- Don't care what anybody says, this song rocks!

2. Footloose - Kenny Loggins (from Footlose of course!):- Being a DJ for hens night, I am so sick of this song

3. Maniac - Michael Sembello (from Flashdance):- Could've picked the title tune but this sounds like 1983 in a nutshell

4. Axel F - Harold Faltermeyer (from Beverly Hills Cop):- I loved this when it came out in '85 and I'm not ashamed to say I still love it

5. Oh Yeah - Yello (from Berris Fueller's Day Off):- Okay it wasn't actually written for this movie but it's now forever tied in with it. Personally I'll always connect it with Duffman.

Next: 5 Great Songs That End Side 1 of the original vinyl issue of an album (phew that was a mouthful!)

Okay I'll do the 90s then...

1. Little Green Bag - George Baker Selection (from Resevoir Dogs):- Okay, it's from 1970 but Quentin Tarantino picked this song so wisely that it's now forever associated with one of the best title sequences of any movie

2. Stay (I Missed You) -Lisa Loeb (from Reality Bites):- Never liked this song but this track's so 1994, it's almost hysterical

3. My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion (from Titanic):- I don't really mind this song. Back then, you couldn't escape the damn thing

4. Streets Of Philadelphia - Bruce Springsteen (from Philadelphia) :- Brilliant song from a fantastic movie. Possibly one of the best things Broooce has done. Listen to it with the lights off on a cold night, eerie...

5. I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston (from The Bodyguard):- Oh God No! To make it even worse, the soundtrack is one of the biggest selling albums of all time. WTF?

The next Top 5 remains the same as my answer to the 80s soundtracks

Hmm, a subjective list here...

1) Can't Buy Me Love - Hard Days Rut, Night sorry - The Beatles.
