Another song I forgot to mention is Lou Gramm's "Just Between You and Me", the song for some reason almost reminds me of Foreigner's hit single "Say You Will"

I rarely hear any tracks post-Thriller, from Michael Jackson on the radio.

I think they've laid Debbie Gibson and Tiffany's songs to rest, also.

Rarely do I hear any Gloria Estefan, Taylor Dane, or Richard Marx anymore on the radio.

Of course, I don't listen to many "light hits" stations.

The only Richard Marx songs I hear on the radio anymore are "Right Here Waiting" and "Hold on to the Nights", the only Taylor Dayne song I still hear is "I'll Always Love You", I still hear some Gloria Estefan on the radio (her older hits of course)

I definitely agree you never hear any post-Thriller songs by Michael Jackson anymore, I also rarely hear Debbie Gibson and Tiffany's music on the radio as well and the same goes for New Kids on the Block and Dino.

Some of these songs I actually have on vinyl, and a few of these I hear from time to time on Sirius radio. "Hearts" by Marty is one of my favs since I was a kid, took me many years before I finally found a vinyl copy of it.

"Hearts" by Marty Balin is one of my all time favorite songs and I like to hear it more on the AM/FM stations, at least it gets regular airplay on the SIRIUS/XM Love Channel.
