Precisely, mate. Jan Hammer's "Crockett's Theme" is played on Emotion 98.3.

One mentioned A-ha. This was exactly what I miss the most, given that A-Ha was
possibly THE biggest band of the 80's. Also, how about some Duran Duran? They
were MASSIVE in the 80s. I can imagine how it would be like to rocket down the
western mainland's long straight listening to A-Ha's "Take on me" or Duran
Duran's "Girls on film". Aaaaaaaaah!

More 80's songs that should have been in the VC soundtrack, as I think they
were 80's MAJORs:
Alphaville - Sensations
Baltimora - Tarzan Boy
Bananarama - Nathan Jones
The Bangles - Walk like an Egyptian
Belouis Some - Imagination
Billy Idol - Don't need a gun
Billy Ocean - Get outta my dreams, get into my car
Black - Everything's coming up roses
Bobby McFerrin - Don't worry, be happy
Bonnie Tyler - Sally comes around
Boris Gardiner - I wanna wake up with you
Break Machine - Steet dance
Britney Spears - Oops, I did it again

Oh boy, this list is getting longer than I thought ... however, this is a
start. All of these songs should have been in VC, and I do believe all of them
were released before 1986. I do understand, though,  that Rockstar would always
have to face a problem of narrowing down the selection. However, A-Ha and Duran
Duran were both essential 80's bands, and should never have been left out of
VC, methinks.

P.S.
(Just kidding about Britney ;-).
