songs from the 80's like:
True by Spandau Ballet
If You Leave by Orchestral Manoevers in the Dark
You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling by Hall and Oates
they all sound similar...especially the first two and others like it...do they have their own genre/classification?

to me the first two are just called new wave. the third is soft rock. i don't know if there's anything more specific. synth-pop maybe?

spandau ballet was called New Romanitcs, went with adam and the ants, and the like,
OMD were out of the new romantic school, but more what's now called old school dance,
you've lost that loving feeling was never recorded by Hall and oats, it was originally recorded by Long John Baldry in I think the early sixties, he re-released it in the 80's

The first two I would call "Post Modern" new wave. The last, is blue-eyed soul/R & B. But the production on each is very 3-D and lush...I can see where you'd want to put them in the same genre.

yeah, go to the store and look for the "crap" section. lol, j/k.
i'd say soft rock is your best bet, but even though the 80's dont seem to far back to some of us, it could be in the "classic" section. more and more 80's groups are popping up in there.

My husband used to always tell me that my music likes were MOR ~ Middle Of the Road. Soft rock, easy listening, pop... all good terms.
