I've fallen down a massive Pet Shop Boys, OMD, and early Depeche Mode hole lately, anyone else still love the old 80s synthesizer days? DH out with colleagues for a leaving do, DS1 staying at his girlfriend's, younger DC in bed so I've got a good couple of hours to myself for a Youtube/Spotify session!

Whoops, meant on link to my favourite Youtube find so far, very young Depeche Mode on Swap Shop! Look at their little baby faces Grin

Yes I'm still stuck in the 80s massively.
I absolutely love pet shop boys.

Falco. Rock Me Amadeus. Apparently he wasn't a very nice man in real life. Fab song though. I never tire of hearing it.

Rio by Duran Duran is one of my all time favourites.

Maccycheesefries · 17/10/2018 21:43

Anything by Kraftwerk. When I finalise the accounts at work I'll put on Kraftwerk particularly the Model. It helps me concentrate as does Eurythmics, Pet Shop Boys & the Human League. Ooh I forgot come on Eileen by Dexy's Midnight runners, those were the days of proper music!

BearSoFair · 17/10/2018 21:45

Love the Human League, seriously tempted to get a ticket to see them at the end of the year. I had such a crush on Philip Oakey back in the day! He's also ageing very well to be fair...
