Favourite song from the 80s

[dustarr73]

This is one of mine.

this is one f my favourite covers

From out of Nowhere
Faith No More

Or anything by Iron Maiden from that decade

My current 80’s Spotify playlist plays for 12 and a half hours but my absolute fave song ever is For a Friend by The Communards. Loved Jimmy Somerville’s voice back in the day.

The Boys of Summer by Don Henley.

Takes me right back to my teenage years and still makes me tingle. Such an atmospheric track.

Video Killed The Radio Star was from 1979 but The Plastic Age was 1980. Sorry to be pedantic.

Church Of The Poison Mind by Culture Club is a fabulous, Northern Soul-influenced song. Their best.

Blue Monday
Dancing in the dark
Everybody Wants to Rule the World
Take on me
Livin' On a Prayer
I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight - Cutting Crew
Gimme All Your Lovin- ZZ Top

Nothing’s gonna stop us now......

From Mannequin

I’ve got loads but at the moment two of my favourites are :
Taylor Dayne - tell it to my heart
Jermaine Stewart - we don’t have to take our clothes off .

Oh where to start!

Love Is. wonderful Colour Icicle Works

A great decade for music. I've not started on Stock, Atkin and Waterman hits yet.

First one that came into my head (will change tomorrow) is The Jesus and Mary Chain - Some Candy Talking

Just Can't Get Enough - Depeche Mode

Still bloody love George Michael 💕

Slave to the Rhythm - Grace Jones

Couldn't possibly narrow it down to even favourite 200

Can I offer up The Motive by Then Jericho though?

Dyac any true fan knows it was deliberate misspelling Jerico

Sign of the times and U got the look by Prince

Temptation by Heaven 17

Come live with me by Heaven 17

Don Henley - Boys of Summer.

I plotted out a whole John Hughes style 80s film to that song on the way into work one morning. Happy 80s daydreams.

Mental as anything live it up ......xxxx

Modern Love - Bowie

No idea why. It’s truly a shit song

Loads really, but if it’s got to be one then 12” Pale Shelter by Tears for Fears.
