Sorry to be a Depeche Mode pedant, but I am Dave Gahan's number one fan (he just doesn't know it!) But Personal Jesus was 1990. From the Violator album. Harumph!Grin

And it was released underground in the 80s but The Shamen - Ebeneezer Goode!

More of a 90s+ person due to my age, but still..

Pinkarsedfly · 16/05/2019 02:59

I’ve done this if anyone wants it.

Life’s what you make it by Talk Talk. Amazing piano and guitar riffs. Since Mark Hollis’s sad death recently I have been listening to Talk Talk so much - fabulous band!

Together in Electric Dreams

Easy Lover

Shattered Dreams Johnny Hates Jazz

A little respect Erasure

Gold Spandau Ballet

So many but those are probably my all time favourites

fairweathercyclist · 18/05/2019 17:24

I love loads of 80s stuff but my favourite is probably I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston. It just makes me want to dance and sing into a hairbrush

This comment made me smile, so true :)

fairweathercyclist · 18/05/2019 17:26

Can I offer up The Motive by Then Jericho though

I liked Big Area, Sugarbox and Song for the Brokenhearted (the last of which they inexplicably didn't put on their "best of" album).
