"Forgotten" 80s songs or hidden gems

[xsquared]

Are there any songs from the 80s that you miss not hearing anymore or that never get played on Radio 2 or other nostalgia type music programmes?

I've put together an 80s quiz and one of them is a music round.Given that there will participants born after 1989, I didn't want to make it too ageist. I have however added International Rescue by Fuzzbox, as the obscure one in the list.

The Rah Band: Clouds Across the Moon
Falco: Rock Me Amadeus

Buffalo Stance

Nearly put Rock Me Amadeus!

Breathe - hands to heaven
