"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.

Ever So Lonely - Monsoon

Nineteen - Paul Hardcastle

Im nin'alu by Ofra Haza. Paul.Gambaccini played it on Pick of the Pops on Saturday - hadn't heard it for years.

Peter Gabriel - Lay Your Hands On Me

Hipsway 'The Honey Thief', Scarlet Fantastic 'No Memory', Japan 'Quiet Life'

The Associates 'Party Fears Two'

O Superman - Laurie Anderson
Lucky Number- Lena Lovich
Will you and Eighth Day from Hazel O'Connor's Breaking Glass

Buffalo Stance! I am transported back to 1989, aged 23, sitting alone in a hotel room in Vienna with the music channel on a loop, crying and thinking I have made a big mistake taking a job there. And I was right.

Bowie’s Cat people (Putting out the fire with gasoline) that he co-wrote with Giorgio Moroder. The original (and best) version was the title song of the film ‘Cat people’ then he re-recorded it and put it on the Let’s dance album about 18 months later.
