Favorite 80s songs

[SunshineDays2019]

Oh wow, listening to music on You Tube and forgot how much I loved these songs in my teens:
Sugarbox by Then Jericho
Feels Like Heaven by Fiction Factory
Story of the Blues by Wah
I'm Falling by The Bluebells

Does anyone share my taste?

Hooverville- The Christians
It doesn’t have to be this way-The Blow monkeys
What have I done to deserve this- Pet shop boys and Dusty Springfield.

Big Area- Then Jericho

Mary’s Prayer Danny Wilson

What a great thread, my playlist is filling up.
I can't find Story of the Blues on Spotify, anyone else?

Love will tear us apart Joy Division
Psycho Killer Talking Heads
Soft Cell Tainted Love and What

Story of the Blues now greyed out on my 80s playlist 😩

What have I done to deserve this- Pet Shop Boys
The Killing Moon- Echo and the Bunnymen
Just Like Honey- Jesus and Mary Chain
The Last of the Famous International Playboys- Morrissey
I won't share you- The Smiths

Not even going to try and write a list because I pretty much love the entire 80’s music wise!

However, I currently cannot stop listening to Kyrie by Mr Mister! What a tune!!!!!

The Dead Heart by Midnight Oil is also great but I sense not very well known, may be totally wrong.

There are too many brilliant songs to acknowledge here and some new ones that I’ll look up, thanks.

At election time, a very appropriate 80s classic is Heartland by The The. 33 years after this superb song was written, fuck all has changed. If anything it sounds more relevant than ever.

Enjoy.
