Ooh that's a hard choice I love Billy Joel we didn't start the fire or Leningrad

And Decon Blue , Dignity

I hope you all listen to Absolute Radio 80s chanel , it's 80s music all the time with no repeats between 9am 5pm , you just have to put up with the adverts

Yes to Absolute 80s. Heart 80s is also good!
