What is one of your favourite songs from the 80's?

[BOOTS52PollyPrissyPants]

Mine is Bronski Beat 'Small Town Boy' just love the dance music and the video is class..Still reminds me of a friend from all those years ago...

Loads and loads! But what about this classic - Brother Louie by Modern Talking?!

@ChristineCagney11 I know such a beautiful song! I'm going to see the Pet Shop Boys tonight at the NEC!

Wishing (If I had a photograph of you) by Flock of Seagulls

I love a lot mentioned above, especially Bronski Beat, Level 42 and Dire Straits.

I’m in love with a German film star - The Passions.
Slightly obscure, but it takes me back to innocent times.
The lead singer was a bit posh, cocktail dress-y kind of song.
Loved it.

Your love is king - Sade. A bit like above.
I die: you die and We are glass - Gary Numan (love all GN, but these were in the 80s, so…).
Many rivers to cross - UB40, in fact, many of theirs, but not red red wine.

Yes !!

Depeche Mode - just can’t get enough (RIP Andy Fletcher - have been listening to Depeche mode on rotation since hearing the news)

The model - Kraftwerk
Quiet life - Japan

(This is a lovely thread - I might make a Spotify playlist on the back of it)

See you, Everything counts and Enjoy the silence - Depeche Mode.
RIP Andy Fletcher, taken way too soon, gutted.

@Daisychainsandglitter
Oh wow how exciting !!
We all need something to look forward to at the moment, have an absolutely brilliant time.

The 80s had simultaneously the best and the worst music ever - that’s why it’s the best decade

I think they were playing somewhere the other night, good reviews.
West End Girls 😍

True.

This Must Be The Place - Talking Heads
Say Hello, Wave Goodbye - Soft Cell

Cars was 1979, but I’ll let you off seeing as he was on your list.
Brilliant song.
