[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...

Heard e mc2 by Big Audio Dynamite the other day, total blast from the past. Love that song, along with many others.

Gloria- Laura Brannigan
Use It Up, Wear It Out- Odyssey
Brothers in Arms- Dire Straits
Back on the Chain Gang- Pretenders

Hundreds more!

My kids love 80s pop (from having it permanently on the car radio- gotta catch’em young!) so a lot of songs have come back to me through them. A-Ha, Eurythmics, George Michael, Phil Collins…but my personal favourite is

Addicted to Love by Robert Palmer.
That video!

Toto - Africa
Enola Gay

It’s my life - Talk Talk- In fact, many by Talk Talk
Everybody’s got to learn sometimes- The Korgis

Body Rock - Maria Vidal

Funny how I find myself ....... totally agreeing with you. I love everything by Talk Talk but this song is my favourite of all time.
Also love Story of the Blues by Wah and everything by Big Country.

She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult

I agree also with your choices @Daisyhoney loved Story of the blues, thought Pete Wylie had an amazing voice, and loved all of Big Country, especially Chance.

Love that.
Also, This Corrosion by Sisters of mercy.

I need to do a playlist…

Self Control by Laura Branigan

Keeping The Dream Alive by Freiheit

Brothers In Arms!! Have you seen that bit on the West Wing? Always gives me goosebumps!

I'm not scared - Eighth Wonder. Absolute banger
Enola Gay and Tesla Girls by OMD

I have to pick the songs that when I hear them unexpectedly give me such a rush of nostalgia it almost brings tears to my eyes…Souvenir OMD and, even more so now, See You Depeche Mode. RIP Fletch. End of an era.

Tiffany - I think we're alone now, that's when I started being interested in music when I was about 7.

Absolute 80's has been on since 10.
If the weather warms up I can see it turning into a cider and pot noodle tribute day 😯
Dangerous to start a thread like this bank holiday weekend!

if you have a spare four minutes this video of OMD live in 1981 is superb - if only for the shots of the crowd towards the end. Anyone of a certain age will ‘recognise’ themselves.

So nice to see the love for OMD on here

Life in a northern town Dream Academy

Plus a thousand others, I loved the 80's

That looks great @AlecTrevelyan006 - but currently out of stock, will have to check back another time!

I'd also like to mention a german online radio channel (well, series of channels) called 80s80s.

So many I loved at the time and others I came to appreciate later. However, if we’re going back to my nightclub days, Push It, Theme from S Xpress and for the slow dance Let’s wait awhile!
