Is this inspired by 'that scene' in Stranger Scenes?

I would say, from '86, Stay, by Oingo Boingo. Which would have nicely suited 'that scene' , too!

The music especially kate bush in stranger things has been great in these new episodes/season...miss the clothes and the wild mad hair with all that hair gel and drying hair upside down with mouse and bed hair looked the best. Thanks everyone loving all these songs and memories..

Love 80s music, and so many great songs already mentioned on this thread.

Others I like include:

Angel of the morning - Juice Newton
Sweet dreams are made of this - Eurythmics
Fall on me - REM
Loch Lomond - Runrig (if I'm allowed to sneak in a late 70s one!)

Runrig were brilliant. Shame I know no Gaelic!

So many, but True by Spandau is very special as is Pride by U2. But Hazel O Connor wins.
