All of the above-oh the memories...

One I don't think has been mentioned. 99 Red Balloons

99 Red Balloons!! In German! superb bit of 80s cold war angst..

Come on Eileen

i like 99 red balloons too. it wouldnt sound dated if it were to be released today. it has a great beat to it.

Sweet child of mine Guns n roses just sneaks in from 1989

Ultravox Hymn
Don't you want me. Human league
The Reflex. Duran Duran

99 Red Balloons!! In German! superb bit of 80s cold war angst..

Oh those of us studying German O Level were suddenly so cool as we sang along with it (and told anyone who'd listen that the original was Air Balloons not Red Balloon actually...)

Karma Chameleon - Culture Club

(Sorry)

... and

Paul Simon - You can call me Al

What a great feel-good thread. I know i'm old (!), but i can't imagine in 30 years time, people could list music of today (see i told you i was old, even to use that phrase), like this.

At the moment “Torch” by Soft Cell

Wonderful Life - Black

Ooh so many to choose from,but probably something by the Pet Shop Boys,'So Hard' springs to mind (although I think that may have been 1990),or 'Opportunities (Let's make lots of money). Or A-Ha's 'Take on Me'. I think the 80s was the best decade ever,music-wise!

Obsession by Animotion. Some great tracks on this thread though! (and some.. Ahem.. Not so great... )

OMG can't believe I forgot 'Tainted Love' by Soft Cell,and 'Senses working Overtime' by XTC.

Whar have I done to deserve this - Pet Shop Boys
Anything by Wham
Rock me Amadeus- Falco
Together in electric dreams - George Mororder and Phil Oakey
Hands to Heaven- Breathe
Is this love? - White snake
Sweet child o mine - Guns and Roses

I’m sure there’s more

Smalltown Boy- Bronski Beat

And all Smiths, New Model Army, Cure...

Stepping out -joe Jackson. Love it!
