Love 'Brilliant Mind', fantastic song!

Self control - Laura Brannigan
I won't let the sun go down on me Nik Kershaw
Shout and I want to rule the world- Tears for Fears

Toto - Africa

Men Without Hats - The Safety Dance
Toni Basil - Hey Mickey
Mari Wilson - Just What I Always Wanted

It was a decade all of its own...

Everywhere Fleetwood Mac
Summer of '69. Bryan Adams
Faith George Michael
Walking on sunshine Katrina and the waves
Making your mind up Buck's Fizz
The lion sleeps tonight tight fit
Feels like I'm in love Kelly Marie
Chain reaction Diana Ross
There are too many to choose !

Not a single bad choice anywhere on here

I disagree. Agadoo was mentioned..

(admittedly with a big grinning smiley... but still)

Tainted Love - Soft Cell

Boys of summer- Don Henley

It's a Sin - Pet Shop Boys...although having said that most of my fave PSB songs are album tracks or B-sides! It Couldn't Happen Here and Your Funny Uncle deserve honorable mentions.

Total Eclipse Of The Heart- Bonnie Tyler.

Never going to give you up Rick Astley

Desert Moon Denis de Young

Ashes to ashes by David Bowie
Forbidden colours by David Sylvain

Forgot to add
Belfast child - Simple minds
Shades - Iggy pop.

Another vote for Brilliant Mind here

If I Was is another favourite - I love it so much I can overlook the bad grammar

Take on me - a ha.
