-kirsty MacColl new england

• Gloria, Laura branigan

-theme from Fame

-respect, erasure

-prince, little red corvette

-push it, salt and pepa

-more than this, Roxy music

-til Tuesday, coming up close

-echo and the bunnymen, dancing horses

-cure, inbetween days

Yes yes to all of these.

When the going gets tough

"Goodbye Horses" - Q Lazzarus from 1988. It was that song from 'The Silence Of The Lambs' when Buffalo Bill (Ted Levine) did his naked dance...

Brilliant!

"Words" by F.R. David

Karma Chameleon 🎶

Gold - Spandau Ballet.

DD2 also loves it. She calls it the 'standing so taaaaaaallllllllllllllllll gold song'

Is it me - I’ve been trying to download The Story of the Blues and can’t find it anywhere. Any ideas?

I saw ub40 live last year for about 2 hours. They were awesome!

I could quite happily listen to every song that's been mentioned, and also come live with me by Heaven 17

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.

I distinctly remember an ex boyfriend's parents saying exactly the same thing about 80s music back in 1989, it wasn't a patch on 60s music apparently 😂

Is anyone else singing these songs as they read them! 😁
