To ask for your favourite song/singer from the late 80’s?

[TimeToCloseTheDoor]

I need a playlist

I second the poster who said Taylor Dayne - my favourite singer, with a massively underrated voice. Everyone remembers ‘Tell it to My Heart’, but tracks like ‘Prove Your Love’ and ‘I’ll Be Your Shelter’ are also awesome.

I love her too, so very underrated. My favourite song if hers is The Door To Your Heart.

Bananalanacake You Came - L❤️VE IT!!

Also Wendy and Lisa's first album (self titled, 1987) is brilliant. Majorly underrated.

Late 80s: Shattered Dreams, Johnny hates Jazz

Any time in the 80s: Easy Lover

Fisherman's Blues by the Waterboys
Surfer Rosa (album) by the Pixies
The The (the album Mindbomb was '89)
Soul II Soul Keep on Moving
Neneh Cherry Raw Like Sushi
I remember LOVING Jody Watley. Friends was her big hit in '89
The Cure's Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me came out in '97 and Disintegration came out in '88 or '89
INXS had some stellar tunes then as well.

And of course, George Michael... just adding to the chorus to show some love for George (always missed).

Lloyd Cole and the commotions

Oh my God, yes! Jennifer She Said!

Fine Young Cannibals as well (if they haven't been mentioned)
Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians 'What I am'

I'm not sure whether I'd give the same answer every day, but the first one that springs to mind today is Somewhere Down The Crazy River by Robbie Robertson.
