Anyone up for an 80's music nostalgia thread?

[Sparklingbrook]

I am pretty much Duran Duranned out from my previous thread but have been looking on You Tube and pretending it's the 80s again.

I give you and for starters.

Anyone beat them for 80s fabulousness?

For you Shake

Sigh!! Gawd, he was hot. Now watching and listening to it.
Gutted I missed this thread last night, I regularly have my own Youtube cheesefests so this would have been right up my street lol

Ooh, I loved that Climbie Fisher song, forgot all about that one. adds to next wine and cheesy music fest list
Loved this song too (not Climbie though)

Has anyone mentioned Brill. Saw them at ULU several years later. And

And this

Paved the way for Brit Pop (is that a good thing? )

And this:

I had the Climie Fisher album on vinyl. someone bought me Belinda Carlisle "Heaven is a place on earth" but I took it back to Our Price and swapped it for Climie Fisher... not sure why I remember that!

How about this one and a bit of Morten Harket

Oops! Fail! Forgot to convert the link! Morten

I spoke to John Taylor last night

Ooh Inkle spill! What did he say?

He said: (I was getting my book signed) What's your name?
Then I said my name & how to spell it (there's a couple of variation) and I said you'll be here for hours cos the queues huge and he laughed & said that's OK then he said Thanks Inkle & I said Thanks John
Then I went outside & fainted

oh Inkle what a lovely exchange between the pair of you. There was another MNetter there last night WilsonFrickett she has posted on the JT thread.

There's a JT thread??

Here you go Inkle.

Oh just found the clip of the boy meets girl waiting for a star song. Love that one! I used to like the film Three Men and a Little Lady and this was the end song. brings down thread even further into cheesiness

Yay, I've just seen that this is now in Classics! Nice work Sparkling

I used to love Martika too. This is a favourite song of mine and I used to have her album on vinyl.
Eminem pinched her song for his chorus and now all the young peeps think it's an Eminem song. NO IT'S NOT! IT'S MARTIKA! lol

I need to get the hang of the one single word on Mumsnet making a link.
Anyway!
For all those who think Mondays are a bit manic...

Forgotten about Martika. Not a massive Bangles fan-Walk like an Egyptian was not a favourite.

Anyone posted yet?

I snogged a guy who looked like Morten once, his name was Dave.

I don't know why I wasn't into Aha at all.

Loved A-Ha. But I preferred Mags

Also just back from REwind 80s festival. It was fantastic - Nik Kershaw was brilliant and even came on stage to play with Chesney ( he wrote the one and only I think). Billy Ocean was also brilliant. It is worth going just for the fancy dress people wear! Can't wait for next year.

I was a goth chick and this www.google.co.uk/search?q=siouxsie+and+the+banshees+dear+prudence&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&client=safari was my favourite.

Later loved The Wonder Stuff - they are still touring and still brilliant.

Sparkiling, that's how my crush on Nick started....I dreamt about him.

Last night, I dreamt of Chris Noth...I don't even LIKE him in RL..but in my dream I seemed to like A LOT!
