I love the 80's. I'm a huge Spandau fan. I heard on radio 2 yesterday rock me Amadeus by falco!

Here's some more, in no particular order or genre.

Somewhere in my heart. Aztec Camera (brilliant)
Hands off she's mine . The beat
Tell it to my heart. Tayler Dayne.
My favourite waste of time. Owen Paul (fantastic)

Carol would never forgive us if we didn't remember .

The whole thread is like the video jukebox in The Chaser in Fazakerley when I was suave.

Anyone know of any decent 80's compilation CDs with all this sort of stuff on? They always seem to have all the obvious tunes on but none if the better ones.

Dancergirl · 17/08/2013 22:30

Stephen 'Tintin' Duffy - Kiss me. Great song.
