Please share your forgotten 80's tracks with me....

[Whirliwig72]

What 80's or even late 70's tracks do you still love (or have a laugh over) that everyone else has forgotten about? I was trawling YouTube the other day and came across bands like Strawberry Switchblade, The Mission, China Crisis and Aztec Camera - music I have not heard for over 20 years that took me right back to my 'yoof' like t'was yesterday.
Please share your forgotten gems with me adding links if you can :)

Drowning in Berlin by The Mobiles is a take me back to the 80s tune.

[Flightty]

here in the house of flight we are gettin down to Joe Jackson, Elton John and Fleetwood Mac...in the car is Tom Waits and Bruce Springsteen, Carole king and the pretenders. And a little bit of reworked U2. And Scott Walker, and Beth Orton.

So take from that what you want

You dress in pink and blue just like a child, and in a yellow taxi turn to me and smile...we'll be there in just a while...if you follow me

Well, if we're talking forgotten tracks - I loved Sonic Boom Boy by Westworld! Just went on You tube to try and find it when I came up with this, all your 80's forgotten tracks under one roof!

[insanityscratching]

Used to love this

[insanityscratching]

Try again

[missnevermind]

Most of these are on my ipod

I might waste the day with Suburbans link

[PercyFilth]

tbh I'm glad I'd forgotten some of those. (Dollar, I'm looking at you)

Friday night is my kitchen disco night - Absolute 80s on the radio while I'm cooking I also love Gary Crowley on radio London on Saturday lunchtimes for 80s reminiscences. I've got Belle Stars' Sign of the Times stuck in my head now, hadn't heard that for so long

[PercyFilth]

How cool were the Belle Stars! :)

[BelleDameSansMerci]

Calling Your Name by Marilyn
Each Time (You Break My Heart) by Nick Thingy from the Levi's Ad

Loads and loads of them, tbh, and all on my iPod Of Shame.

[BelleDameSansMerci]

Kamen. Nick Kamen.

[Flightty]
