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 :)

Wow Percy I'm impressed at you remembering the names. Were you keeping notes during the 80's ! I can't place Shalamar though but know I've heard of them.

Was in a shop today and they were playing Lloyd Cole - Perfect Skin - I still love that - took me right back to my schooldays

The christians - Ideal world

LONDON NIGHTS!!

No I had them a bit mixed up, I remembered Jeffrey Daniel but couldn't remember which group he was in, so I googled Imagination then as soon as I saw the silly spelling of Lee it all came flooding back :o

Oooh The Christians, they're on at the Rewind Festival this year, am going :)

I loved The Christians and I'm loving this thread. I also have lots of these on my iPod.

Brass is Pocket
White Lines - Grandmaster Flash

There was also the song - just what I've always wanted - or something. It went something like - I've got a mink from Paris, a something from Rome, a whole new wardrobe in my home...

Also Milli Vanilli

Was it Mari Wilson? She had a beehive I think. on her head, like..... not at the bottom of her garden.....

That was it! Thanks Kbear.

Oooh oooh, I got another one

Amazed to see Icehouse. I didn't know they'd released anything in the UK. To me in Australia, they were our answer to Brian Ferry!

We also had Hoodoo Gurus, Uncanny Xmen, Electric Panda..... (any Australians out there?)

Ice House did loads of stuff!!

My favourite album track is Street Cafe. Takes me back to a very happy time in Greece!! My joint favourite id Don't believe anymore.

Love Iva Davies!!

Any Ultravox fans here? Do you know they are releasing a brand new album on 28 May? And touring in the autumn?

Mary's Prayer - Danny Wilson
