Cracking songs by Ladies of the Golden 80s

[suzywong]

What ones do you remember as being absolute corkers?

Please dont say Katrina and The Waves or Nena as I shall have to leave the thread.

Thank you

Someone's already mentioned Kirsty MacColl, and I've managed to acquire CDs of quite a few of the others, or compilations that have the songs on.

'Breaking Glass'...god, I actually loved that film.

And why, WHY, isn't this on yet?

Kids in America

[anorak]

Oh yes and Annabella Lwin with Bow Wow Wow. Remember C30 C60 C90 Go?

[anorak]

I've just been listening to the Bangles greatest hits - so good

And what about Heather Small with M People? She has a fabulous voice.

[squiffy]

I am so sad that I still play my breaking glass album - and I still think it's good.

And Dear Prudence still a classic

And who was the backing singer on Heavan 17/'temptation'?

[RaggedRobin]

och, my links are rubbish.

[RaggedRobin]

ooo! ooo! ooo!

propaganda - duel

strawberry switchblade - since yesterday



altered images - happy birthday



tracy ullman - they don't know



pale saints - kinky love



this mortal coil - song to the siren



cocteau twins - pearly dew drops drop



the pointer sisters - automatic



this is fun!

[Tatties]

Ooh and this

[Tatties]

What about this

[solidgoldbrass]

Oooh, Hazel O'Connor! Anyone else remember the film? Such rubbish but so glorious when I was 15...

Any Pretenders song with the great voice of Chrissie Hynde and fab Honeyman-Scott guitar.

Fleetwood Mac songs especially when sung by Stevie Nicks.

Will You by Hazel O'Connor.

Stop by Sam Brown.

[solidgoldbrass]

Ooooh I am so happy I have found Cruella De Ville who I absolutely ADORED in the mid-80s

[solidgoldbrass]

I actually always had a soft spot for this.
And this is a horribly annoyingly overlong remix of a song I adored at the time.

Oh and Sally Oldfield is gorgeous.
I am now dredging Youtube for other favourites.

[arthursmum]

Bette Davis Eyes - Kim Carnes?? (not sure if that is the right name)

Break Out - Swing Out Sister (I idolised the singer, wanted to look just like her)

I'm Your Baby Tonight - Whitney Houston

[luckylady74]

The 1st single I took to the school disco was 'Hey Mickey' by Toni somebody - I still know all the words now, but I was in the Toyah fan club so no hope for me!
I also remembeer the Bangles with great fondness.

[Tatties]

Suzanne Vega
Sade
Kate Bush

[Cappuccino]

oh god yes Bonnie Tyler's Hero

and that Black Velvet one, what was that

and Heart - god they were awful! what fun!
