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

coco you know you're beaten when you have to resort to physical violence

owwwwwwwwww

Madonna all the way - and she still rocks!

Shelia E.

oh god yes Bonnie Tyler's Hero

and that Black Velvet one, what was that

and Heart - god they were awful! what fun!

Suzanne Vega
Sade
Kate Bush

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

What about this

Ooh and this

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!

och, my links are rubbish.

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'?

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.

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

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

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

Kids in America

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.
