any great songs from the 80's that you guys would like to share???
At the time I was thinking that it was really too much as a business' music, you know: all carefully planned at the desk and carefully crafted by somewhat wannabe musicians. But I had fun listening to some groups and tunes of that period, and the time has given some of them back their worth.
As Groups in the '80 I liked Traveling Wilburys, The Clash, Scritti Politti, Madness, Tears For Fears, Kajagoogoo, Talking Heads...
Lately I'm still enjoying some:
Kajagoogoo - Too Shy Kajagoogoo - Big Apple Kajagoogoo - The Lion's Mouth Tears For Fears - Change Tears For Fears - Everybody Wants To Rule The World Tears For Fears - Shout Tears For Fears - Sowing the Seeds of Love Tears For Fears - Advice for the Young at Heart Belouis Some - Imagination Katrina and the Waves - Walking on Sunshine Roxy Music - More Than This Spandau Ballet - True Spandau Ballet - Gold Spandau Ballet - I'll Fly For You Mike Oldfield _ Moonlight Shadow Gazebo - I Like Chopin Culture Club - Karma Chameleon Culture Club - Church Of The Poison Mind Duran Duran - The Reflex Duran Duran - Save a Prayer Duran Duran - Girls on Film Duran Duran - Is There Something I Should Know Ultravox - Dancing With Tears in My Eyes Talk Talk - Such a Shame Talk Talk - It's My Life Talk Talk - Life's What You Make It Billy Idol - Eyes Without a Face Billy Idol - Sweet Sixteen Talking Heads - Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On) Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime Talking Heads - Road to Nowhere Talking Heads - Slippery People Talking Heads - Wild wild life Talking Heads - And She Was Paul Hardcastle - Nineteen Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill Feargal Sharkey - A Good Heart Billy Ocean - When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going Human League - Human Cutting Crew - (I Just) Died In Your Arms Tonight Living In A Box - Living In A Box Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry Be Happy Go West - We Close Our Eyes Go West - Call Me Huey Lewis & The News - The Power of Love Huey Lewis & The News - Hip to Be Square Huey Lewis & The News - Stuck With You Huey Lewis & The News - If This Is It The B.B. & Q.
