Just a bit too young to really remember the 80's but love the music.
Absolute favourite song is Come on Eileen, after that I couldn't really pick; Swords of a thousand men, safety dance cheesier the better for me.

Just heard Robbi Nevill 'c'est la vie' for the first time in utterly years. Tune. Also Danny Wilson 'Mary's prayer' such nostalgia. 87,88 and 89 were my years, best music was in the charts there ever was. In my opinion. |

WFL - Happy Monday's
Weekends - Mighty Wah
Thee Most Exaulted Potentate of Love - The Cramps
Fight the Power - Public Enemy
Wishaway- The Wonderstuff
Voodoo Ray - A Guy Called Gerald
Sign O The Times - Prince
And to think they used to say the 80's were the worst decade for music |

Girls on film. I remember going to the 16 to 18 disco at a club in Portsmouth. All my mates were into madness or the specials , standing around trying to act cool in suits and skinny ties. While I was jumping around the dance floor looking like I had staggered through a clothes line and wore what ever fell on.
How I miss those new romantic days.
