I was only born in 1987 but I have always been into ‘80s music. Like most people if my generation, I blame GTA Vice City for this.
True Faith by New Order (all time favourite)
Souvenir by OMD
WFL (12” future mix) by Happy Mondays
Gimme all your lovin’ by ZZ Top, probably because of “The Eliminator” itself
The Whistle Song by Frankie Knuckles. |

Tears for Fears, though, I hated them in the 80's and it's only recently I figured out just how good they were.
The Cure
Ah Ha. I hated that track when it came out, but now I hear it and it sounds amazing!
Depeche Mode - just can't get enough. |
