By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Saw an ad on TV last night for the latest offering from the "Now That's What I call" albums, its forgotten 80's

So what songs can you think of that you don't hear so much as other 80's tunes.

Kon Kan - I Beg Your Pardon

I'll have to check out that album as I get very nostalgic for the 80s. One of my favourites is Duel by Propaganda but I'm not sure it qualifies as forgotten

Watched a documentary on top of the pops 1988 and there were all sorts that brought back memories.

But my fave was seeing them interview Tim Bricheno and Wayne Hussey. And reminding me to get my All About Eve and Mission discs out..

Not forgotten here, it was a welcome surprise on my iTunes shuffle yesterday.

I’d nominate their spi-off group Act’s single Snobbery and Decay. It’s sounds about as 80s as it’s possible to get, and there’s a Tomorrows World segment about how ‘new’ digital technology was used to record it.
