Won't list my faves cos there are too many to mention, although it'd be wrong of me not to shout out Gloria by Laura Brannigan.
At work the other day, one of the lads (in his 20s) had never heard of Annie Lennox.
'Who?'
'She was in Eurythmics.'
'Oh, my ma likes them.' |

Duel isn't just one of the great songs of the 80s, it's also one of the greatest songs of all time and so sadly unknown.

I first saw them on The Tube in the 80s doing Dr Mabuse which is arguably better than Duel. A very under-rated band

Actually no.
I was fortunate enough to meet him once (21 years ago) and asked him what the riddle was actually about.
There was no riddle.
When he was putting the album together, his producer saud that he liked it but couldn't find anything on it that he thought could be released as a single.
So Nik went off and wrote the riddle, coming up with some nonsense lyrics to get the melody, intending to change them later - but never did.
He actually said that he got quite embarrased when competitions were set up offering holidays etc to anyone who could solve it. |

Oh indeed - the 80s weren't as great as the rose tinted glasses paint them - I can remember watching an old TOTP episode from 81 or 82 a few years back and there was some drivel about.
The 80s may have bought us some great stuff but let's not forget it also bought us:
No One Quote Like Grandma
Daytrip To Bangor
One Day At A Time (Sweet Jesus)
Agadoo
Atmosphere (and I'm talking Russ Abbott not Joy Division)
Driving In My Car
Every Loser Wins
Anyone Can Fall In Love
And many many more utterly bilgeworthy songs...a lot of them put out by Stock Aitken & Waterman

Eighties by the Killing Joke is a classic video time capsule of the decade.
Lucretia My Reflection - Sisters of Mercy
Stripped (Highland Mix), Black Celebration, Strangelove (Maxi mix) - Depeche Mode
