Favourite 80s pop song

[Sausage Surprise]

Talk Talk - It's My Life

(as later covered by No Doubt)

Was just about to post this one

[original PM]

listening to the radio today

caught the top 9 at 9 which was from 1988

Visage - Fade to Grey

followed by

Enola Gay by OMD


then some crap which was also around in the 80's!

[Archangel]

A couple from me would be
sinead o'conner - nothing compares to you.
Klf - 3am eternal

[minestrone]

Couldn't resist...

Heaven 17 - Temptation. At 17 seconds, remember green screen monitors?

Still listen to Penthouse and Pavement quite a bit.

Only let down by that drone that is fascist groove thing.

[Gumbo Robot]

Have to be careful here because we're talking pop. If it were rock I'd probably nominate Bowie's Fashion.

Asnit happens Im going to go for either of these 2 largely forgotten gems, both from 11980:

Nu Musik - Living by Numbers

Nick Straker Band - A Walk in the Park

And this lot here went on to become Crowded House:

Split Enz - I Got You

On second thoughts, perhaps this was my favourite pop song:

Landscape - Einstein A Go-Go

[Gumbo Robot]

Oh, I couldn't resist - you can't just listen to this and not be happy (especially if you've seen Guardians of the Galaxy...):
