Good thread. Some great songs from the 80s that I remember growing up. Some guilty pleasures. Others I've picked up after the 80's was over.

Favourites already mentioned on this thread by OMD, Erasure, A Flock Of Seagulls, New Order...here are some other favourites...

Absolutely love this from the end of Napolean Dynamite -

I think because Take On Me still gets thrashed quite a bit, I actually prefer this song from A-Ha now.

Like quite a few songs of The Police, this is probably my favourite

One of my favourite 80s songs from my favourite 80s band. This isn't the original version, but seems to be a studio recording of the live version played after they'd introduced the Hibs suppporting Weir brothers on brass.

And here's how even the coolest guys can look a bit silly when they try too hard to resemble Wham.

I stuck on Vintage TV yesterday and it had a "best of the 80's" programme one. Thankfully, they included the Smiths :greengrin
