One of the best songs from one of the best albums of the decade.

Absolute 80's radio is without doubt the best creation ever since Franck Sauzee.

Karma Chameleon by Culture Club. That was the best song of the 80s.

Love this song.
Two utter belters. I don't actually own either of them, and wouldn't put them on my all time top 10 or anything, but think these two between them encompass all the groovy sounds that kicked about in the first half of the eighties:

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

Guitly pleasure, but quality :greengrin

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.
OMD - Julia's Song

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
