Scritti Politti - A Perfect Way. Always forgotten but such a classic tune. Lyrically sound, the whole album is good really. Living In A Box - Living In A Box. A great single that didnt really take off but fits with all these songs. Perfect new wave rhythms, soulful singing and catchy chorus. Touchy - A-Ha. Same as above. Just encompasses 80s pop oh so well and again great vocals and catchy chorus. Just wait 'till you get to the "yeah yeah" chants for more 1987 neon hairspray goodness. All of these should have been #1 for weeks

Fun fact about INXS's Never Tear Us Apart: The Australians' video was shot behind the Iron Curtain in Prague at a time when the Soviets still ruled Eastern Europe and Czechoslovakia wasn't yet free. Those soldiers in the back, and the grayness everywhere - that's not staged, that was the actual real-life backdrop of the time. This video is a historical artifact in more ways than one, testament to how the political climate of the Cold War had changed by then. It might be a love song, but the video makes it about a Europe that shouldn't and couldn't be torn apart.

No. '70s. The 20 years between 1965 and 1985 were the best years for rock, no question

@derekhehn1321 Год назад

The 80s had the best one-hit wonders and probably the most variety of genres and artists. But the songwriting in the 60s and 70s is unmatched, and grunge and hip hop in the 90s was sensational, along with girl pop. I have no idea though what the hell tie 2000s and beyond is bringing.

I was driving my 11 year old son to school one day and someone on the radio asked that question. He had to get out before he heard the answer, but he assured me it was the 80's. I agreed, but I said that the answer was probably going to be the 70's. When I picked him up, the first thing he said was, "So? I was right, wasn't I? It was the 80's." I said, "Damned if you weren't right, kid." He just smiled knowingly The kid knows his stuff. I'm proud dad.

I remember some of these. I was hoping to see two of my favourite 80's songs on here, because while they weren't as popular as songs like "Shout" by Tears for Fears, from when I was a kid these two songs stuck with me through the years. One is "Too Shy" by Kajagoogoo, and the other is "What Is Love?" by Howard Jones.

@michaelmalone7231 Год назад

I remember "Vienna" being played on MTV many times but not on my local pop or rock station. Another song I'd include is "Major Tom (Coming Home)" by Peter Schilling, inspired from the classic song "Space Oddity" by the artist that I still cry over being gone too soon, David Bowie.

@donaldwilson2620 Год назад

I'm glad you included "All Through The Night" by Cyndi Lauper. I've said this many times, Cyndi is often underrated as a vocalist because many people know her for her wacky image but forget that she actually has a great singing voice.

@nhf7170 Год назад

A funny thing about "All Through the Night" is that when Cyndi Lauper was when she was preparing to record the album, she was singing what was intended to be the harmony in the chorus. It worked, so she just went with it. The song would probably not have been so popular as written. I went to see her in concert on my first day of high school and was blown away. The only disappointment was that there were sound problems on the first song, a cover of Prince's "When You Were Mine," which was my favorite track from the album and which should have been released as a (sixth) single.

@missdebbie8131 Год назад

When Cyndi Lauper first released her album, it was thought that Madonna would be a flash in the pan and Cyndi Lauper would be the huge star.
