"White wedding" from Billy Idol and "Take on me" from A-ha are really great songs. I love all that old stuff...
Lately discovered something from 70's, that's Velvet Underground. I can't believe I didn't know them earlier, cuz almost all the songs I've listened to I simply LOVED! Begining with "I'll be Your Mirror", "Candy Says", "After Hours", "I'm sticking with you" (the real beauty of this song is almost in the end of it), "Stephanie Says", "Ride Into The Sun" and so on and on...

I love 80s pop. I grew up on it.
Lately I have been listening to a radio show that has an hour of all 90s songs.

I rediscovered Warren Zevon's "The French Inhaler" quite recently. Great stuff.
'Everybody Wants to Rule The World' by Tears For Fears. Gotta love it.
"Don't Dream It's Over" - crowded house
I go for Journey from '80s.
I never grow tired of anything by Heart from their classic rock 70's period to their power ballad 80's period.
But my favorite is "Love Alive" and "Dog And Butterfly".
Also I LOVE The Allman Brothers Band's "Melissa"
Janet Jackson's "Love Will Never Do" and "When I Think Of You"
Prince's "Diamonds and Pearls"
Aretha Franklin duet with George Michael "I Knew You Were Waiting For Me"
George Michael's "Freedom"
Brian Ferry's "Don't Stop The Dance" and "Slave To Love"
Simple Minds' "Alive and Kicking"
Eric Clapton's "The Core", "Walk Away", "Forever Man", "She's Waiting"

"Paradise by the Dashboard Light." Good old-time classic.
One of our local FM radio stations just had a totally awesome 80's weekend over the whole Easter break. My hubby and I had a trip down memory lane listening to songs we hadn't heard since we were teenagers. Songs from Howard Jones, Nik Kershaw, Thompson Twins, Huey Lewis & The News, Billy Joel, Billy Idol, Wham, Boy George - the list was endless and totally enjoyable!!
Its not only the 80's music that's making a come back but the fashion as well!! My 17 year old daughter paraded some new clothes to me the other week and I just kept saying "that's 80's" the whole time. Unfortunately, whilst I love those clothes, I'm too old a fart to wear them now and my mother wouldn't let me wear them when I was a teenager - sucks!!!!!!

Michael Jackson's "Bad" - great album, scary singer
Heart faded fast in the 80's. 70's Heart were the best:
Mistral wind, Soul of the Sea, Devil Delight, Sylvan Song / Dream of the Archer etc
Also - Warren Zevon's Sentimental Hygiene was a great 80's album.
ditto for Joe Walsh's The Confessor

I know this isn't quite 1980's, as this one was released in 1979, but Pink Floyd's "The Wall" makes for a great listen, especially on vinyl!
One of my favourite to listen to on LP

LOL @ Bob
The 80's totally rocked and even as I type this I'm listening to A-ha's Greatest Hits; their Hunting High and Low album is a classic. In fact yesterday's playlist was Simple Minds Greatest Hits, U2 Singles 1980-1990 and Electric Dreams which is a double CD of 80's pop synth anthems. I have an extensive collection of 80's compilations and the Now....Millennium Series.
On the subject of the 80's as well, I see from next week's TV guide that there's a new "Reborn in the USA-type" show coming on ITV1 where past pop stars get another crack at fame and face a public vote. Sad but apparently true.

Its thanks to one of Amanda's fave bands (No Doubt) that I rediscovered TalkTalk's "Its My Life" - cracking song
