I can't pick just one. Lately, I’ve been listening to The Boys of Summer by Don Henley a lot. It’s so atmospheric.

Absolute love the 80s
But if I had to pick a few. China crisis Blackman Ray. The smiths the boy with a thorn in his side. Nik kershaw wouldn't it be good. Cock robin the promise you made. Howard jones everlasting love. The adventures broken land. |

99 Red Balloons is the quintessential '80s song in my mind so that's my #1 choice.

Just watching "Kings Of Soul" on BBC4
"Jah Mo Be There" by James Ingram & Michael McDonald was a hell of a song, wasn't it? |

I'm a massive eighties fan and love lots of songs, especially anything by:
PSB Depeche Mode Madonna Also, The Specials Madness Peter Gabriel FGTH OMD But... Som of my fave more obscure songs from the eighties are: Atmospherics (Listen To The Radio) by Tom Robinson Police Officer by Smiley Culture Some People by Belouis Some Sunset Grill by Don Henley And yes, Ya Mo B There is an absolutely brilliant song, same goes for Ai No Corrida and Somebody's Watching Me! |

Surprised these two have not been mentioned yet:
Martha and the Muffins - Echo Beach Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes 80's fans will also appreciate this video from a few years ago when Howard Jones & Nik Kershaw got together on stage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amD2G9Kuu10 |

![]() There are countless favourite 80's songs from the likes of AHA, Duran Duran, Madness, Belinda Carlisle, Kim Wilde, Spandu Ballet, Adam & the Ants etc etc, that I couldn't list them all. However there are a couple of gems that I always have to sing along to Red Box - Lean on me The Mighty Wah - Story of the Blues The 80's were the best decade for me for music & will hopefully be going to Reload this year as the lineup looks superb. http://www.reloadfestival.co.uk/ |
