Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes

i was a big fan of the 80's so anything by wet wet wet, kylie, jason, rick, big fun *hides*

There are simply too many choices!!

I think that, in retrospect, the 80s probably had the greatest selection of pop. You could have 'deep meaningful synth-pop', 'tabloid titty-lation pop' and 'bizarre Germanic beat-pop' all in the space of the top five! *writes wearing rose tinted goggles*

Oh and New Order - Blue Monday is probably my fave.... probably.....

KC & The Sunshine Band - Give It Up

they played a good one today on fm104,
orange juice-rip it up

Here's a few from the top of my head. I don't think anybody's mentioned...

Matthew Wilder - Break my stride
F.R. David - Words
Toni Basil - Mickey
Charlene - I've never been to me
Nena - 99 red balloons
Strawberry Switchblade - Since yesterday
J. Geils Band - Centerfold
Christopher Cross - Arthur's theme (best that you can do)
Tracey Ullman - Move over darling
Baltimora - Tarzan boy

Frankie goes to Hollywood - The Power of Love (Xmas 1984)

Video Killed The Radio Star was the first video played on MTV.

Dire Straights - Money For Nothing was the first video played on MTV Europe

Visage - Fade To Grey. Not sure if it is my favourite but I was listening to it yesterday and thought maybe it is.
