A nice thing to think of I must say, and so my top ten favourates, (one from each year), starting from 1980 are,
1. Echo Beach - Martha & The Muffins 2. One Of Us - Abba 3. Classic - Adrian Gervitz 4. Words - F R David 5. Sad Songs - Elton John 6. Cherish - Kool & the Gang 7. Rain Or Shine - Five Star 8. It's A Sin - Pet Shop Boys 9. Wild World - Maxi Priest 10. Leave A Light On - Belinda Carlisle I must be showing my age here although for the record I am in my early 30's. What do you think of my choices? There were so many to choose from, and some that I had forgotten about most of them for good reason. As for the B52's song Love Shack, I can confirm that it was in fact May 1990. Apart from 1, 8, & 10 the rest include some of the worst of the 80's IMHO. |

Being a massive Level 42 fan I love Love Games, Microkid, The Sun Goes Down (Living It Up), but my favourite is Something About You. Never really liked Running In The Family, bit too pop. Someone mentioned Garden Party by Mezzoforte. Kenny Thomas has put words to the music called I Will, on his album Crazy World. Kenny Thomas was a bonus when I saw Level 42 on tour in 2006. Don't know who the support act is this year, roll on October! |

Can't find a video for Kenny Thomas, but did find this on Youtube which at least has the song I'm on about on it. I Will by Kenny Thomas - put words to the old Mezzoforte track Garden Party.

This is just too hard of a question to answer. How many choices can we have, 1000000000000000?

The Smiths - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out. Favourite song ever, and it just happens to be an 80s tune.

Fat Larry's Band,Zoom,is totally awesome even today.And Shalamar-A Night To Remember always makes makes me feel good too.I can't remember if Blondie's Atomic and Dreaming were early 80's or late 70's,but they are excellent nostalgia as well.
