CloneClown, I can't imagine a CD of classic 80s songs without Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now. Since you already have TPAU - China in your hand, it'll fit right in!

You're right. The Eighties were THE golden age of popular music, witness the fact that during the mid eighties British acts had more success in America than any other era, including the sixties. Anyway, here a a few of my faves.

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 - They don't know
Baltimora - Tarzan boy
Belle Stars - Sign of the times

And a big up to whoever mentioned 'Clouds across the moon' by The Rah Band. An absolute classic!
