80's music: Favorite songs thread

**qwerty007** · May 12th, 2011, 06:53 PM

This was such a great time for music for me (along with the 70's) that I'd think I will start a thread to sing it's praises. So many great tunes. Here's one I like...love those church bells!!

Anyone else like?

Anyone else have an 80's song they'd like to share??

From 1989.
Fuzzbox - Pink pink sunshine.
Great track.
Vix, the lead singer, was the stuff of dreams

When I recall 80s' there is one song & video that sums up the music, style & decadance of the time. Propaganda had two mysterious & beautiful vocalists, Claudia Brucken & Suzanne Freytag - also a classic extended version

very 80s - The Remix truly arrived !

Propaganda - Duel (HD Video)

Propaganda - Duel (Extended 12" Version) - audio

The 'B' side - Jewel (an elecro/punked-up version of the original)

I spent the '80s listening, mostly, to jazz: Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Mahavishnu Orchestra, etc. What little rock I liked from that decade came from bands like The Minutemen and Black Flag. And then there was Kate.

If I had to pick one timeless song that I like almost as much today as I did when it was released it has to be. This song captures a girlfriend and a time for me; brings that time right back:

The Boys of Summer Don Henley

There are so many songs I like for different moods, but this is one song that I always feel like hearing. The video was taken down?

I loved this song as a kid - Tony Capstick ""Capstick Comes Home"

"Ya great useless spawny eyed, parrot-faced wazock".

So happy to have your input, but so disappointed with your choice (or maybe my judgment is so poor)...noting your location I would have put you down for anything The Art of Noise...
