[QUOTE=Elleth Faewen;n19582]Best:
Styx, Show Me the Way
The B-52's, Love Shack
Robert Palmer, Addicted to Love
Mike and the Mechanics, The Living Years


Worst:
Buggles, Video Killed the Radio Star
M, Pop Musik
Soft Cell, Tainted Love
Wham!, Wake me up before you go-go

The Wham! song almost sounds like kajagoogoo.[/QUOTE

As regards M, Pop Musik, that song was released in 1979 so I'm not sure it was still in the charts during the 80's. Video Killed the Radio star might possibly have been 1979 as well but not sure.
Incidentally, M are releasing a new single this month for the first time in 41 years, aptly named Break The Silence.

best and worst of 80's

I will never forget as long as I live the travesty that was shaddup you face by Joe Dolce, it kept vienna by Ultravox off the no 1 spot. I will never forgive the record buying british public for that! I couldn't possibly post all my favs from the 80's too many and varied.

I actually read in a book on pop music many years ago that most of the British (or American) record buying public are between the ages of 15 and 19. So, that would explain why they have different tastes than those who are much older than them.
