Re: your 80's top 10

For me it is impossible to choose 10 Top 80's. I have hundreds of favorites. But I will make an effort to choose only 10 to increase awareness of my "tendencies". Phew! is difficult.

1.- My Ever Changing Moods / The Style Council
2.- Funky Nassau / Black Britain
3.- Ecstasy / EndGames
4.- The Look of Love / ABC
5.- Modern Love / David Bowie
6.- Penthouse and Paviment / Heaven 17
7.- Mama Used To Say / Junior Giscombe
8.- Gotta Find A Way / Russ Brown
9.- Speed Your Love To Me / Simple Minds
10.- Promises / Naked Eyes

Re: your 80's top 10

Growing up in the 80's, and also being a big music fangenerally of different genres, I'd like to choose particular tracks, thatshould be recognised more as "standards", than I think is the case.

1. "The closest thing to heaven." The Kane Gang
2. "Kiss me with your mouth." Stephen "Tin tin" Duffy.
3. "Magic Smile." Rosie Vela.
4. "Lean on Me." Red Box
5. "Breaking down" (Sugar Samba) Julia and Company
6. "Let it all flow" The Dazz Band
7. "Camouflage" Stan Ridgeway
8. "More more more" Carmel
9. "Sinful" Pete Wylie
10. " Since yesterday" Strawberry Switchblade

So many more of course, but that's just a sample! These are all on utube,sorry, I'm too lazy to provide direct links!
