Please guys, post only songs you like to share because you (heard it before) and you like it.

No point simply posting songs because we can do a search using google and get all the popular songs in the 80s.

Late 70s plenty more - Boomtown Rats, Elvis Costello, Squeeze, Adam & the Ants
Was never into music from across the pond - prefer Brits - New Romantics, Punk, SKA etc - more character

Most of the bands were formed in the 70s too. My 2 cents, 80s music is too broad but I taken the new wave bands as the sound of the early 80s.

For example the early albums in the late 70s by The Police were good.

While the 60s have Beatles and the 70s have Abba and Bee Gees, the 80s is new wave, though the new wave bands started in the 70s.

Though disco music is still much alive in the early 80s, disco music is 70s era.

What la... that song was from the 60s. Just because you hear it in a 80s top gun movie doesn't make it 80s.

Ya, just digging around (YouTube) for songs I heard and liked... and digging more on the lyrics and background of the songs... so post some of them since I'm listening 🎧 and having some fun screencast it from my phone to tv...

One can dig around... and not dig up Sheena Easton - Telefone unless you were there in the 80s and remembered it.

Here's one that was on the radio played many times throughout the day...

Talking Heads - Burning down the house.

Is this a movie?

From google...

""Chariots of Fire" is an instrumental theme written and recorded by Vangelis for the soundtrack of the 1981 film of the same name."

"Chariots of Fire, British dramatic film, released in 1981, that tells the true story of two British runners who brought glory to their country in the Olympic Games of 1924 in Paris. The film won both the BAFTA Award and the Academy Award for best picture and also garnered the Golden Globe Award for best foreign movie."

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Have totally forgotten this song Hold Me Now (1983) from Thompson Twins.

Just as catchy as this...

Flock of Seagulls - I Ran (So Far Away) (1982)
