couple, us we him her.

Crikey where do you start, unlike the current "chart" music which is so bland and boring most stations seem to have ditched playing it in favour of 80's.

I digress.

Anyway

Bowie had some classics, queen still banging them out shit I could be here all day listing great pop songs without even starting on soul,R&B, dance,electro, hop hop, metal,jazz funk.

But best song of the 80's?

Thriller.

There and to the left a bit

I could be here all night listing individual songs but anything from any of the following will usually have the desired effect...

Madness

The Specials

The Jam

The Housemartins

The Redskins

Dexys Midnight Runners (especially pre-Eileen stuff)

The Beat

Prefab Sprout

...and (as they said in the 80s) many many more
