Good call on Don’t Leave Me This Way , so it’s that or Tainted Love by Soft Cell for me ... hang on , was Love Will Tear Us Apart , Joy Division from the eighties ? I think it was so that aswell

Wasn't the 80's just fab for music!!??

Feel so fortunate that we were around the music scene then.

We've been to a couple of recent 80's weekends at the Pontins Southport. What great weekends!!!

It would be even better to double it up with some fun in the chalet at the same time.

I was born in 89 so.. i don't have much of a say.

However, I can't pick just one, my parents played alot of music when I was a kid.

Guns n roses etc.

But to me the ultimate performer, best band/ singer.. song writer. "Best song" has to be anything by Queen.

*fun fact* Freddie mercury died on my first birthday

A lot of good things happend for me in the 80's,went self employed,got married & two daughters came along,but 1980's pop music definately not something that I recall enjoying,think I was going through my classical phase then.
