Brian Eno & David Byrne - Mea Culpa (1981)
This is a track from one of my all time favorite albums called My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. I wanted to nominate every song from it but this one is good for now.
A Flock Of Seagulls - I Ran (So Far Away) (1982)
"Just Can't Get Enough" is probably the most popular track off Depeche Mode's debut album, but I prefer this one:
Depeche Mode - Nodisco (1981)
Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough (1981)
Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas (1984)
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
The Police -- Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic (1981)
Prince - 1999 (1982)
Once again, no Prince anywhere on YouTube or other legit places, so we must do with crappy ones.
I'm surprised Yello's Lost Again and Herbie Hancock's Rockit haven't been seconded yet. These are like the epitome of the early '80s synth-pop sound.
As I write this, there are only 15 slots left available for songs to be seconded in this thread and there are 75 songs still in limbo...
I won't nominate anymore tracks in this thread, as I believe the best tracks have already been nominated and waiting to be seconded. I would like to ask everyone to look closely at the current list of songs before nominating anymore songs?
I am going to kick things off by seconding this song, which was nominated ages ago....
I have a shit-load of songs in limbo, but have listed below the most important ones. please consider the following for seconding?
You're stopping already? I was waiting for you to nominate "Beat It"
I can't believe this hasn't been nominated yet.
Michael Jackson - Beat It (1982)
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
way to go O-hi-o...
The Pretenders -- My City Was Gone (1982)
Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart (1983)
