[pastafarian]

Trying to pick a fav 80`s song is simply impossible, too many flashbacks of cracking songs
I had forgotten how simply wonderful this album track was



About the same time as this masterpiece

[Live by the sea]

In no particular order. ABC look of love - Roxy Music Avalon and Wham club Tropicana

I then went all dancey at the end of the 80s, remember these floor fillers at Busbys and co?!

I live the China Crisis song, and still have the 12" single in great condition.


In the 6th form we relentlessly played Temptation:



Still love it. (In a friendly battle with head-bangers, who wanted to play Def Lepperd and ACDC. Yuck).

ALL OF THEM!!

B52s - Love Shack is a dance floor filler and always will be.

Cheers, I’ll give that a go tomorrow.

I currently love this. I completely forgot about this track for decades, until Absolute80’s played it the other day.

Not sure how I missed this thread first time around.

My abiding memory of the Gloucester was that they would always play Blue Monday / This Charming Man / Tainted Love in a sequence every week (but maybe in a different order, or possibly a 'new order'...sorry). I can never hear one without hearing the others in my head now.

Loved that. One of their keyboardists Martha Ladly then joined The Associates, seen in this piece of brilliance.

Similarly, I still think of some 80’s tunes I taped from the radio, in the same order of that recording. Probably because I played them so much!

I can see why you went for a cover given the (better) original release by the Only Ones was in the 70s
