Human League's "Don't U want me baby" was indicative of the eighties. Great to listen, dance & sing along to

    other fine retro tunes to remember are Talk Talk " It's my life" later re-recorded by Gwen Stephani & Soft Cell's "Tainted Love"

      That was great, thanks rightfromwrong!

      I liked the silent movie flair to clip and the music is really great!

        Lebanon was a good tune also. Much of the music of the 80s suffers from stylistic drum or often drum computer tracks with huge gated reverbs on them (trendy at the time). The sound now is dated and tired. It is primarily what detracts most people from much of the music of the era, which often was; to borrow from Mark Twain..."better than it sounds". I still love Depeche Mode for instance, and they keep putting out good music.

            I have a couple CDs with many of the songs...they were really quite decent. Chicks really love to dance to them. When they come on,one can barely get on the dance floor.

          Music from the 80's isn't HALF as cheesy or vapid as the mid 90's to present fascination with boy bands, rap, and plastic re-hashes of "classic" artists.

          I'll take the mish-mash of varied operators on the air back then compared to the bleak CleaarChannel landscape of the radio now.

          I highly appreciate the work of analog synthesizers and guitars thrown at us then. New Wave was more than just a musical movement.
