AND the lovely exotic looking Yazz, The Only Way is UP! another crush thread convergence!

Do also have a bit of a soft spot for Rock Me Amadeus.
Surprised, West End Girls hasn't featured in the lists, quite the social commentary on the greedy 80's, great song too.

Listened to Buffalo Stance on the radio last week and couldn't help thinking what a fantastic song it was.Originally Posted by Passenger
Just imagine, three (half) siblings from Stockholm having such international success completely independent from each other: Neneh, Eagle-Eye Cherry and Titiyo - and then there are at least two professional jazz musicians in the family as well.
Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.
So much talent.
White Eagle by Tangerine Dream, certainly in combination with Das Mädchen auf der Treppe Tatort episode.
Electricity by OMD.
Bitter Fruit by Little Steven (yeah I know)
Wishful Thinking by China Crisis
And a lot more mostly early eighties synth oriëntated melancholic songs...
Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!

Tangerine Dream!!! Loved a number of their tunes in Risky Business with Tom Cruise - Love on a slow train :)

Welcome !
I've been listening to stuff in this thread for the last hour LOL. Huge grin on my face :-)
I've got most TD stuff, they made loads of records, the ones with one song on each side are the best, long creations with never ending hypnotising rhythms.
And the younger generation think their trance music is something new ;)

I think they performed this on The Tube. Complaints about the girls wearing what amounted to bras and the bloke being shirtless and swigging beer rolled in lol. I thought it was great!!!
12” with the Jules solo. One of my all time favourite tracks.
So many to choose from…
Simple Minds - Don’t You Forget About Me
FGTH - Two Tribes
Dire Straits - Money For Nothing
Michael Jackson - Thriller
Just a few from me.
So clever my foot fell off.
An interesting mix of “good” songs that have street cred and others that are cheesy and/or pure pop but which you could listen to over and over again! I’m not admitting to anything!!
Dont know what you’ve got by Cinderella, Tom Keifer had an amazing vocal tone and range, he could almost shout and sing at the same time. Until he blew his vocal chords.

I was going to say another German classic but actually Opus are Austrian, right ear worm this one, hear it once and its in your head for days!
Cinderella were great, Nightsong, Shake Me, Nobody's Fool, Somebody Save Me etc were brilliant, RIP Jeff LaBar the guitarist who died last year..
"Map of the World (Part II)": Jane Siberry
Gentlemen Take Polaroids popped up on my playlist whilst I was cooking dinner tonight, took me right back to when I met my very first girlfriend. Took me right back, amazing how music does that

You're all wrong! - it's Boys (Summertime Love) by Sabrina
Being a teen when the video hit MTV was rather interesting
For years I thought that was an original Blancmange song!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=435Tj7YEeJY
I prefer this version, but it's still a very good ABBA track - Their more somber tracks are definitely some of their best.

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?

Dinosaur Jr? Freak scene
Stone Roses? Waterfall.

Love all the above.
Cheers,
Neil.
