(Pro blush)
I loved that song but always cringed at that line.
 
I think I'm gonna have to make an 80's compilation CD now - some corkers on here.

Also remember:
The Specials - Ghost Town
The Lambrettas - Poison Ivy
The Vapours - Turning Japanese (never understood the lyrics until I was much older :eek:)
John Lennon - Woman

and what would 80's music be without all the cheesy stuff like Agadoo and the Birdy song :lol:
 
Can't think of many at the moment, but 80's were by far the best.
I was born in 1988, but i know most 80's songs.

The Scorpions - Wind of change
Marillion - Kayleigh
Ben E King - Stand by me (re-release 1986)
The Pogues - Fairytale of new york

80's power ballads were amazing!

woops! just re-read the first post! didnt realise it was for a wedding!
 
More 80s, will try and keep them wedding themed.

Depeche Mode - All I Ever Needed
Frankie Goes To Hollywood - The Power Of Love

That actually won one of the "Best 80s Record" polls in something like Rolling Stone once. A pretty good choice too, just beware of lesser songs with the same title: Rush, Lewis - I am thinking of you.

Flying Lizards - Money (That's What I Want)
It Bites - Calling All The Heroes
Kajagoogoo - Too Shy
XTC - Senses Working Overtime
The Fall - There's A Ghost In My House
Proclaimers - I Would Walk 500 Miles
Robin Beck - First Time
Aztec Camera - Somwhere In My Heart
Shakin' Stevens - Oh Julie
Kelly Marie - Feels Like I'm In Love
Passions - I'm In Love With A German Film Star
Level 42 - Lessons In Love
Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance With Somebody

I will be disappointed if I do not see most of this thread on our last.fm chart for this week, though I am doing my part to make it happen.

Michael.
 
There has been some great selections so far (and some damn crap ones too) :lol:

Will you all stop saying how you were on 11 in 1989 as I'd been working for 13 years by then :(

Anyway a few more to add on the list.

Laurie Anderson - O Superman
Rickie Lee Jones - Chuck E's In Love (1979 but close enough)
Alannah Myles - Black Velvet
Transvision Vamp- I Want Your Love
Anything by the queen of rock Pat Benatar
 
Some real classics mentioned above, though cant believe that no one has mentioned:

Animal Magnet - Welcome to the Monkey House

A "Midlands" 80's classic still played every Friday and Saturday night in the clubs here.... :woot:
 
Thanks for all the input, this will be probably the last time I log-on for quite a few weeks, so see you all soon...a married man !
Honeymoon booked, will surprise you all with a few shots in a few weeks time. Some great advice so far received from TP members :)

Last job tonight is to get the playlist down (with everyones thanks) to 2 hours rather than the 4.5 it currently sits at .... :)

Cheers,
Neil
