We had a theme party at the w/end. The theme was eighties pop music. Many people think the 80's were a dreadful time for pop. But was it ? Our only rule was to try to stay away from the hugely popular, Dire straits and all that. Here is what we played;
Ktafwerk/Electric Café
Joni Mitchell/Chalk Mark In A Rainstorm
Kate Bush/ The Dreaming
The Waterboys/ Fishermans Blues
The Art of Noise/Art of Noise
World Party/ Goodbye Jumbo
XTC/ Oranges and Lemons
Bruce Cockburn/ Inner City Front
The Smiths The Queen is Dead
The Clash/ London Calling
Johnny Clegg and Jaluka/ Scatterlings

So, perhaps the eighties weren't that bad. Do you have some favourite pop music from that time.
