That's more like it, Gwen McRae & 808 State are top tunes, I've got them in my car at the moment I had Rapper's Delight on 12" import still in the film sleeve and gave it away to someone as a pressie

Back in the early 80s I used to love Public Image - Jah Wobble and his bass guitar (for you very olduns ) and the Psychadelic Furs were one of the first bands I ever went to see

last week I bought four Police albums on cd. I only had them on vinyl, and it would have been rude not to at 'buy 4 for £20'!

YouTube - Echo & The Bunnymen - The Killing Moon [Music Video]

One of the best songs of all time, never mind the 80s.

The Jam - Going Underground.
Released 1980, not much beat it for the rest of the decade IMHO.
I have it as my ring tone, it takes me ages to answer my mobile
