Damn, I came in here with the sole thought to post Safety Dance. :(

The rest of the music in this thread will cheer me up though. It'll all be okay.

[Shoden]

I live in an area that was significant to the 80s New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement.
Xjep0NM7Ga8 Oh the decline of the quality of guitar oriented music since.
80s was a time when it was alright to be cheesy too!

The song that introduced me to the great Ms. Branigan all those years ago... Thank you GTA Vice City.

The lack of The Human League is most troubling.

And what about some Frankie, you plebs?

"Don't You Want Me" and "Relax" are pretty much the anthems of the 80s pop scene for me. I'd probably throw Madonna's "Material Girl" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbJa10fzNOM) in there too.

And we can't forget that the great John Lennon had a few 80s hits, even after his tragic demise. ._.

Now I till violate the original intent of this thread to support a tragically mostly forgotten singer.

And then there's Blondie! My absolute favorite song of theirs came out in '80.

I could really go on forever and that's only using pop songs. The 80s had some of the best metal ever too.
