Non stop electric cabaret is the dogs. Remember Sex Dwarf?

Saw them in Dunstable (!) 1984, I think.
And speaking of 1984 - SexCrime by Eurythmics

Got that on 12" along with nearly every other song mentioned so far.

Let's get a bit more funky now.

No, as I said in the OP it was just that Ms RT found a Thompson Twins cassette (cassette, for christ's sake!) in her parents' loft yesterday. It seems to have struck a chord among the rest of the forum.

- at least those of us in the late 30s to mid 40s age range...

Eh?

Forget the right on stuff, let's stick to the electro pop! That's what we really remember about the 80s!

And who can forget Radio Ga Ga

*Fervently tries not to think about T'Pau*

 

[mondobongo]

There was some really good stuff pre 1980 as well and we did have the odd rock band as well

RIP Stuart.

Did I ever tell you about me and Carol D?

 

[Dave5N]

Christ on a bike! And I thought The Clash eighties stuff was crap!

I lived it, my formative years!

How come we didn't realise it was all so inutterably bad! Were we all on drugs or something?*















* Er, yes, actually.
