Dad Educates Daughter

I love the music of the 80s but have to say there were a lot of underrated bands in the Noughties like Athlete, Starsailor, Embrace, Toploader, Klaxons, The Coral, Hard-Fi, The Twang all overlooked for Razorlight, Snow Patrol, Coldplay, Keane, Scissor Sisters etc

@sdedition Got the A-ha Analogue deluxe pre-ordered so hopefully it will arrive soon

#OutThisWeek Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris; a-ha; Beastie Boys; and Motörhead > bit.ly/4clAI9A

@blitzed80smag1 A-ha's 1990 cover of the Everly Brothers 1962 hit Crying In The Rain

@blitzed80smag1 Left To My Own Devices West End Girls Being Boring

@80slegends when is the 2nd Round or have I missed it?

@Hoainguyen888 @80slegends I've always said this song defined the Video age and MTV however it was The Sun Always Shines On TV along with Relax that for me defined the 80s Synth-pop from Electro (OMD, Human League, Depeche Mode etc) to Pop (Wham! Culture Club, Spandau Ballet, Adam & the Ants etc)

1985. A song that broke boundaries and defined the decade: Take On Me. Con su inconfundible riff de sintetizador y la voz aguda de Morten Harket, a-ha llevó el synth-pop noruego al mundo entero.

@Majic574 @blitzed80smag1 Mad World was on their debut album 'The Hurting' not 'Songs From The Big Chair' which was Everybody Wants To Rule The World & Shout

Some classic albums of 1985. Which album stands out for you? 🔥🖤

@blitzed80smag1 Has to be Tears For Fears Songs From The Big Chair but need to mention A-ha's debut album Hunting High and Low which was also released in this year

@80slegends As Jealous Guy is a cover, John Lennon album track, so for me it has to be Eternal Flame

@blitzed80smag1 Take On Me

@80slegends Smalltown Boy was such a breakthrough song as not only by one of the few openly gay bands but also a song about a gay boy who was bullied

@80slegends Voted tactically as I guessed correctly that Like A Virgin would run away with this so it's Talking Heads and Burning Down The House which didn't even make the charts and is sometimes wrongly thought of as being unreleased in the UK

World Cup Of 80s Best Song #WCO80s Group 8

@80slegends My favourite band are A-ha so no contest for me with their only #1 although I'm hoping Red Box also squeeze through as love Lean On Me from one of the 80s underrated duo's

@80slegends I've gone with Go West over PSB but am surprised The Cars are doing so well although it is a great song

World Cup Of 80s Best Song #WCO80s Group 6

@80slegends Tears For Fears such a great song which most know from this era

World Cup Of 80s Best Song #WCO80s Group 5

@80slegends Road To Nowhere all day long for me

World Cup Of 80s Best Song #WCO80s Group 4

@80slegends I didn't read all the songs just saw Land Of Make Believe and Walk Like An Egyptian so went the later and then when saw song leading which would have been my choice however top 2 go through so a lucky tactical vote lol

World Cup Of 80s Best Song #WCO80s Group 3

@80slegends Has to be T'Pau over Abba for me

World Cup Of 80s Best Song #WCO80s Group 2

@80slegends Do You Really Want To Hurt Me introduced us to Boy George & CC while The Look Of Love Is ABCs biggest hit but for me it's In A Big Country which wasn't even a Top 10 hit at the time but I'm sure it would have fared better if released after Chance & Wonderland
