    Great list! It's so great that I have to wonder if we knew each other in the distant past. :lol: I just love "I Got You." Kudos to you for including the Waitresses and the wildy underrated Romeo Void on your list. :D I'd probably substitute "Add It Up" or "Country Death Song" for "Blister in the Sun," but with a list this good that would be splitting hairs. :)

    Did a few top ten songs that came to my mind with different themes ... went with the popular songs, the video songs, not the songs I like per se. Fun exercise with my morning coffee.

    Berlin - Metro
    Romeo Void - Never Say Never
    Soft Cell - Tainted Love
    Wall of Voodoo - Mexican Radio
    Waitresses - I Know What Boys Like

    For what it's worth, I'm watching "Grosse Pointe Blank" right now -- that's a soundtrack with terrific 80's music.

    Folks, there is a lot of good 80's music. Don't kid yourselves.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    My 1980's 'archeological dig' as a teenager in the mid-nineties involved The Church and Billy Bragg - both highly recommended listening IMHO :)

    There's also a sweet DCFC cover of this BB tune on Youtube:
