… Thought it might be fun to make your own 80's playlist.

overlooked detail of the topic start -
I keep Geronimo’s Cadillac just for fun and do not choose any of the other songs from the band.

One of my favorite 80s bands. Raw, rough, ragged, glorious.

+ latest news:

(2025/06/20) After restoring the music video for "The Great Commandment" using the original film material and premiering it digitally for the first time in May as the official version, we’re now taking things one step further with a song that means so much to Camouflage.
Starting now, both the original 1987 single and the remix single are officially available on all major streaming platforms. We're super excited about the digital release — especially since it got us to the top of the US Billboard Dance Charts not just once, but twice. Big shoutout to the remix versions that helped make it happen.
We warmly invite you to rediscover "The Great Commandment" in its many different versions — some of which were previously very hard to find.
Enjoy exploring all the versions of The Great Commandment!

I remember Teenage Fan Club from the 90s - the only name in the list. I will check out Japan. I was attracted by the band name at first and landed here: *Post-Punk- and Synth-Pop-Band* !

1987
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6rD7ytG7Y9Y
*Walk Like an Egyptian* fun cover & chaos video
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-VrwHWEUC7A expanded (audio only/4:38)

Japan led to…

Not a pure 80s list but easy access to a lot.

The song list of Miami Vice (1984-1989) isn’t pure but one place with a lot of 80’s music.

incl. 4x INXS

Watching the official music videos via yt looks like the alternative choice.

I'm not quite as drawn to the melodramatic New Romance bands like Japan as I used to be, but the will always be times when some soft spot in me is in the mood for that music. Here's one of my favorites from Japan's Tin Drum LP (I totally love Mick Karn's bass sound on this!):
