Count me in as a fellow DM fan, MP. Been a fan since 1981, seen them live and I've got every single track they've ever released.

In fact, I probably shouldn't admit this, but I've got a crazy amount of 80's music in my iTunes library.
Constructing a 80s station on Pandora as we speak.

Most definitely - I wasn't too deep into the New Wave groups but there were a few that I liked. I think I have more of an appreciation for it today than I did then.
Thank goodness for iTunes & MP3's - our favorite songs will always be one click away...

I have all the songs you posted so far on my iTunes Phil.

Like Rex, there aren't too many songs from that decade that I don't know of either.

Steve, we should compare playlists and share.

Definitely! We're due for another one too. We're actually due for the next big Bay Area meet.

BTW, I took a couple of quizzes from this site and got all the answers right. hahaha

Indeed we should, ECF.

I was just taking a look at the 3 CD 80's mix I did for a New Year's party a couple of years ago!

Some blasts from the past in there... Amongst many:

The Cure, Culture Club, Heaven 17, ABC, Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran, Pet Shop Boys, Cameo, Grandmaster Flash, Swing Out Sister, Soft Cell, The Thompson Twins, OMD, Yazz, Erasure, Rick Astley, Chaka Kahn, Bananarama, Dead Or Alive, Dexy's Midnight Runners, Visage, Japan, Howard Jones, Nik Kershaw, Orange Juice...

And others even more embarrassing than those in the list above.

Great days!

Duran Duran was probably my favorite pop band of the 80s...arguably THE BEST band of that decade.

Around '85 though I started listening to New Wave. It was a relatively new type of music mostly listened to by Vietnamese/Chinese and all the artists were from Europe. One of the most popular group was Modern Talking. Some other favorites include CC Catch, Bad Boys Blue and Joy.
Must be an asian thing cause I was listening to it too.

Damn, thought I could go to bed, but now with this list I feel the need to rummage further through my 80's stash.
