You fellow 80's fans might want to check out new UK artist "La Roux". It's a duo highly influenced by early Depeche Mode (Vince Clarke era). Look on youtube for "In for the kill", "bullet proof (or maybe it's bulletproof?)". If you're a 99% mp3 listener (rather than listening to the radio) they might have not hit your radar yet. Even their videos are 80's style.

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

If you dig music (Dance music) then you must know of the Winter Music Conference in South Beach - I used to go every year for a few years back in mid-late 90's...

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.

still luv all their old stuff!! and new wave really had a movement in ny, it was the best of times, and a good alternative to the glam-rock bands!!!! The Cure was awesome, and yes, U2 was new wave back then!!!!!

A guilty pleasure indeed! Definitely a band (and some hairstyles) that epitomized the 80's!
