One of Kiss' most underrated songs, and definitely my favourite of there's:

 

This was apparently the other A side to 'So Macho', 'Cruising' is far superior imo and much less cheesy sounding. Should definitely have been the main one promoted and not So Macho from that double A side imo.

 

Also in the Hi-NRG genre, this great tune, made #29 in 1986, but should have done better in the charts!

Messages is brilliant! :music:

 

Here's an amazing indie tune I voted for in the Now That's What Buzzjack Calls Music 1-10.

 

 

This may have been their biggest hit, but Kajagoogoo as a whole seem to have been forgotten now.

Blue Zoo - Cry Boy Cry

Fairly typical brit funk of the time, similar to Imagination. By the time they had a come back the scene had changed a lot. Loved Too Shy on totp on bbc4, got to no1!

Also a bit like Spandau's Chant no 1 (I Don't Need This Pressure On) in style.

 

'Too Shy' is defined as new wave by wikipedia but quite a few early 80s new wave songs do seem to have funk influences.

Almost everything OMD have ever recorded is brilliant :wub:

 

Furniture also recorded some wonderful songs but never got the success they deserved.

So true OMD, and you must be out of your brill-i-ant mind...yes I liked that one too. :lol:

I recently discovered this fab #23 hit from 1982. Great dancey electronic bop which sounds amazing for its time.

 

 

'Today' (#14, 1982), another high energy tune from them is also very good.

The genre basically covers everything post the Sex Pistols - think totp said that Boomtown Rats first single in 1977 was he first ever New Wave single playlisted by radio 1?!

Speaking of Yazoo....
