June 1Jun 1 Billy Joel - Uptown GirlCulture Club - Karma ChameleonThe Cure - The LovecatsMen Without Hats - The Safety DancePublic Image Ltd - This Is Not A Love Song4 classics and a discovery from Public Image Ltd this week. Next best songs I already knew were Howard Jones, Paul McCartney/Michael Jackson and Siouxsie And The Banshees and next best discoveries were King Kurt and The Alarm. I playlisted more songs overall than I thought this week (22) - didn't feel like that strong of a week but looking back over the list there is actually plenty of good stuff there.

June 6Jun 6 Herbie Hancock - AutodriveDepeche Mode - Love In Itself 2Public Image Ltd - This Is Not A Love SongTracey Ullman - They Don't KnowMen Without Hats - The Safety Dance___________The Alarm - 68 GunsThe Rocksteady Crew - (Hey You) The Rocksteady CrewThe Cure - The Love CatsHoward Jones - New Song'Autodrive' is basically rather like a piano house song 3 years ahead of time, even more than Rockit! Depeche Love In Itself 2 also has some interesting production.I like the title and video for the Public Image Ltd song. I should dislike Tracey Ullman for her sentimental 60s bubblegum retro style when there was such innovative new music in the early 80s but They Don't Know is too strong a song as Kirsty MacColl wrote it. The Safety Dance has a very monotone vocal but it goes with the cynical theme of the lyrics and the medieval baroque style production and video are good.The Alarm song sounds a bit like a 90s Britpop band like the Boo Radleys. The Rocksteady Crew have a good early break-dancing song. 'The Lovecats' with one of the most iconic basslines. The Howard Jones song is more poppy than previous 80s synthpop songs, and not as innovative as it tries to portray but still quite good. Edited June 14Jun 14 by TheSnake

June 13Jun 13 Author Just a heads up that the session will start at the slightly earlier time of 3.45pm tomorrow, as there are a few more songs than usual to take us to the end of 1983.I'll also close the poll then, so anyone yet to vote has 24 hours to do so and perhaps break the current tie!
