July 19Jul 19 Favourites:Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Two Tribes this has grown on me so much over the years since I first heard it, I always used to think it was second best to Relax but now I think it's much betterBronski Beat - Smalltown Boy one of the best synth tracks of the decade, also one of the first songs I can remember hearing that had such a prominent LBGTQ+ themeGrandmaster And Melle Mel - White Lines (Don't Do It) One of the first rap tracks I can remember hearing and lovingNik Kershaw - I Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me Another track that's really grown on me over the yearsCyndi Lauper - Time After Time Gorgeous, one of the best ballads of the 80sAlmost there but sadly no room:Alison Moyet - Love ResurrectionTina Turner - What's Love Got To Do With ItBruce Springsteen - Dancing In The DarkThe Smiths - Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now

Friday at 23:291 day Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Two TribesHoward Jones - Pearl In The ShellSpandau Ballet - Only When You LeaveBronski Beat - Smalltown BoyAlison Moyet - Love ResurrectionThe Bluebells - Young At HeartThe Pointer Sisters - Jump (For My Love)The Style Council - You're The Best Thing'Two Tribes' is pure dance-rock energy. One of Howard Jones best here, I prefer him to Nik Kershaw whom he sometimes gets confused for. Spandau Only When You Leave is one of their best! Smalltown Boy important track in terms of them and the production is good too. Alison Moyet - Love Resurrection always reminds me of Annie Lennox - Little Bird, both good songs! Bluebells Young At Heart is a nostalgic song from its revival in the 90s for me, but I usually prefer electronic songs in the 80s. Jump (For My Love) is good fun but a bit overplayed in media through its two versions. 'You're the Best Thing' is a lovely summery soul song from The Style Council. It reminds me of Lenny Kravitz - It Ain't Over Till Its Over. Edited 6 hours ago6 hr by TheSnake
