The Cure, a band who I’m sure will pop up here again at some point, released tonnes of classics. Most people know all the big tunes: Close To Me, Lovecats, Boys Don’t Cry etc. but this is one that might have escaped several of you. Released as a single all the way back in 1982 this is a lovely slice of 80s electronic pop music…

Cheese time.
Junior, proving that you don’t have to look cool to feature heavily in your own video, weighed in with this party classic in 1982. I have no idea if he ever did anything else but I certainly don’t remember hearing any other tunes by him. Mind you, I was 4 at the time so it’s possible that the follow up singles passed me by.
He does win back cool points by sitting in a pink bath tub and, trust me, this tune rocks the party

Absolute banger from 80s sort Kim Wilde. Kids In America was probably her biggest hit over here but many of you should recognise this one from back in the day as well. Perfect 80s pop crap to cheese it up to

I’m guessing most people know the name Berlin from the Top Gun pap “Take My Breath Away”. I never knew they actually did a load of decent 80s electropop stuff. This is top of my 80s wants list - I managed to get a copy sent over from Spain a while back that turned up covered in scratches. Not fair. Someone sort me out, yeah?

I’m going to completely forget that I said I’d never post rock & metal up here from now on cos I love it too much and you should too.
80s metal at its absolute finest here with W.A.S.P., an underrated band from that time who probably now get dismissed due to their glam metal image. Their tunes were actually really, really good with a number of classic singles and great albums. Their videos were packed with lots of bikes and men in stupid clothes playing silly shaped instruments…awesome!
