Who's the guy at the top Mantas?

That Stemik, would be Billy Ray Cyrus.

Technically not an Eighties man but a great exponent of the eighties mullet just the same.

"don't tell my heart. My achy breaky heart. I just don't think he'd understand".

It doesn't count Tsonda, they were 90's

Musical Youth, one of the few people to sign a worse recording contract than Bros! One of them got banged up for nicking cars soon after their demise.

"Pass the Dutchie" is actually a cover version of "Pass the Koochie". A koochie is a bowl for smoking di 'erb. I think the original is by Culture, but can't be bothered to check.

Since commercial shite like Kylie gets right on my tits, here are some fine 80s sounds from down under.

Cult band among fans of Pebbles/Nuggets 60s garage


This one is incredible live. RIP JC.


A nice bit of strummy harmonies + singalong chorus


And of course these. The golden age was the 70s with the scotsman, but this is a fine tribute. One more verse and it would be perfect.

Great song.
Fab vid.



One of my fave songs from the 80s, not particularly fab vid.

cool then and still cool now

Simple minds


Wet Wet Wet


Deacon Blue

Good to see this picking up a bit. I was thinking of posting "I Travel" from the Minds' Can phase, but it wasn't really a hit.

More Scots here, and no, not the bespectacled ones.

Some classic 80s posturing from Billy

Edwin funks it up and quotes the Buzzcocks

This intense lady and the wannabe Duke of Northumberland.

Annie Lennox....what a stunner!!

Can't see it but... not!

ABC! Classic 80's song, and perhaps a 'classic' 80's vid too!

(Do you think Marc Almond might be gay?)

I think he shagged everyone he could get his hands on, male or female! Soft Cell were supposedly the first British band to heavily use ecstacy. It was years before the Happy Mondays etc.

The 12" of that one ends with him shouting "I don't care!" again and again. Its great!

This is about as 80s as it gets.

Shakey! (He's playing Glastonbury this year, you know)

hnads up all those who have not snogged to this?

Not a hand in sight.

Not their best one but

lovin the rover vander plas!!!
I thought those cars were cool as f#@k!!

The Thompson Twins



But more seriously,



and this quirky one

How about some Kajagoogoo and Limahl
