80's bands

Post by Nob3y »

Was thinking of trying to collect some of the bands I used to hear on the radio and see on top of the pops during the 80's while I was at school.
Yes there are some obvious ones but theres some songs I Like but have forgotten who did them.
I heard China Crisis on the radio the other day and thought yes I remember that track.
Any helpers here?
Can be all types of music not just pop.

Wishful Thinking? Black Man Ray?

Japan, Echo & The Bunnymen, Psychedelic Furs, Simple Minds, Big Country, Style Council.


Best thing to do is go to Amazon, search on '80s' or 'Electropop' etc and jog your memory that way
