Just flicking through YouTube watching many of my favorite, bands / singles of the unforgetable 80's.

Only trouble is I now getting older, and my mind becoming slower, that I cannot now remember many of the fanastic bands / singles of the 80's, so the purpose of this thread is to ask you 'oldies' of my generation to list your favorite bands / singles of the unforgettable 80's.

Thanks.

human league - being boiled / the dignity of labour (their best two singles :P)

I quite like that one.

Here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5tLpzVZi-0) an odd one-hit wonder - I spent years waiting for it to pop it's head up as an mp3 - finally found it last year.

And here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYHZUlf_z6o) one I should never have liked, being into punk rock at the time.
