Gotta say that while there are some good choices there there are also a few real clunkers… Band Aid??? Come one I’d nearly rather have Joe Dolce!!

Anywho now that I’m done dissing the Hog…

1) Beat It – Jacko (or more precisly Eddie Van Halen’s guiter solo!)

2) Tainted Love – Soft Cell

3) Are Friends Electric – Tubeway Army (ok I know not really chronologically 80s but musically has to be there!)

4) Video Killed The Radio Star – Buggles (no arguements on this one as it was the 1st video played on MTV in 1981)

5) Vienna – Ultravox

6) New Religion – New Order

7) Heaven and Hell – Black Sabbath

8) Crazy Train – Blizzard of Ozz

9) Weiss Heim – Rainbow

10) Spirit of Radio – Rush

ask me again next week and half of these will have probably been changed

To be honest I’d probably be best just taking the “RIO” album instead. Lol

OMG. I found this to be quite a tough one, especially as you have got some of the ones that i would have chosen in the first place. So i”ve pinched a couple back. Lol
Here goes.

1. Rio – Duran Duran, simply because it seems appropriate for white beaches and blue seas.

2. Thriller – Michael Jackson, its my all time favourite dance track

3. Red Red Wine – UB40, except it will probably be the rum that goes to my head.

4. Spirit in the sky – Dr and the Medics, it reminds me of xmas and new year parties.

5. Save a prayer – Duran Duran, just because.

6 . The Tide is High – Blondie. i”d probably be sat in a palm tree

7. Tainted Love – Soft Cell, yes cos i know all the words too

8. Here I go again – Whitesnake, one that i could sing along to at the top of my voice

9 Isla Bonita – Madonna, make me feel as if im really on holiday

10. Frankie – Sister Sledge, feel good song

Goodness theres loads more that i could have picked, but i dont think any of these ones would drive me too insane.
