Hits of the 1980's

Pity we couldnt include the late 70's ( Eton Rifles,Down in the Tube Station,David Watts etc)

I'm now 37, so the 80s were definitely "my" decade. Where to start? So many to choose from, but here goes ...

Tears for Fears: Shout, Everybody Wants to Rule the World
The Cure: Why Can't I Be You?
Crowded House: Don't Dream It's Over
Depeche Mode: Just Can't Get Enough
Duran Duran: Save a Prayer, Hungry Like the Wolf, Notorious
Simple Minds: Don't You Forget About Me
U2: I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, Pride
Bon Jovi: Livin' on a Prayer
Tom Petty: Runnin' Down a Dream
Midnight Oil: Beds Are Burning

Absolute Radio play three hours of 80s classics on Friday nights, which is always worth a listen.
