    April Skies. By a vast margin. It is a perfect pop song.

    True, but it's not really that 80s. More completely timeless...

    One of my favourite ever songs too.

    I can't listen to it without thinking about having to do the rap bit whilst we did a terrible cover at someone's wedding.  :( There's an excellent Sound on Sound article about the recording of it on their website, well worth a read.

    Ah - 80s as in style rather than time of release?

    Hmm, Say Hello, Wave Goodbye then, despite the pretty ropey vocals in places.

    I was absolutely shit scared that it was going to kick off between Reagan and the USSR and we were all going to have the flesh burnt off our bones one day very soon. I really was. This didn't help:

    Way too many to choose from in the 80's, but let's have some Jolly Human League, fantastic tune.



    I'll chuck in this one too, as it is cool and probably was overlooked here in the UK.
