[i]Holiday in Cambodia- Dead Kennedys[/i]
'79 IIRC
for every Heart, Wham or Pet Shop Boys, there was a New Model Army, Sisters Of Mercy, The Cult. So not all bad 😉
But The Clash had moved on my then, IMO - their best stuff was up to & including London Calling, in '79
Ah, Holiday in Cambodia was released in 1980 John Drummer. I'm not a pedant, honest.
Totally agree with you about The Clash. They were great until the 80's, plus, the best album by a clear mile is 'Give em Enough Rope', even if the critics disagree.
😉
ah, well it must have been close 😉 it was a long time ago, my memory's not what it was...
Pet Shop Boys - Rent
Or
Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Two Tribes

Totally agree with Van Halen epitomising the 80s... everything that was crap about the 80s.
Kept Vienna off the #1 spot and my missus never lets me forget it...
hey that joe dolce is my karaoke song..!
Love this thread! I have always maintained that I hated 80s music, but it's actually quite diverse and pretty awesome in places.
New Order - Blue Monday
closely followed by Visage - Fade to Grey
This, shirley...
Reluctant - wasn't the 1978 release a German only thing. The release I refer to was the 1981 release as a B-side in the UK.
Jebus, Can't believe its got this far without mention, so given TJ's self imposed semi-exile, I'll throw this one down in his honour 😉

If you want a retort for that, it wasn't just Joe Dolce. John Lennon was #1 (with, uh, Imagine I think) for the first week it was at #2.
Yesssss....Propaganda! Brilliant.
And I had so nearly completely forgotten about the awful Joe Dolce....back for some more therapy.....
