Some people need to think about their definitions of pop.

Most of the 80s sound are still rather clear in my head but they don’t do give me lasting impression as the following two:

Released 1980 in ABBA final album.

Super Trouper

Also the last recording of the voice of angle which I found out recently.

Karen Carpenter. A sad day for me when she died.

Others that give me some good impressions are:

Bee Gees.
Fleetwood Mac.
Blondie.

They all have sad stories …

Last but not least, an absolute genius who opened up a whole new generation of listeners to his music with this.

And, of course, the poppiest of all.

Terry Wogan played this on radio 2 a couple of weeks ago. Was on my way to site, so stuck a note in my phone so I’d remember to google who it was when I was back in the office

Say what, now?
Can’t believe nobody’s posted up one of the most remarkable singles ever to reach number one!

New Order – World In Motion – wasn’t that the official Eng-er-land song for Italia ’90 ? complete with John Barnes rapping

And not quite 80’s(1990 though the band were formed in the 8o’s)

Proof that not even po-face prog rock bands were impervious to a touch of eighties electro pop flamboyance. Produced by Trevor Horn (natch! )

IIRC it was while JJ Jeczalik and Gary Langan were monkeying about with a Trevor’s Fairlight making a remix of ‘Owner of a Lonely Heart’ for Yes – that The Art of Noise was born

Can’t believe this hasn’t been posted. Just squeaks in, and seems to somewhat appropriate, though I can’t say why.
