 Fansof_heo:

I love these songs! :D

My iTunes library is populated by these and many other 45s, 33s, tapes and CDs I bought over the years. There are many more in my 80s playlists, but to list all the songs and/or albums I still listen to with regularity would take far too long. 

If I have to drive for longer than 2 hours with passengers, I have "Gold" by Spandau Ballet and ABC's "The Lexicon of Love" albums on shuffle & repeat. Unfortunately, my younger sister for whom I often chauffeured this is now also her habit despite having very different taste in music (heavy metal fan).

I admit I liked Madonna back in the 80s and attended a concert. My mother was a fan of Queen. As for the rest on your list, I could take them or leave them.

Speaking of concerts, I once undertook a 14-hour (each way) bus journey to see Depeche Mode live. It was worth it!!!!!

Oh, 80's music is so great :D. Here are some songs that I love:

• Faith - George Michael (starting with your fave :D)
• Just Like Heaven - The Cure
• Drive - The Cars
• True - Spandau Ballet
• Purple Rain - Prince
• So In Love - Orchestal Manouvers in the Dark
• If You Leave - OMD again 
• Wishing Well - Terence Trent D'Arby
• Head over heels - Tears for fears
• Head over heels - The Go Go's
• She drives me crazy - Fine Young Cannibals
• Cool it now - New edition
• Bette Davis Eyes - Kim Carnes
• Fast Car - Tracy Chapman
• Luca - Suzanne Vega
• More than this - Roxy Music
• It's my life - Talk talk
• Most of the 80s singles released by Queen (huge fan), Michael Jackson and Madonna haha.

I better stop, there's too many more, including some of Buannaiche picks, +1 Blue Monday, +1 West End Girls, +1 Don't you Forget about me, +1 Mad Word, +1 Beds are burning.

Yay :D. I think 80s pop music is so easy to like, so dynamic and melodic. I’ve never taken the time to check out the full discographies of most of the artists I listed, but I have a deep love for their hit singles. Maybe one day, but whenever I have free time I’d probably watch a drama instead haha.

OMGs!!!!
