Haha, not quite! :lol:
Think Depeche Mode, Blancmange, OMD, Hipsway, Kajagoogoo, Gary Numan, ABC, Heaven 17, Scritti Politti, Yazoo, Thomas Dolby, Human League, etc, etc, etc... :cool:
Dat's ma kinda thang!
Marco.
Sounds like the lineup from a classic Cheggers Goes Pop episode, minus Living In A Box of course. Got this on 7" and it's bloody good!

Cheggers Goes Pop - haha, love it! :lolsign:
Living in a Box... Yeah, you could defo add them to the list, along with The Buggles, Dead or Alive, Fiction Factory, Daryl Hall & John Oates, Ultravox, Blondie, Chaka Khan (I've must have worn out my 12" version of 'I Feel for You'!) - oh I could go on for about two pages :eyebrows:
Marco.
Good grief Marco, sounds like you're reading through my music collection!!
Though I'm glad to say that while I'm an 80's child, I've continued to move on, so there's also a massive amount of post-80s stuff too. Current recent fav, White Lies: To Lose My Life. Excellent!
Actually, am going to start a new thread somewhere inviting people to explain where their love of music and hi-fi first began.
I'll go first...

However, I've managed to (almost) build up my 80s collection again from second-hand buys from car boot sales, etc. Apart from actual albums, I also have around 300 7" and 12" singles, all from the 70s and 80s, which I use to make compilations on tape for the car :)
Although I love listening to all my post-80s music (and I have a very diverse and sizeable collection), I have to admit that nothing gives me as much pleasure as spinning my records from the 80s, simply because it evokes so many wonderful memories of the fun (and very mad) times I had as a teenager... :eyebrows:
Nothing else quite hits the spot in the same way!
