RETRO 80’s HITS

December 23rd, 2007 · 8 Comments

Happy Sunday! Today I give you some of my favorite retro hits of the 80’s. Some people call it new wave (I guess I do at times as well), some call it 80’s alternative, so call it retro. Whatever you decide to call it, it was all good. I tried to pick a few of the more obscure greats from the decade. Hopefully, you’ll find something you like! Enjoy…2 days until Sandy Claws pays his annual visit to drop my lump of coal off!

  2. The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary
  3. Tears For Fears - Change
  4. Tones On Tail - Go!
  5. Ministry - Everyday Is Halloween
  6. Icicleworks - Whisper To A Scream
  7. P-Machinery - Propaganda
  8. Flesh For Lulu - I Go Crazy
  9. Stephen Duffy - Wednesday Jones

    She Sells Sanctuary is the Cult not Ministry.

    First of all, thank you for all of the *great* music that you provide. I’m especially partial to 80’s New Wave and have found some wonderful gems, thanks to you.

    Second, I know how hard it is to maintain a blogsite. I don’t even make as many entries as you, let alone link to as many fine selections as you. But, I need to point out a typo - It’s “The Cult” that does “She Sells Sanctuary,” not Ministry. Please feel free to drop by my site and play editor - lol. I’m sure I have plenty of mistakes there that need correction. :-)

    Merry Christmas and again, thanks so much for the music. :-)

    Thanks for the correction…I guess I’m guilty of blogging while…um…partaking in too much holiday cheer!:-)

    You’re not the only guilty party…I had to stop myself from writing a truly sappy, emotion-laden blog entry…but hey, there’s always New Year’s, right? :-)

    *If* you ever come across more Dubh Chapter, please let me know. I love “Touch n Go” so much and have not been able to find anything else other than what Mine For Life put up. Thank you for the link - I’ve had a link up to yours since I discovered your fabulous site. Cheers! :-)

    Please, let me know if you need any music I might have (and I have lots…) and may I upload some songs I think you might like for your site, somewhere? Thanx for Soft Cell & Icicle Works…Dammmm
