Post by knee tunes »

Yes of course I'm using peeps idea. :gomez:
If there already is a thread, then just merge and we'll all move on

1) Tainted love -- Soft cell
2) Dance hall days -- Wang Chung
3) C'mon Eileen
4) Safety Dance
5) Do you really want to hurt me -- Culture Club

P.S. Pearl Jam answered a Peeps question. Have they ever answered one of yours?

You had me until that number five. I’m out on that one. Take it out and replace it with Don’t You (Forget About Me) by Simple Minds. Or Whip It by Devo.

Not a pop song but the actual objectively best song of the 1980's is Time by Tom Waits.
