It's not an 80s tune, but it reminds me of the early 80s and I love it. Heard it this morning in the supermarket.

 

:musicnote: ...I came back to let you know

Got a thing for you and I can't let go... :musicnote:

Here's a Canadian singer I just remembered, Jane Child. Crazy hairdo but really good player, too bad she was a one hit wonder.

Okay if we are going to include 80's fusion here's a good one, Jean Luc-Ponty. I originally heard this on a show called Nightflight, an early competitor to MTV. I already liked him but this video is so cool and matches the music...

Great guitarist, RIP. He played on a number of Jean Luc's albums :rose:

I don't recall seeing this one (could have just missed it) but this is one of those tracks that perfectly captures the style of the '80s. Great track!

Maybe the most misinterpreted song in history. I admit I'm guilty. When I first heard this I thought, "Oh, a nice song about true devotion" not guessing it was about a creepy, obsessive stalker. In hindsight, and in light of the current era, it seems rather obvious.

I saw someone posted "Blinded by Science" so I thought of these. Thomas had many fantastic tracks from those first two albums.

Same goes for The One I Love. Stipe called it the ugliest song he’s written.

 

 

This song is relevant AF.

Remember these 2 clowns? I just saw them on tv. They played this song at least 20 times on How I Met Your Mother.
