'down under' by Men at Work.

I didn't post a link so you'd know which song I was talking about. I know you all know it. Posted the link because you should never miss an opportunity to listen to it.

Me neither, although a few off the top of my head that I might have subsituted are:

Belalugosi's dead Bauhaus
Rock lobster B52's
Fairy tale of New York Pogues + Kirsty McCall
She sells sanctuary The Cult
Alice The Sisters of Mercy
Atomic Blondie
Pretty in Pink The Psychadelic furs
A new England Billy Bragg
Westworld Theater of Hate
Micky Spear of Destiny
Situation Yazoo
Googoo Muck The Cramps
Orange Crush REM

Plus just about anything from the brilliant Stone Roses self titled first album....my all time top album.

Sisters of Mercy -Now they were a band!

Liberator - Spear Of Destiny, should definately be in the top 10!

Double CD - The Mission, Cult, Cure etc.

It is in my collection Spugs! ;)

Only thing I find strange is 'Temple Of Love' is not on there!

More classic 80's but on the lighter electro side:

Tainted love - Soft Cell
Fade to Grey - Visage
Being Boiled - The Human League
Smalltown boy - Bronski beat
The Race - Yellow
Just can't get enough - Depeche mode
Pale Shelter - Tears for Fears
Temptation - New Order
Only you - Yazoo
Wonderful life - Black (I think the chorus is currently the backing track to a Emirates/Dubai Inc. ad)
