Re: 80's Music
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)

Hadaway and shite, bonny lad. If your taste in music is like your taste in football teams and all that... 
Actually, I'll change A-ha Take On Me to a better song from the album - Blue Skies.

Re: 80's Music
Enola Gay by OMD was one of my favourites. Would Vienna by Ultravox have been made in the 80's too? My favourite bands back then were probably The Cure, U2 and Echo & the Bunneymen, the latter appearing at this year's Glastonbury Festival along with some old geezers by the name of Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen.

Re: 80's Music
There's much more in Ultravox's canon bseides Vienna. Great band, though. I don't get why people have such a downer on the '80s and the music that came out of the decade. I might be biased cos I grew up then, but I think it was a great decade. What really new stuff has appeared since then? It's all been derivative and recycled since, IMO.
