Didn't really listen to the Blow Monkeys...
and certainly didn't listen to Clark Datchlers solo stuff!! Sorry Frank!
There really are so many tracks and 80's bands I'd love to mention in this thread....

They've rereleased the first NOW album for its 25th anniversary. Best thing is.....the missus is getting it for me for my birthday. Plus, I managed to get the GTA Vice City boxset, and its the best boxset ever (minus that latino music).
I mean, Judas Priest, Human League, John Waite, Michael Jackson (before the trials) and Luther Vandross are just the icing on the retro cake.

Obsession by Animotion, may not be a well known song or band but ever since they played it as part of the soundtrack for the 80s set Vice City, ive been hooked its a real nightclub classic
Some advertising campaigns are very long indeed...
