Soft Cell- Say Hello Wave Goodbye
ohhhhh. the clarinet version on the b-side is beautiful.
i'm sure i've heard that version somewhere but the original single mix is a classic.
it's clumsily shoe-horned into the 12" too. really clunky edits.
Damnit, I can't really do just 10 now...
Again, this is absolutely hard for me to decide, but 10 songs from the 1980s that I love, plus additional tracks I love.
Other songs... Mr Disco/New Order Atmosphere/Joy Division Love comes quickly/Pet Shop Boys William, it was really nothing/The Smiths Lack of Love/Charles B and Adonis Key/Yellow Magic Orchestra Der Telefon-Anruf/Kraftwerk
etc etc etc...there's too many good songs.

Got me thinking now.VIOLATOR came out in 90,but didn't ETS come out 89 about October-ish.
Hard to choose 10 tunes,even if I don't include New Order....unless I do multiple postings..

Not a New Order fan then?
It was released RIGHT at the end of 1979 but one of the ultimate songs of the 80s for me is Brass in Pocket by the Pretenders and, you know, might have been written about me
