So, any of you out there in your late 30's or early 40's, feeling  the urge to hear some 80's music?  Are there some obscure songs you forgot you knew?

I listen to a little of everything;  like everyone else in the 80's, I listened to Madonna.  Duran Duran.  Prince.   But I also went outside the realm, listened to a few things some of you might not have heard.  Or, if you did, you might think...geez, I'd forgotten about that song!  So here's a list of a few of my favorite obscure 80's songs (I've tried to link to videos if found on youtube):

Wouldn't It Be Good by Nik Kershaw.  Geez this is still a great song.
Major Tom by Peter Schilling
Invisible by Alison Moyet
So You Ran by Orion the Hunter
10-9-8 by Face to Face
Ship of Fools by World Party
Don't Walk Away by Toni Childs
Cry by Godley & Creme (great video - innovative for its time)
Heart & Soul by T'Pau
Shame by The Motels
Noticeable One by Missing Persons
