Im listening to "Bros - When will I e famous" right now, and that song is great imho.....Cheesy 80s music, but what the hell, I think the 80s kinda ruled. Cuz there was a lot of danceable synthpop and stuff.
Anyway, name some of your favourite 80s HITS

I love Michael Jackson's classic 80s hits, I gotta admit.
The Smiths are my favorite 80's band... and I guess Metallica put out their best shit during that decade, but I don't consider them 80's for some reason.. didn't really DOMINATE the airwaves till the really early 90's.
But my fave all time 80's track... Nothing Compares 2 U!

well for some not so cheesy 80's music
I just picked up the reissue of 7Songs and Urban Gamelan by 23 Skidoo..excellent stuff..some of the beats, effects, textures, metallic clicks etc and stuff..could fit right into the 90's IDM...
it's a shame they are only known for Chemical Brothers pillaging their high pictched bass riffs :(

well I have picked up two albums.. 7 SONGS is from 1982..it's gotta a funky reverbed hyper jazz sound..(some of John Zorn and GOD comes to mind)..but it's also got some really haunting early industrial (i.e Throbbing Gristle, Coil sounding and not NIN Ministry sounding) soundscapes with tape manipulation etc
URBAM GAMELAN is 1984..the first half has the same live heavy jazzy funk sound but the second half is amazing..gamelan.and ...fareastern inspired percussion pieces...with periodic chanting etc...pretty astounding as it is all live..the closest comaparison..is the hyperkinetic bits in the Akira Soundtrack....
but throughout the goingon is pretty spooky and haunting some of the studio wizardry..(effects application etc) sounds very fresh and current...unless there was remixing going on that I am not aware of..both of these are reissues..released in 2001..
biggest bonus for me..was the ultracool Nevile Brody..covers..tasty stuff..

I LOVE 80's music... sure it's cheesey and stuff, but it's good cheese as Ed the Sock would say... it's good fun to listen to, full of nostalgia, and just good pop songs (not always though, there's quite a bit of HORRIBLE 80's music out there)... Some of my favorites are:
Tears for Fears Toto U2 The Police Peter Gabriel and LOTS AND LOTS of other songs... I really need one of those big 80's compilation boxed set thingies... :)
