OK, all of you 80s music junkies, I'm digging deep for obscure one-hit (or often NO-hit) wonders from my favorite decade. This is the music you might've heard if you were to go to a US goth club in the 80s, it's new wave dance night & the DJ refuses to play anything on the charts. Well, NOT EVERYTHING here is goth or even new wave or dance music, but most are a variation of this sound. Don't be scared that you don't recognize these artists - it just means that you have a plethora of great discoveries ahead of you.
INSTRUCTIONS: Rank 'em down from 1 to 50 & then message me the list...you've done this a 100x, so you know the drill
DEADLINE: I'm thinking I'll leave this open for now, probably sometime in January early February. That'll give everyone plenty of time to listen to the list a few times.
SONGS: Fire To Ice - Associates Flaming Desire - Bill Nelson Don't Tell Me - Blancmange UFO - Caution American Soviets - CCCP Will You Be There? - Celebrate The Nun Shack Up - Certain Ratio Hot Doggie - Colourbox Clear - Cybotron Alone Again Or - Damned * Say It Again - Danse Society Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight - Dominatrix * Land Of Hunger - Earons AEIOU Sometimes Y - Ebn-Ozn Bring Me Edelweiss - Edelweiss Collapsing New People - Fad Gadget Fanatic - Felony No Stars - Figures On A Beach Din Daa Daa - George Kranz Al-Naafyish - Hashim * Baby Judy - Hawaiian Pups Shiny Shiny - Haysi Fantayzee Burning Car - John Foxx Fire - Lizzy Mercier Descloux Don Quichotte - Magazine 60 New York - Micro Chip League Computer Games - Mi-Sex 88 Lines About 44 Women - Nails White Coats - New Model Army Warm Leatherette - Normal Lawnchairs - Our Daughters Wedding Like Dust - Passion Puppets Papa's Got A Brand New Pig Bag - Pig Bag Dr Mabuse - Propaganda Broken Heart - Red Flag Escalator Of Life - Robert Hazard Cowpunk - Scott Goddard Sex Beat - Sex Beat Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - Specimen Synthicide - SSQ Moskow Diskow - Telex Wunderbar - Tenpole Tudor * Swear - Tim Scott Kiss Me - Tin Tin (Stephen Duffy) I Eat Cannibals - Toto Coelo Nellie The Elephant - Toy Dolls Living On Video - Trans-X Heaven - Until December Cccan't You See? - Vicious Pink * Daddy's Coming Home - Walk The Moon

I'm obviously interested, but my submission will probably come closer to the deadline than usual. No offense, but I want to wait and make sure you actually follow through on hosting this ;)

If you grew up with KROQ(back when KROQ was cool) then the list should pull you in. You might know my fav from this list if you been following my 80's posts since I first joined. I say I only not know a handful of these songs. Count me in for 80's support.

Count me in. That Colourbox song was in the Lonely is an Eyesore compilation from the 4AD label. It was my introduction to Clan of Xymox, This Mortal Coil and so many others.

we played it on my college radio station...could NOT find a CD of it for years...finally a boyfriend bought the import CD-single for me as a birthday present in '98 (yes kids, there was a time BEFORE spotify & even BEFORE napster where you actually had to go to a brick & mortar record store to buy music) ...btw, that "Starship Edelweiss" was a first time listen...LOL, i was smiling the whole way thru the video

Those enjoying this list of songs might want to check out this youtube page on my playlists. Most of these were played on KROQ (back when KROQ was cool)

This "Din Daa Daa" song sounds as if it served as an inspiration for Man's Not Hot

Alright I’ll try to do this but more than 90 percent of these would probably be first listens.
