Thomas Dolby - 'She blinded me with science' and 'Hyperactive'
Flock of Seagulls - 'Photograph'
Berlin - 'Take my breath away'
Imagination - 'Just an Illusion'
Madonna - 'Like a Virgin' and 'Get into the Groove'
Anything by Nik Kershaw
Anything by Howard Jones
Anything by Shalimar

That's just for starters. I think I was traumatised by much of the 80s...

just goes to show, one man's cheese is another man's meat I've just been noodling Imagination's Just An Illusion, I'll have you know!

Strangely catchy little number, sort of hardcore village people, not seen this covered by any of the bands at my local yet....the ahh erm 'dancer' on the right has less sense of rhythm than me!
