The great Friday night disco cheese smackdown

[Chuffy]

Right then...

Inspired by Flying Monkey's choice of this peerless 80's classic I think we need an evening of YouTubing for forgotten 80's electronic pop.

My first offering is this fine specimen which came from an album with one of the greatest titles in the history of history.

Your turn...

OK - here we go.
Taste the retro gaming goodness

 

[Chuffy]

Dear god, it's like being back in the arcade on Bournemouth pier with a pocket of ten pees.


Fuzzbox. Not electro, but oh yeah...

'The Race' by Yello

Two from Thomas Dolby, though the 2nd ain't too electronic but it happens to be a favourite of mine.

Got the album.

The moon, beautiful. The sun, even more beautiful. Oh yeah...

An 80s song, but played live in 2004...
Art of Noise
This reminds me of my first car.

Now, all the critics thought that the Eurythmics really messed up 1984 with their soundtrack, but who wouldn't have wanted to commit a sexcrime with Anni Lennox back then...?

No thanks, you gonad-driven jizz-whore.

Fine album though, shame my copy is so badly scratched.

Blimey, I've had funny turn... They were lovely weren't they? Terrible song though...

How about their male equivalents in the terrible hair stakes: I give you Flock of Seagulls - great song, but certainly the worst hair ever!

Windpower by Mr Dolby and Rock It with the freaky robots.
Great music but that video has some 'orrible compression artefacts.

They were indeed lovely and so was the song.

I could be happy reading this thread.

You want freaky? Will these guys do?

The extremely classily-named Classix Nouveaux! Is it a dream? I certainly ****ing hope so!
