Anything XTC released in the 80's is very good. Actually, pretty much everything they have recorded in their career is outstanding. They've got everyone else beat when it comes to writing a good 'pop' song, IMO. They're very underrated though.... it's sad, actually.

 

[Mr. Josey Wales]

[Disgustipated]

one for you: Herbert Grönemeyer.. I don't even know if he was from the 80s.. oh well..

 

[Hügelgräber]

Herbert Grönemeyer was from the 80s and is still making music.
I used to listen to him, but I got rid of it long ago.

 

[Disgustipated]

yes i thought so.. I have a few songs on my comp: Bochum, Männer.. not sure what else..

 

[annt]

how about A-Ha: Take on Me
that has some twisted synths and falset singing.

My favourite 80's artists are Kate Bush and Cardiacs though.

 

[MetalManCPA]

I'm pretty sure these are from the 80's (songs I've always liked):

The Fixx - One Thing Leads To Another
Aldo Nova - Fantasy
Loverboy - Everybody's Working For The Weekend
38 Special - Fantasy Girl
Devo - Whip It
B52's - Love Shack
The Romantics - What I Like About You

There are so many more.
