Spotify 80S Playlist - Suggestions Required

[sp1814]

I'm putting together a playlist of 80s tracks for a forthcoming holiday, and so far, I've added loads of really obvious music. Now I need inspiration for tracks I may have forgotten.

By 'obvious', I mean I already have:

Duran Duran
Culture Club
Soft Cell
Bananarama
Spandau Ballet
Adam and the Ants
Depeche Mode
ABC
Human League
Tears For Fears
Nik Kershaw
Japan
A-Ha
Gary Numan
The Smiths
Madness
New Order
Boomtown Rats
The Police
Visage

Any suggestions as to what other artists I may have missed.

I'm not looking for any heavy metal or rock...just pop.

Ohhh...just remembered Sade.

[sp1814]

Errr...just realised...I'd forgotten Kate Bush!

And the flipping Pet Shop Boys.

Good grief.

Sipowicz...sorry, I should've explained - the playlist is based on great songs from the 80s, rather than our collective first crushes (and mine has already been catered for with Adam Ant).

Great hair.

Appalling music.

In fairness, seeing the rest of your list I thought 'appauling' was acceptable ;-p

Everyone - a million thanks for your contributions...I've now got 102 tracks on my playlist (up from 79 earlier this evening), and thanks to you, I've added artists I would never have remembered.

I want you all to go into your kitchens and fashion yourselves silver stars from Bacofoil.

I mean it.

Do it.

[sp1814]

Thanks gingejbee - wasn't a bit fan of those acts.
