Random 80's music thread

Just listening to some tunes and figured I'd try and inspire the younger members to discover some music and artists they may not have heard before. Not necessarily "classic" or "Top 40" stuff - just stuff I liked back then and still listen to an awful lot surprisingly enough now. Feel free to contribute.

Talk Talk - "Life's What You Make It"Echo & The Bunnymen - "The Killing Moon"
Go-Go's - "Our Lips Are Sealed" (Still surprisingly hot)
Pixies - "Here Comes Your Man" (Still touring)
Rick Springfield - "Jessie's Girl" (Hey, don't laugh - it's a great song!)

Frida- I Know There's Something Going On

I love Echo

The Cure - "Why Can't I Be You?" (For jmw )
The Clash - "Should I Stay Or Should I Go?" (For dhop )
Poison - "Nothin' But A Good Time" (For Crowkillers )
Pink Floyd - "Learning To Fly" (For MUGG )
Night Ranger - "(You Can Still) Rock In America" (For everyone else! )

Fishbone

Bad Brains

The Outfield-  Your Love

Not sure who remembers this one, but stumbled upon a few Donnie Iris tunes on YouTube the other night, totally forgot about that guy.  They sound pretty much the same live as on record.  They even have some clip of him from a recent show in 2009 and seems like he can still get it done.

Some other early 80's AOR type rock oriented things while going around YouTube.
