...... altri consigli?

[DD]

La mitica "Big in Japan"degli Alphaville e "Save a prayer" dei Duran Duran

[hussita]

Tainted love dei Soft cell

[halexandra]

Innanzitutto complimenti, ottima scelta di brani.

Suggerirei 3 classici dei Frankie Goes To Hollywood:

Relax

Two Tribes

The Power of Love

[Jan Hus]

Iena ha inserito alcuni pezzi che sono stati grandi successi, ma anche altri che molto rappresentativi non erano. Dato che le sue scelte sono state personali, ne metterò alcune personali anch'io.

In certi casi si tratta di pezzi che non erano granché, ma quali, in retrospettiva, sono rimasto affezionato (vedi i Dire Straits o Shannon). In altri casi di capolavori nascosti, di gruppi famosi e no.

A me degli anni 80 è rimasta in mente soprattutto
Figlio della luna
dei MECANO.

L'ascoltavo la sera, con il vecchio stereo, mentre sentivo cantare le cicale della notte siciliana..... bei tempi, davvero!
