Memory pool

So what makes a song from this era important? I could argue that all songs are sublime compositions or that the videos are ground breaking, but it wouldn't be true. Closer to the truth would be: "because I think so".

Get your daily 80's fix and, if you like, share some of your memories with the rest of us.


See you!

P.S. In case you have any of the videos on the list in a decent quality, I
would appreciate if you get in touch with me.

OMD - Enola Gay

Year: 1980



I can't really decide what it is most heart breaking about this song. Is it the girl that dumped me at the time Orchestral Manouvers in the Dark (OMD) released the song? Is it the sad singing style of Humpreys and McCluskey? Or is it the grim background related to the name "Enola Gay" (the name of the bomber that dropped the first nuclear bomb over Hiroshima)?
I don't know. But what I do know is that I love this song.
