Year: 1979
By popular request, here is a song from the more or less iconized british group Joy Division. In my opinion this is their best song although Love Will Tear Us Apart may be more well-known. That song was forever ruined by Paul Young's awful remake of it. Once again, Joy Division is in focus due to the film about the singer, Ian Curtis, by Anton Corbijn.
Enjoy!

Alphaville - Forever Young
Year: 1984
A little reluctantly I must admit that Forever Young by Alphaville had an impact on me during 1984. Listening to it now it seems a little pompously naive to its structure, but it obviously found its way to many young girls and boys hearts. Who said that Germans can't make hit music..

Katrina & The Waves - Walking On Sunshine
Year: 1983
I had a conversation the other day with a net-friend about artists and songs that you like, but don't want anyone to know that you do. Walking On Sunshine by Katrina & The Waves is such a song. On its release I found it totally irresistable in its simple joyful and uptempo style. Today it feels a little worn out. Still, it's one of the unforgettable hits for me even if I prefer to keep it a secret.

Simple Minds - Don't You (Forget About Me)
Year: 1985
Do you remember this song? Of course you do. At least if you are over 25, and there is even a good chance that you might know it if you are under that age too. Simple Minds had a huge success with it in -85, much thanks to it being featured in the movie Breakfast Club. I remember that I thought that Simple Minds was a sell-out due to this, but at the same time I loved the song and all it represented for a teenager.
