Year: 1984
Sometimes a cool groove is all it takes to get attached to a song. This is indeed true for Dance Hall Days by Wang Chung. I never understood the meaning of the band name, but that didn't stop me from playing this song in an annoyingly high volume in my Sony Walkman Sports while i rode my skateboard (a SIMS wooden board with red semi-soft wheels) across town.

The Jam - Town Called Malice
Year: 1982
Even though I am not a dancer, this hit by The Jam always makes me wanna jump up and take on the dance floor. If I am not mistaking I believe I did at some parties during the 80's (against better judgement). The front man, Paul Weller, was fostered in the punk ideals but obviosly had a soft spot for catchy R&B tunes. A great mix of styles. Paul later on formed The Style Council, but that was not nearly as good a band.

The Cure - Close To Me
Year: 1985
With this ingenious video where the Cure is cramped up inside a closet, I took this band to my heart. Unfortunately some years later than they deserved. Some twenty years later Robert Smith still wears makeup but should have listened to his stylist who (hopefully) adviced against that.
