One of the songs that evokes memories is the song by Scandal Goodbye to You.

Queen - 'A Kind of Magic'. It is an AWESOME album. That pretty much explains it all.

These are the top songs from 80 – 89 taken from US charts, published by Billboard. And although it reflects an average just across the US many of the same songs were hits worldwide. America in the 80s really did take international pop artists to their heart.

Call Me - Blondie
Bette Davis Eyes - Kim Carnes
Physical - Olivia Newton-John
Every Breath You Take - Police
When Doves Cry - Prince
Careless Whisper - Wham! Featuring George Michael
That's What Friends Are For - Dionne & Friends
Walk Like An Egyptian - Bangles
Faith - George Michael
Look Away - Chicago

Although not in my era and particular genre of music, I would have to say anything by Depeche Mode. I just wanted to get up and dance anytime I heard anything by them even though I was brought up with sixties and very early seventies rock music.

"Dreaming" and "Some People" by Cliff Richard, also Cliff's live version of "Daddy's Home". I have to also mention "All I Ask Of You" by Cliff Richard with Sarah Brightman AND "Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel with Kate Bush.
