Don’t need no credit card to ride this train

Back To The Future was one of my favourite movies from the 80′s. This song was featured in the movie.

New Kids On The Block

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The right stuff

The Right Stuff – New Kids On The Block

Ok, you have my permission to freak out, because I just heard these guys are reforming. No kidding. You can sign up for exclusive info on their return at their website. Donnie was my favourite new kid. Jordan was just too pretty, Joey was too young and I don’t remember the names of the other two. ;) Such was the impact they made on my teenage brain.

Morten Harket

I reached inside myself today
Thinking there’s got to be some way
To keep my troubles distant

The Sun Always Shines On TV – a-ha

How can I even begin to speak about a-ha and Morten Harket? Long time readers of the blog will know I am a HUGE Morten fan. Rather than put the expected Take On Me video here, which most people think of when they think of a-ha in the 80′s, I have put The Sun Always Shines On TV instead.
a-ha
A-ha went on to have a successful career in Norway after the rest of the world mostly forgot they existed. If you were a fan of the band it is likely you would enjoy the music of theirs that you never had a chance to hear. Have a look around on you tube, you’ll find some of their newer music. They still exist as a band today and they have a website. I also found this lovely tribute to them via their website which is in Norwegian as well as English.

The Cure

Just try to see in the dark
Just try to make it work

Close To Me – The Cure

The Cure is one of my favourite music groups and this song is one I remember well from the 80′s – the film clip got a lot of airplay.
