I can't remember hearing any of the songs that have been listed so far (even though the 80s were my high school/college years, when I was relatively aware of what was on both mainstream and college radio).

So maybe the following are less forgotten. But I never see them mentioned or showing up on compilations:

The Members - "Working Girl"
Torch Song - "Don't Look Now"

(But i can't remember hearing any of the songs

Crap, accidentally hit "send" too soon

The last bit of my post is redundant obviously, plus I was going to note that Wm Orbit took Torch Song in a very different (ambient) direction after the early track I've listed.

mania has always been one of my favorite albums from the 80's but it's near impossible to find anyone that has ever even heard of the lucy show. right before it closed i was able to buy the lp and the new message 12" from what was a very weird tower records outlet store near my work. they had the strangest collection of unwanted music at this place.

speaking of the lucy show. i like "undone " more than "mania" although,what do i know as amg only gave it 1 and a half stars :P

i no longer have a copy of undone but i remember not being a very big fan of it. it would be nice to revisit it though.

Jacob I did some research into the Wilkinson thing (i.e. googled it) - it seems to have been on a short lived record label set up by Chas Chandler (ex-Animals I think) and some pub rock geezers, Wilkinson was their only hit. No info whatsoever on her or why the record sounds like it does.

Lotus Eaters - 'First picture of you'

― Bidfurd, Friday, 20 February 2004 13:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh God, this is very odd - I've been singing some of these songs all week - in particular "Questionaire" by Chas Jankel, seem to remember the video was always on "Saturday Superstore", very much in the style of "Accidents will happen" if I remember correctly. And someone mentioned the first two Freur singles (when most only noticed the first one).

On a side note, does anyone remember a single issued in 1983 which was sung by a girl whose chorus was just her shouting "What a wally!"? Got a lot of play on Radio Luxembourg at the time, but I never saw a copy or heard of it since.

I wonder if that Australian 12" of "Electric Blue" is the same 12" that I have. Hope not, since it's one of my favorite songs of the 80s and I'd love to hear a new extended version.

It's basically an extended version of the 7-inch; not much different.

Brenda Russell - Piano In The Dark

Oh man!

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Monday, 3 April 2006 13:01 (twenty years ago)

"Piano in the Dark" is one of those perennial dentist's office lite-rock songs I hear from time to time. What about "Into the Night" by Benny Mardones? That's another dentist's office song.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Monday, 3 April 2006 13:18 (twenty years ago)

Yes, I have spent a lot of time at the dentist's office.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Monday, 3 April 2006 13:19 (twenty years ago)

I hear "Into the Night" pretty often; same with Benjamin Orr's "Stay the Night."

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Monday, 3 April 2006 13:25 (twenty years ago)

Ok. Never mind then. But have you seen photos of Benny Mardones lately? I don't want him to pick me up, show me love or take me into the night. Then again, I'm not 16. He probably wouldn't want to anyway.

double, "captain of her heart"

always and forever a fave

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Monday, 3 April 2006 13:45 (twenty years ago)

"Into the Night" is one of the most repulsive songs ever written.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Monday, 3 April 2006 13:47 (twenty years ago)

"leave her alone they said"

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Monday, 3 April 2006 13:51 (twenty years ago)

It is indeed. It's vile.

What about "Shake You Down" by Gregory Abbott? Eenie meenie miney mo, come on girl let's sho fo sho. It was exactly like "Sexual Healing" but with different words.

― The Milkmaid (82375538-A) (The Milkmaid), Monday, 3 April 2006 13:54 (twenty years ago)

who could forget "We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off To Have A Good Time" by Jermaine Stewart (I liked it! I liked it!)

― VegemiteGrrl (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 03:44 (twenty years ago)

That Australian 12" of "Electric Blue" is pretty good, but it's much different than the one I have, which actually makes a somewhat significant break from the original structurally and musically. I think it's about as good as the 7", which isn't something I say lightly.

"Electric Blue (Extended Version)"

Oh Geir, how COULD you? It makes "Ebony And Ivory" sound positively subtle!

That's not as bad as:

― Rufus 3000 (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 18:18 (twenty years ago)

"Black and white, it's like day and night, there's no wrong just right, in black and white..."

It's still a great song though, with a very typical mid 80s synth sound. :)

And I like "Ebony & Ivory" too...

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 20:36 (twenty years ago)

Stevie Nicks - "I Can't Wait"
Device - "Hanging On a Heart Attack"

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 21:27 (twenty years ago)

"Mama Used to Say," Junior

Oh, that's a great choice, Rickey. FYI, the same guy who produced that song also produced the original version of Language's "We're Celebrating" AND was the keyboardist in the band.

together in electric dreams PHILIP OAKEY/GIORGIO MORODER

Aw, m.coleman, I LOVELOVELOVELOVE that song TO DEATH. It makes me feel alive when I hear it. :)

Alfred, I'm sorry the remix didn't live up to my hyping of it. I was exuberant because I hadn't heard a remix of the song before, I suppose. But I do now have the regular "Electric Blue" -- are you still interested?

"Into the Night" is one of the most repulsive songs ever written.

I third that emotion (The Milkmaid seconded it). A song from the viewpoint of a sexual predator = not even Milli Vanilli was as hate-worthy. BTW, I don't think "Shake You Down" can be considered "forgotten". It's on all of the '80s retrospective compilations -- deservedly so, actually.

"What's He Got", The Producers
Into You Like A Train- Psychedelic Furs
Device - "Hanging On a Heart Attack"

Yay! I ADORE all three of those songs and am glad they got mentioned!!

The Good Dr. Bill, thank you for sharing the regular extended version of "Electric Blue". :)

― See Me, Repeat Me (Dee the Lurker), Thursday, 6 April 2006 00:32 (nineteen years ago)

I enjoyed the "Electric Blue" remix, See Me, Repeat Me; if I haven't mentioned, I apologize!

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Thursday, 6 April 2006 00:43 (nineteen years ago)

It's ok, Alfred.

― See Me, Repeat Me (Dee the Lurker), Thursday, 6 April 2006 03:25 (nineteen years ago)

Some excellent choices everyone!!!

African and White- China Crisis

The Men at Work, Romeo Void, and Wall of Voodoo are not all forgotten by me, the latter is their signature tune

― Josefa, Wednesday, 5 October 2022 23:45 (three years ago)

Yeah, but your knowledge is deep. I don't think many people could name it anymore.

― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Wednesday, 5 October 2022 23:48 (three years ago)

Thought about INXS, "Don't Change"

― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Wednesday, 5 October 2022 23:49 (three years ago)

Thank you, Jimbeaux.

But again, “Don’t Change,” I mean that’s one of the first two INXS titles that occurs to me.

― Josefa, Thursday, 6 October 2022 00:05 (three years ago)

To me too, but 99% of the time you'll get people referring to something from Kick, X or maybe Listen Like Thieves.

― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Thursday, 6 October 2022 00:07 (three years ago)

And I forgot to mention, “Ball of Confusion,” that was a huge song to me in the ‘80s. Not embarrassed to say I heard that before I heard the Temptations one.

― Josefa, Thursday, 6 October 2022 00:10 (three years ago)

LOL

Me too. I suspect we are of the same vintage. But I'm not sure how many people would think of that song when they think of LnR . . . if they think of LnR at all.

― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Thursday, 6 October 2022 00:13 (three years ago)

Coincidentally just yesterday I heard “Kundalini Express” by LnR in the wild and thought, jesu fucking cristo, that was a great track

― Josefa, Thursday, 6 October 2022 00:30 (three years ago)

That song pops into my head with surprising regularity. That whole album is a trip, although imho not as good as the first one.

― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Thursday, 6 October 2022 00:34 (three years ago)

Cheri - Murphy's Law (UK #13, US #39, 1982)
― houdini said, Wednesday, October 5, 2022 7:04 PM

I love any song with that "Jam On It" vocal effect (but that's probably because I was 11 when those songs came out).
