Currently working on a music quiz involving a round on 80's singles. After digging through my vast collection of compilation CD's and surfing YouTube for 80's TOTP there are some classics out there.Brought back some great memories of my late teens/early 20's.

Here are some -

Party Fears Two - The Associates

Obession - Animotion

The Captain of Her Heart - Double

In Love With a German Film Star - The Passions

Respect Yourself - Kane Gang

Mary's Prayer - Danny Wilson

Ever So Lonely - Monsoon

Is Vic There? - Department S

Reward - Teardrop Explodes

Saftey Dance - Men Without Hats

She Sells Sanctury - The Cult

To name just a few.....

    So who were the girl band with the Fun Boy 3 on Our Lips are Sealed? That wasn't the Go-Go's was it? There's a female band playing with them on TOTP.

    Anyone remember The Adventures?

    Had a couple of minor hits in the early 80's, Send My Heart and Another Silent Day I remember. Went quiet and came back in the late 80's with the brilliant Broken Land. That got into the Top 20 but that was about it for them I think.

    I read somewhere that they still occasionally gig. I always follwed them as they held their bank account in a bank in Greenwich where I worked in the early 80's. Although they came from N Ireland I guess they lived in SE10. I remember clearly when they paid in their first advance chq from Chrysalis, about £60k. We didn't have many celeb customers.

     Denzil from OFAH and writer Barry Keefe were the only other two I can recall - They are connected actually, anyone know?

    I love the Jam but what I was actually refering to was more the individual single from bands who came and went. Sort of One Hit Wonders. I know not everyone I mentioned only had one hit but you get my drift?

    Wang Chung - Dance Hall Days

    Live is Life - Opus (saw them live in Belgrade whilst very drunk on a european tour, there were other bands but I have no idea who)
