#80sTop30 Day 14. Unranked. Perfect Skin - Lloyd Cole & The Commotions. I know has been a popular choice, but it was the first single I pulled out of the box when thinking about my list so you're just going to have to listen to this superlative pop song one more time! 😎 youtu.be/fAJUpbWOmtQ?...

As someone who read 2000AD I loved the fact Phil Oakey wore a Judge Dredd t shirt. Love this song from 1984 #80sTop30 #MusicChallenge #TogetherInElectricDreams #GiorgioMoroder #PhilOakey m.youtube.com/watch?v=PE1l...

RIP D'Angelo, the greatest singer since Marvin departed. Who took the grit & attitude of hip-hop & alchemized it into angelic voodoo. He condensed the human condition - sex, suffering, addiction, love, oppression - into pure transcendence. A comet emitting blinding light & soul.

absolutely one of the most incandescent talents of his generation. made music for all time. a heavy loss.

Bit of a gut punch reading that. Bless him.

How lovely is this Sri Lankan Anthem?

So excited to share this release with you. Pre order out Friday x

Bebé lives and plays in Ibiza and he's going to the World Cup. That's some end to a very odd career. #CaboVerde

#80sTop30 18. Grace Jones - Pull Up To The Bumper More sauce than you can dip a bag of chips into! Innuendos aplenty as Grace seduces with this disco meets new wave belter - with Sly & Robbie along for the ride. Dubby and funky - this song is pure filth!! And I love it! Take us to 54 Grace 🪩

#80sTop30 Into the top 20. At number 20, Bomb the Bass - Beat Dis. Lots of reasons why I chose this, but mainly because it’s a fucking great piece of music & I loved the way it was put together with virtually no money, by young people in London, who then went to number 1 with it. Pure punk. 😎

#80sTop30 19: David Bowie - Modern Love I became a bit obsessed with this song in the 90's-putting it on the jukebox everytime went to my local -which was a lot back then! Nile Rodgers produced genius. From the 1983 album Let's Dance. youtu.be/mMfh38YTzE8?...

#80sTop30 no 12 Prefab Sprout - Bonny I bought Steve Mcqueen because I read a DamFunk interview and he said the album was one of his all-time favourites. This is a highlight. Also, Seal does a great version of Bonny

#80sTop30 20 Forbidden Colours | Riuichi Sakamoto / David Sylvian | 1983 Single version of the theme tune to Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence. That enchanting melody is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever heard and with added vocals from Mr Sylvian, it couldn’t fail to resonate. youtu.be/jsG2M66-_xc
