Traveling back to 1983, here's "Gold," by Spandau Ballet. They are best known for their hit, "True," but this song is a good one that was a hit in their native UK.


Of course, everyone knows and loves "True."

Here's a personal favorite of mine. I think Sigue Sigue Sputnik are known mostly for having this song on the Ferris Bueller's Day Off soundtrack. "Love Missile F1-11" is a synth-loaded cyberpunk track with a video that reminds me of a Japanese anime from the 80s.



"Cut Your Hair" was probably Pavement's biggest brush with mainstream success as it was in almost-heavy rotation on MTV when it was released in 1994. I remember really enjoying the song and the humorous video a lot. Sort of makes me miss 8th grade...

Have a good weekend!
