1980's girl pop was huge when I was a little kid. We sang all these songs for concerts in grade school. I wish I could go back in time and date my grade school music teacher. She was progressive. It was the starting of my abject appreciation and love for the ladies.

*A-Ha

Ok, I'll elaborate a bit more. A-Ha because their songs were good and pretty catchy.

*Frankie Goes to Hollywood -Power of love still an excellent song, and Two tribes.

*New Order - Blue Monday is a classic

*Europe - The final countdown really defined the 80's for me (and was their only hit) loved the solo in it.

Was never into the Go-Gos.

I also liked FYC (Fine Young Cannibals) to the uninitiated.
She Drives Me Crazy is still one of my favourite songs of all time.
