With exception of "Hand In Glove," you totally stole my playlist :) :D ;D

Omitting the ones I don't know:

New Order - "True Faith"
Awesome.  So much better than the overrated Depeche Mode.  4.5

Depeche Mode - "Strangelove"
The closest I ever came to liking a Depeche Mode song.  3

Thompson Twins - "Hold Me Now"
Touching, in a slightly cheesy way.  4

The Cars - "Drive"
Some of my most cherished memories are of driving a girl home.  4.5

Madness - "Our House"
Like most things Madness, loads of fun.  5

Men Without Hats - "The Safety Dance"
Ehh.   2.5

Blondie - "Rapture"
Debbie, I love you.  I really do.  But don't ever rap again.  1

Spandau Ballet - "True"
One of those songs you feel like a complete sap for liking.  4

Gary Numan – "Cars"
I... I just don't get it.  I'm sorry.  2

The Romantics – "Talking In Your Sleep"
The Romantics were meant to be a power pop group, not new wave.  2

Psychedelic Furs – "Love My Way"
I ADORE the Furs.  4.5

The Plimsoles – "A Million Miles Away"
One of the most awesome, yet sadly forgotten power pop songs of the eighties.  5

Kajagoogoo – "Too Shy"
Oh god.  If anyone ever disparages the eighties, this song is why.  1

The Smiths - "Hand In Glove"
Never heard a Smiths song that wasn't good.  4.5
